| Notes | In 1992, “a zoning approach with voluntary restrictions for certain hours of the day and certain seasons of the year was implemented” on the North Umpqua River for recreational users of the river (p.543). Was this enough to prevent confluct between the various groups that used the river? Could whitewater boaters, fly fishers and salmon fishers get along? If there were confluct between user groups, did that conflict affect the satisfaction users experienced? “As reported crowding levels were very low for both boaters and anglers, we posit there is little need for managerial attention. At the current time the management approach of spatial zoning and river floating guidelines is working to prevent in- and outgroup conflict between boaters and anglers.” (p.550) |
