The Economic Impact of SC’s Natural Resources
I just caught wind of this afternoon’s release of The 2009 study, “Underappreciated Assets: The Economic Impact of South Carolina’s Natural Resources” by USC, Moore School of Business professor Dr. Doug Woodward.
Interviews, photos, video: Dr. Doug Woodward, professor and researcher, University of South Carolina Moore School of Business; Natural Resources Society Board Members; South Carolina Natural Resources Director John Frampton and others. Digital images and video of South Carolinians using and enjoying the state’s natural resources will be available for attending media.
| Who: | University of South Carolina Moore School of Business, South Carolina Natural Resources Society and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. |
| What: | Release of The 2009 study, “Underappreciated Assets: The Economic Impact of South Carolina’s Natural Resources” by University of South Carolina, Moore School of Business professor Dr. Doug Woodward. |
| When: | Wednesday, May 27, 2009, Charleston 3:30 p.m |
| Where: | Charleston City Marina 17 Lockwood Drive in Charleston |
| Why: | An extensive study of this scope and magnitude is the first of its kind in South Carolina. This comprehensive report documents the economic impact of activities associated with South Carolina’s natural resources, such as wildlife related outdoor recreation (i.e. hunting, fishing, boating, wildlife watching), resource based tourism, forestry, mining, boat manufacturing and commercial fishing. Research results reveal an astonishing impact on sustained employment and the state’s economy. |
For more information, read SCDNR’s Green Report, which states that S.C. natural resources contribute $30 billion to the economy.
