Recreation
Tourism and recreation is one of the most important contributors to the regional economy and surrounding communities.
Recreation Work Group
The Non-Consumptive Recreation work group seeks to identify, characterize, and share information about measures to maintain the recreational value of important non-consumptive recreational areas and the activities they sustain.
The Mid-Atlantic coast and ocean provide many opportunities for recreation:
- Boating
- Surfing
- Wildlife Viewing
- Hiking and more
These activities draw tourists from near and far, and contribute significantly to the region’s coastal economy.
