State of the U.S. Ocean and Coastal Economies - 2009


This nation's coasts and oceans contribute much to the United States economy. For the past ten years, the National Ocean Economics Program (NOEP) has compiled time-series data that track economic activities, demographics, natural resource production, non-market values, and federal expenditures in the U.S. coastal zone both on land and in the water. In June 2009, NOEP released its first national level report of the U.S. ocean and coastal economies. The following reports are available in Adobe PDF format:
