The reasoning behind this experiment is to try and measure the value of sport fishing to anglers. The payoffs go from $15 to $500 per angler and for the cash they have to surrender their saltwater fishing permit. Federal officials claim the results will help them measure the potential loss to anglers in the case of environmental disasters like oil spills and the like.
