Administrator. ClerkofCommission Cover Memo Item # 11 Go Fish Georgia Initiative The purpose of the Go Fish Georgia Initiative is to promote and enhance boating and fishing tourism and to boost economic development in communities across the state. This initiative will result in a quality fisheries resource statewide, including family friendly fishing and recreation access points that will increase fishing partici- pation in Georgia. Fishing tournaments are a growing economic force in the nation. A single large tournament can contribute several million dollars to a local economy. Currently, all neighboring states except South Carolina, attract more large bass fishing tournaments than Georgia. Georgia is the sixth highest among states in send- ing resident anglers to other states and 21st in attracting non-resident anglers. A better quality fishery would encourage those anglers to spend their dollars here. Georgia is also home to the world record largemouth bass (22 lbs., 4 oz. caught by George W. Perry on June 2, 1932). This catch presents a significant attraction for bass anglers. Resident and non-resident anglers currently spend about $569 million each year on fishing in Georgia. The economic effect of angler spending is about $1.5 billion. There are 10,649 jobs related to sport fishing in Georgia, which generates $15 million in state income taxes, and $19 million in state sales taxes. A major bass fishing tournament can have a $4-5 million economic impact on the local community. A championship event can have a $27 million economic impact. For more information on the Go Fish Georgia Initiative, please contact Dan Forster, Director of DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division at (770) 918-6401. Potential Go Fish Georgia Bass Trail Sites These sites are for discussion purposes only. Colored sites are communities and fishing destinations that DNR thinks are ready to begin active partnerships. GO FISH GEORGIA! Go Fish Georgia is a $30 million initiative that will leverage $19 million in state funds with private donations and financial support from local communities. Georgia attracts fewer bass tournaments than all neighboring states except South Carolina. Publication date: 1/25/2007 Attachment number 1 Page 1 of 2 Item # 11 GOAL 3:IMPROVE QUALITY OF FISHING IN GEORGIA WATERS Improve Fish Stocks *Managing and/or stocking additional forage species in Georgia reservoirs and rivers will increase sport fish growth rates and production. *Improve fishing in the state’s waters through the introduction of species and strains best suited to Georgia fisheries and habitat. The construction of a new, state-of-the-art hatchery/research facility will be required. Improve Habitat *Increase productivity in state-owned lakes through a fertilization program - a current major factor in sustaining high quality angling on state-owned public fishing area lakes. *Improve habitat in publicly owned small impoundments through fertilization, structure and other improvements to increase growth rates of fish. *Improve fish habitat in reservoirs and rivers through the introduction of native aquatic vegetation, other natural habitat components or artificial structures. EC O N O MI C B E N E F I T S Each year,Georgia gains hundreds of thousands of new citizens. Preserving the quality of the environment and recre- ational resources, especially those involving water, are important factors in maintaining a high quality of life and attracting visitors and new residents. GOAL 1:IMPROVE ACCESS TO GEORGIA WATERS Georgia Bass Trail *Develop the Georgia Bass Trail,a system of major event access areas statewide that would be sufficient for conduct- ing organized fishing events as well as supporting normal boating and fishing use. Family Friendly Access *Develop new boating access to water bodies in Georgia where access currently limits fishing and other uses. *Improve access to currently under-utilized smaller reservoirs that have untapped fishing potential. *Add amenities and improve maintenance at existing access sites. Virtual Access Guide *Improve the use of Georgia waters through the development of fishing guides, maps and other products useful to anglers and boaters that are Web-accessible. EC O N O MI C B E N E F I T S Providing access to otherwise inaccessible water bodies can have a clear and measurable effect on use of the water by fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts. A system of large access sites serving the needs of tournament anglers would have considerable economic impact. GOAL 2: INCREASE FISHING PARTICIPATION BY PROMOTING GEORGIA RESOURCES Go Fish Georgia Center *The Go Fish Georgia Center will benefit local, state and regional economies by promoting fishing opportunities across the state. Constructed in conjunction with a premier fish hatchery,this facility would serve as a family friend- ly tourist destination. Partnerships *Encourage sportfishing and conservation ethics through regular interaction with organized angler groups. ECONO M IC BE NEFI TS Resident and non-resident anglers currently spend about $569 million each year on fishing in Georgia, with an economic impact of $1.5 billion. A 15 percent increase in fishing activity would increase the economic impact by almost $250 million. Existing warm water hatchery facilities are at maximum capacity to support current programs. The research and fish production necessary to improve the quality of fishing in Georgia will require additional production ponds and the construc- tion of a new, state- of-the-art hatchery and research facility. Development of the Georgia Bass Trail will provide a statewide system of large boating access areas capable of supporting large tournament events, and normal boating and fishing activities on major water bodies. The vision for this trail is to have 15 sites, each providing its own unique bass fishing experience. Development of this trail will not require land acquisition in most cases. Sites and facilities will vary in size depending on the size of the water body. The economic impact of individual tournaments range from hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single-day event and up to $27 million for a championship multiple day event. The centerpiece of the efforts to promote fishing and increase participation is the Go Fish Georgia Center. Design plans include a 30,000 square-foot visitors center with aquaria and other exhibits, public fishing ponds, interpretive trails and outdoor classrooms. A similar facility in Texas receives about 65,000 visitors a year, but it is located near a small city and away from major interstate highways. If the Georgia facility is locat- ed centrally on a major interstate, it is expected to attract more than 200,000 visitors per year. Fishing is BIG BUSINESS!
