1 Figure 6. Ocean related GDP in counties of the north and middle Atlantic coast regions. This map shows ocean related GDP (value added economic activity) in 2009 for counties within the North and Middle Atlantic coastal regions of the U.S. Recreational and tourism related industries dominate ocean related GDP for these two regions. The lightest shaded counties had a GDP of less than $300 million. The next darker shading designates counties with GDP between $300 and $999 million, followed by counties with GDP between $1.0 and $2.9 billion. The small sliver of the darkest shade near the west end of Long Island represents New York County, New York, whose Ocean related GDP exceeded $11 billion in 2009.

2 Figure 7. Ocean related employment in counties of the north and middle Atlantic coast regions. This map shows ocean related direct employment in 2009 for counties within the North and Middle Atlantic coastal regions of the U.S. More than two thirds of ocean related employment for these two regions is associated with recreational and tourism related industries. The shading, from lightest to darkest, represents 0 to 4,999 jobs; 5,000 to 14,999 jobs; 15,000 to 49,999 jobs, and 50,000 jobs or more. The small sliver of the darkest shade near the west end of Long Island represents New York County, New York, with over 50,000 jobs.

3 Figure 8. Map of ocean related GDP in counties of the South Atlantic coast region This map shows ocean related GDP (value added economic activity) in 2009 for counties within the South Atlantic coastal region of the U.S. As with the North and Middle Atlantic regions, ocean related GDP is generated predominately from recreational and tourism related industries. The lightest shade represents counties with an ocean related GDP up to $299 million; the next darkest from $300 to $999 million, and the darkest shaded counties shown represent GDP from $1.0 to less than $3 billion.

4 Figure 9. Map of ocean related employment in counties of the south Atlantic coast region This map shows ocean related direct employment in 2009 for counties within the South Atlantic coastal region of the U.S. On average, over three fourths of ocean related employment in this region is in recreational and tourism related industries. The lightest shade designates counties with from 0 to 4,999 ocean related jobs; the next darkest from 5,000 to 14,999 jobs, and the darkest shaded counties shown on the map represent counties with 15,000 to 49,999 ocean related jobs.

5 Figure 10. Map of ocean related GDP in counties of the Gulf of Mexico coast region This map shows ocean related GDP (value added economic activity) in 2009 for counties within the Gulf of Mexico coastal region of the U.S. Counties with the largest ocean related GDP include Harris County, Texas, Orleans County, Louisiana, and Pinellas County, Florida. On average, ocean related GDP is dominated by off shore minerals in the western Gulf of Mexico, and recreation and tourism in the eastern Gulf. The lightest shade represents counties with an ocean related GDP less than $300 million; the next darkest from $300 million to less than $1 billion, followed by counties with an ocean related GDP of $1 to less than $3 billion. The dark blue shaded counties have an ocean related GDP of $3 billion or more.

6 Figure 11. Map of ocean related employment in counties of the Gulf of Mexico coast region This map shows ocean related direct employment in 2009 for counties in the Gulf of Mexico coastal region of the U.S. Counties with the greatest number of jobs include Harris County, Texas, Orleans County Louisiana, and Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties, Florida. As was the case with Gross Domestic Product (GDP), ocean related employment in the Gulf of Mexico region is dominated by off shore minerals in the western Gulf of Mexico, and recreation and tourism in the eastern Gulf.

7 Figure 12. Map of ocean related GDP in counties of the Pacific coast region This map shows ocean related GDP in 2009 for coastal counties within California and the North Pacific coast region of the U.S. Top counties include Los Angeles and San Diego in California, and, King County in Washington. Ocean related GDP is dominated by tourism, recreation, and transportation in California, and by ship and boat building in the Pacific Northwest.

8 Figure 13. Map of ocean related employment in counties of the Pacific coast region This map shows ocean related direct employment in 2009 for coastal counties within California and the North Pacific coast region of the U.S. Top counties include Los Angeles, Orange, San Francisco and San Diego in California, and King County in Washington State. Ocean related employment is dominated by tourism and recreation in both California and the Pacific Northwest.

9 Figure 14. Map of ocean related GDP in counties of the Great Lakes coast region This map shows ocean related GDP in 2009 for coastal counties within the eastern and western Great Lakes regions of the U.S. Top counties include Milwaukee County, Wisconsin; Cook and Lake Counties, Illinois; Wayne County, Michigan; Cuyahoga County, Ohio; and Erie County, New York. Ocean related GDP in both Great Lakes regions is dominated by tourism and recreation industries.

10 Figure 15. Map of ocean related employment in counties of the Great Lakes coast region This map shows ocean related direct employment in 2009 for coastal counties within the eastern and western Great Lakes regions of the U.S. The geographic distribution of ocean related employment is similar to that for GDP, with Cook County (Chicago), Illinois being far and away the largest. Again, ocean related employment in both regions is dominated by the tourism and recreation industries.

11 Figure 16. Map of ocean related GDP in boroughs and census areas of the Alaska coast region This shows ocean related GDP in 2009 for the coastal boroughs, municipalities, and census areas of Alaska. The municipality of Anchorage is the largest, with an estimated ocean GDP of $5.2 billion. The North Slope and the Kenai Peninsula are the next largest municipalities. Over threefourths of Alaska s GDP comes from near or off shore minerals and mining activities.

12 Figure 17. Map of ocean related employment in boroughs and census areas of the Alaska coast region This map shows ocean related direct employment during 2009 in Alaska s coastal boroughs, census areas and municipalities. Nearly half of all Alaska jobs were in the tourism and recreation industries, although 99 percent of those in the North Slope were in minerals and mining. The municipality of Anchorage had the largest employment followed by the North Slope borough.

13 Figure 18. Map of ocean related GDP in counties of the Hawaii coast region This map shows ocean related GDP in 2009 for the Hawaiian Islands. Over ninety percent of the State s ocean related GDP is generated by its tourism and recreation industries. Over 60 percent of the State of Hawaii s GDP occurs in the capital of Honolulu on the island of Oahu. Twenty percent of Hawaii s GDP is generated on the island of Maui.

14 Figure 19. Map of ocean related employment in counties of the Hawaii coast region This map shows ocean related direct employment in 2009 for the Hawaiian Islands. Nearly 60 percent of the State s jobs are located in the capital of Honolulu on the island of Oahu. Ninety one percent of ocean related jobs in the state are in the tourism and recreation industries.
