NotesThis is a study of "the non-consumptive recreational ocean user (NROU) community. The NROU group includes surfers, kayakers, boaters, divers, and many others..." (p.3) Who are marine recreationists who are not hunters or fishers? Where do they go? What factors motivate their recreational choices? How do they contribute to local economies? How do they relate to marine renewable energy such as wind or tidal power generation? This publication offers insights on these questions.
