4 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This study was conducted for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (hereinafter referred to as the Department) to determine Florida residents and tourists participation in outdoor recreation and their outdoor recreation needs. The study was undertaken in support of the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). The study entailed two telephone surveys: the first of Florida residents and the second of tourists who visit Florida. For the survey of residents, telephones were selected as the preferred sampling medium because of the almost universal ownership of telephones among Florida residents. The survey of tourists used a multi-modal approach: the primary contact method was through telephone, supplemented with online contacts. The telephone survey questionnaires were developed cooperatively by Responsive Management and the Department. Responsive Management conducted pre-tests of the questionnaires to ensure proper wording, flow, and logic in the surveys. The tourist survey questionnaire was modified as necessary to create the online survey, and a pretest was conducted of this, as well. The online survey could be accessed at any time at the convenience of the respondent. The survey of residents was conducted in April through September 0. The survey of tourists was conducted in three waves to account for the seasonality of Florida s tourism season: May, August and October 0. The software used for telephone survey data collection was Questionnaire Programming Language. Once the data were obtained, QPL software exported the data into the project database in a format compatible with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The online survey data were imported into the project database in SPSS using interfacing software as part of the online survey program. After the surveys were obtained by the interviewers, the Survey Center Managers and/or statisticians checked each completed survey to ensure clarity and completeness. Responsive Management obtained a total of,96 completed surveys with Florida residents and,890 completed surveys with Florida tourists (of the latter,,06 had participated in outdoor

5 ii Responsive Management recreation and received the full survey). The analysis of data was performed using SPSS as well as proprietary software developed by Responsive Management. IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION AND MOTIVATIONS FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUTDOOR RECREATION Nearly all Florida residents (96%) say that outdoor recreation is important to them; this includes 7% who think it is very important and % who think it is somewhat important. The results are similar among tourists: 98% say outdoor recreation is important to them personally (65% saying very important and % saying somewhat important). The survey asked how important or unimportant three factors are for Florida residents when they participate in outdoor recreation in Florida. At the top is spending time with family and friends (99% think this is important, including 9% who think it is very important) and being active and healthy (98% overall; 87% saying very important). The last, but still considered important, is being close to nature (9% overall; 6% saying very important). The tourist survey results mirror the above results (although relative to residents, tourists play a little less importance on being close to nature): at the top is spending time with family and friends (96% overall; 85% saying very important). Next is being active and healthy (9% overall; 65% saying very important), followed by being close to nature (8% overall; 5% saying very important). In an open-ended question (meaning that no answer set was included; respondents could answer with anything that came to mind), Florida residents were asked to name the most important reasons that they participate in outdoor recreation in Florida. The top answers are for their health/physical fitness (%), to be with family and friends (9%), for relaxation / for fun / enjoyment (6%), to be outdoors / to be close to nature (%), and to enjoy the scenery (8%). No other answer had more than 0%; the full listing is shown in the graph. Among tourists, the top reason for participating in outdoor recreation in Florida is for relaxation/fun/enjoyment (%), to be with family and friends (%), because Florida has good recreation opportunities (6%), and to be outdoors/close to nature (%).

6 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan iii The tourist survey asked respondents to name the main reasons that they visited Florida. Most tourists came simply to have fun (6%); nonetheless, % came to visit family and/or friends, 6% came for specific outdoor recreation activities, and 6% came because of work (although they still may have participated in recreation while in Florida for work). PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES AND PLANNED PARTICIPATION The resident survey asked each respondent whether he or she participated in each of 6 activities in Florida in the past months. Three tiers emerge. At the top, all with at least a third of Florida residents engaging in the activity are saltwater beach activities (6%), wildlife viewing trips (9%), bicycling (%), picnicking (0%), visiting historic or archeological sites (9%), and saltwater fishing (8%). (Note that participation in any fishing, either freshwater or saltwater, is at 6%, which ranks it third.) The middle tier, with at least a quarter participating in each activity (but less than a third) includes swimming in an outdoor pool (9%), freshwater fishing (8%), canoeing or kayaking (6%), and hiking (6%). The remainder of the activities have less than a quarter participating in them. An analysis of trends that compared the current results with the results of a study conducted in 00 found that most activities have participation rates in 0 that are consistent with 00 rates, with three exceptions, all with a difference of approximately 0 percentage points or more: canoeing/kayaking participation rose from % to 6%; nature study participation fell from 7% to 8%; and the rate of visiting historic or archeological sites fell from 9% to 9%. The tourist survey found similar results: saltwater beach activities and wildlife viewing were prominent, along with picnicking, swimming in public outdoor pools, visiting historic or archeological sites, hiking, and saltwater fishing.

7 iv Responsive Management Residents who went fishing were asked about their fishing locations in general, and fishing from a boat predominated. Among saltwater anglers, 70% fished from a boat, % fished from a pier/jetty/catwalk, and 7% fished saltwater from the shore (note that some respondents fished from more than one location). Among tourists, 7% fished from a boat, 5% from a pier/jetty/catwalk, and 8% saltwater fished from the shore. Among freshwater anglers, boats were less dominant, but still a majority used one: 57% of freshwater anglers fished from a boat, 50% fished from the shore, and 5% fished from a pier/jetty/catwalk. Among tourists, 57% fished from a boat, 9% freshwater fished from the shore, and 9% fished from a pier/jetty/catwalk. The surveys asked about boat ramp use: A quarter of Florida residents (5%) used a saltwater boat ramp in Florida in the past months in Florida. Among tourists, the rate of use was 7%. A slightly lower percentage of residents (9%) used a freshwater boat ramp in Florida in the past months. Among tourists, the rate of use was %. In sum, % of residents used any boat ramp in Florida, a freshwater and/or saltwater boat ramp; 8% of tourists used any boat ramp. Respondents who had bicycled were asked whether they used paved roads and trails or unpaved roads and trails (and some used both): 9% used paved roads and trails, while 6% used unpaved roads and trails. The results among tourists are quite similar: 90% used paved roads or trails, and 9% unpaved roads and trails. The survey asked Florida residents to indicate whether they expect to personally participate in outdoor recreation activities more, about the same amount, or less in the next months compared to the past months. While the majority of residents said about the same (55%), the percentage who said more (6%) far exceeds the percentage who said less (7%). The tourist survey asked the same question, with similar results: the majority (58%) said about the same, and the percentage saying more (%) exceeded the percentage saying less (5%).

8 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan v The tourist survey asked about the likelihood that tourists would revisit Florida again in the next months. Among this group, 75% indicated being very likely to do so. NUMBER OF DAYS OF PARTICIPATION The survey looked at days of participation in the various activities among residents. In summary, the activities with the most highly avid participants, in general, are bicycling, basketball, baseball/softball, soccer, golfing, tennis, football, saltwater beach activities, offroad vehicle driving, swimming in outdoor pools, and hunting. This list was derived from looking at both the mean and median days of participation. OUTDOOR RECREATION LOCATIONS The majority of Florida residents travel less than 0 miles to participate in outdoor recreation. The mean number of miles is.7 miles; the median is 0 miles. SATISFACTION WITH OUTDOOR RECREATION IN FLORIDA AND RATINGS OF FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES The overwhelming majority of Florida residents (80%) are satisfied with the outdoor recreation opportunities in their county; nonetheless, % are dissatisfied. Among tourists, satisfaction with outdoor recreation opportunities is even higher than among residents: 97% of tourists are satisfied, including 77% who are very satisfied. The ratings of quality of facilities for outdoor recreation in respondents counties of residence are positive: 78% rate the facilities excellent or good. On the other end, 0% rate them fair or poor. Tourists also rated outdoor recreation facilities in the Florida county that they visited: 96% rated them excellent or good. The ratings of the amount of opportunities available are similar to the ratings above: 7% rate them excellent or good, while 5% rate them fair or poor. Tourists gave high ratings to the amount of opportunities available in Florida: 95% rate them excellent or good.

9 vi Responsive Management OPINIONS ON OUTDOOR RECREATION OFFERINGS IN FLORIDA The overwhelming majority of Florida residents (9%) support having Florida maintain its current levels of outdoor recreation services and opportunities, with most of that support being strong support (70%). Among tourists, a large majority support maintaining the current levels of outdoor recreation services and opportunities in Florida: 9% support overall, including 68% who strongly support. When asked if there are any other outdoor recreation facilities that they would like to see built or provided in their county, 0% of Florida residents say that there are. The top facilities desired are community parks, biking paths, playgrounds for children, and outdoor public swimming pools.

11 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This study was conducted for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (hereinafter referred to as the Department) to determine Florida residents and tourists participation in outdoor recreation and their outdoor recreation needs. The study was undertaken in support of the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). The study entailed two telephone surveys: the first of Florida residents and the second of tourists who visit Florida. Specific aspects of the research methodology are discussed below. MULTI-MODAL SURVEY DESIGN For the survey of residents, telephones were selected as the preferred sampling medium because of the almost universal ownership of telephones among Florida residents. The survey of tourists used a multi-modal approach: the primary contact method was through telephone, supplemented with online contacts. DESIGN OF QUESTIONNAIRES The telephone survey questionnaires were developed cooperatively by Responsive Management and the Department, based on the research team s familiarity with outdoor recreation, as well as SCORP studies for various other states. Responsive Management conducted pre-tests of the questionnaires to ensure proper wording, flow, and logic in the surveys. The tourist survey questionnaire was modified as necessary to create the online survey, and a pretest was conducted of this, as well. SURVEY SAMPLES The sample of Florida residents was obtained from Survey Sampling International and Database 0, firms that specialize in providing scientific samples for human dimensions studies. Residents were sampled to ensure each of eight regions of Florida had enough respondents for valid results (see map of Florida Regions on the following page). For statewide analyses, the regions were then weighted so that the results were representative of all residents of Florida ages 8 and older. The tourist sample was obtained from several sources to represent a cross-section of tourists to the state. The sampling was conducted in three distinct waves to ensure proper temporal representation of tourists. The tourist sampling plan, in part, mirrored panel methods employed by Visit Florida, the official not-for-profit arm of the Florida Commission on Tourism.

12 Responsive Management FLORIDA REGIONS TELEPHONE INTERVIEWING AND DATA MANAGEMENT FACILITIES A central polling site at the Responsive Management office allowed for rigorous quality control over the telephone interviews and data collection from both the telephone and online surveys. Responsive Management maintains its own in-house telephone interviewing and data management facilities. These facilities are staffed by interviewers with experience conducting computer-assisted telephone interviews on the subjects of outdoor recreation and natural resources. To ensure the integrity of the telephone survey data, Responsive Management has interviewers who have been trained according to the standards established by the Council of American Survey Research Organizations. Methods of instruction included lecture and role-playing. The Survey Center Managers and other professional staff conducted a project briefing with the interviewers prior to the administration of these surveys. Interviewers were instructed on type of study, study goals and objectives, handling of survey questions, interview length, qualifiers for participation, interviewer instructions within the survey questionnaires, reading of the survey questions, skip patterns, and probing and clarifying techniques necessary for specific questions on the survey questionnaires.

13 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan INTERVIEWING DATES AND TIMES Telephone surveying times are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday from noon to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., local time. A five-callback design was used to maintain the representativeness of the sample, to avoid bias toward people easy to reach by telephone, and to provide an equal opportunity for all to participate. When a respondent could not be reached on the first call, subsequent calls were placed on different days of the week and at different times of the day. The online survey could be accessed at any time at the convenience of the respondent. The survey of residents was conducted in April through September 0. The survey of tourists was conducted in three waves to account for the seasonality of Florida s tourism season: May, August and October 0. SURVEY DATA COLLECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL The software used for telephone survey data collection was Questionnaire Programming Language (QPL). The survey data were entered into the computer as each interview was being conducted, eliminating manual data entry after the completion of the survey and the concomitant data entry errors that may occur with manual data entry. The survey questionnaires were programmed so that QPL branched, coded, and substituted phrases in the survey based on previous responses to ensure the integrity and consistency of the data collection. The Survey Center Managers and statisticians monitored the data collection, including monitoring of the actual telephone interviews without the interviewers knowledge, to evaluate the performance of each interviewer and ensure the integrity of the data. The survey questionnaires themselves contained error checkers and computation statements to ensure quality and consistent data. Once the data were obtained, QPL software exported the data into the project database in a format compatible with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The online survey data were imported into the project database in SPSS using interfacing software as part of the online survey program. After the surveys were obtained by the interviewers, the Survey Center Managers and/or statisticians checked each completed survey to ensure clarity and completeness. Responsive Management obtained a total of,96 completed surveys with Florida residents and,890 completed surveys with Florida tourists (of the latter,,06 had participated in outdoor recreation and received the full survey).

14 Responsive Management DATA ANALYSIS The analysis of data was performed using SPSS as well as proprietary software developed by Responsive Management. The results of the survey of residents were weighted by age and gender so that the sample was representative of all Florida residents as a whole. The data analysis of the resident survey data included a crosstabulation into the eight region previously mentioned. These graphs are shown after each graph of the overall results. Additionally, the data analysis of the residents results included a look at trends in participation in the various activities between 00 (based on a previous survey) and 0. On questions that asked respondents to provide a number (e.g., number of days of participation), the graph shows ranges of numbers rather than the precise numbers. Nonetheless, in the surveys each respondent provided a precise number, and the dataset includes this precise number, even if the graph only shows ranges of numbers. Note that the calculation of means and medians used the precise numbers that the respondents provided. NONPARAMETRIC ANALYSIS For this report, a nonparametric analysis examined how the various responses to questions on the resident survey related to participatory and demographic characteristics and opinions. Responses for selected questions were tested by means of z-scores for relationships to various characteristics (i.e., the characteristics as revealed by responses to other questions, including a series of demographic questions). A positive z-score means that the response and characteristic are positively related; a negative z-score means that the response and characteristic are negatively related. The z-score indicates the strength of the relationship between the characteristic and the response to the question. Those z-scores that have an absolute value of.0 or greater indicate a relationship that is so strong that it would happen by chance only out of,000 times (p < 0.00). Those z-scores that have an absolute value of.58 to.9 indicate a relationship that is so strong that it would happen by chance only out of 00 times (p < 0.0). Finally, those z-scores that have an absolute value of.96 to.57 indicate a relationship that is so strong that it would happen by chance only 5 out of 00 times (p < 0.05).

15 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 5 The z-scores were calculated as shown in the formula below. z = ( p p ) p( p) + n n where: n represents the number of observations in Group. n represents the number of observations in Group. p = a/(a + b) = a/n and represents the proportion of observations in Group that falls in Cell a. It is employed to estimate the population proportion Π (% of Group who had specific characteristic). p = c/(c + d) = c/n and represents the proportion of observations in Group that falls in Cell c. It is employed to estimate the population proportion Π (% of Group who had specific characteristic). p = (a + c)/(n + n ) = (a + c)/n and is a pooled estimate of the proportion of respondents who had specific characteristic in the underlying population. (Equation from Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures, nd Edition by David J. Sheskin. 000, Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL.) The variables that were run in the nonparametric analysis of both the resident and tourist survey data are grouped into eight categories, as shown in the tabulation below. On the following pages are second and third tabulations that show all the variables that were run in the resident survey and in the tourist survey. Note that a few of the activities had participation rates that were too low to be included in the nonparametric analysis. Z-Score Variable Categories. Importance of Outdoor Recreation. Participation.

Demographic Characteristics: Lives in New England or the Mid-Atlantic Region (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV, VA). 8. Demographic Characteristics: Lives in the South (NC, TN, SC, GA, AL, MS, AR, LA). 8. Demographic Characteristics: Lives elsewhere in the East other than New England/Mid-Atlantic or South (OH, MI, WI, MN, IN, IL, IA, KY, MO). 8. Demographic Characteristics: Lives in the West. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Considers place of residence to be a large city/urban area or a suburban area. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Considers place of residence to be a small city/town or a rural area. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Has children 7 or younger living in household. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Does not have children 7 or younger living in household. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Has a bachelor s degree (with or without a higher degree). 8. Demographic Characteristics: Does not have a bachelor s degree. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Considers ethnicity to be white. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Considers ethnicity to be non-white. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Is the median age or younger. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Is older than the median age. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Is male. 8. Demographic Characteristics: Is female. The z-score analysis always looks at two groups: those with the characteristic compared to those without the characteristic. As an example, when the analysis is run on gender, it looks at males versus females. When the analysis is run on region, it looks at, for instance, those who live in the Northwest Region versus those who do not live in the Northwest Region (i.e., collectively those who live in any other region). It then does a like analysis on those who live in the North Central Region versus those who do not live in the North Central Region. INTERPRETING THE NONPARAMETRIC ANALYSIS RESULTS When examining the correlations that are found in the z-score analysis, it is important to keep several points in mind. Most importantly, a correlation means simply that a response to a particular question is correlated to giving another response. For instance, among residents, having children in the household is correlated with being the median age or younger (p < 0.00). This simply means that those residents who have children are more likely to be the median age or

20 0 Responsive Management younger than are residents who do not have children in their household. This does not mean that all residents with children in their household are the median age or younger, as some younger residents obviously do not have children in their household. Likewise, some older residents do have children in their household. The finding simply means that residents with children are more likely to be the median age or younger than are those residents without children. Secondly, a finding that a characteristic is correlated to another response does not mean that a majority of those with that characteristic give that particular response; it simply means that those with that characteristic are more likely to give the particular response than are those without that characteristic (even in a situation where less than a majority of both groups give the particular response). For instance, having children in the household is correlated with participation in soccer among residents. However, less than a majority of residents who have children in their household participated in soccer. Indeed, less than a majority of those with children as well as those without children in their household participated in soccer. The finding, therefore, simply means that residents with children are more likely, compared to residents without children, to have participated in soccer. It would be incorrect to say, Most residents with children in their household participate in soccer, as that is not what the z-score analysis found. The nonparametric analysis results are tabulated following the graph of each pertinent question. The tabulation has the variables grouped into the eight overall categories. Within each category, the variables are ranked according to the strength of the correlation. SAMPLING ERROR Throughout this preliminary report, findings of the telephone survey of residents are reported at a 95% confidence interval (or higher). For the entire sample of Florida residents, the sampling error is at most plus or minus.56 percentage points. Sampling error was calculated using the formula described on the next page, with a sample size of,96 and a population size of,97,587 Florida residents ages 8 and older. Because the population of tourists to Florida who could potentially qualify for the survey cannot be precisely determined, the sampling error could not be calculated for the tourist survey.

21 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Sampling Error Equation B = (.5) Np.5 Ns Np (.96) Where: B = maximum sampling error (as decimal) N P = population size (i.e., total number who could be surveyed) N S = sample size (i.e., total number of respondents surveyed) Derived from formula: p. 06 in Dillman, D. A Mail and Internet Surveys. John Wiley & Sons, NY. Note: This is a simplified version of the formula that calculates the maximum sampling error using a 50:50 split (the most conservative calculation because a 50:50 split would give maximum variation). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESENTATION OF RESULTS In examining the results, it is important to be aware that the questionnaire included several types of questions: Open-ended questions are those in which no answer set is read to the respondents; rather, they can respond with anything that comes to mind from the question. Closed-ended questions have an answer set from which to choose. Some questions allow only a single response, while other questions allow respondents to give more than one response or choose all that apply. Those that allow more than a single response are indicated on the graphs with the label, Multiple Responses Allowed. Many closed-ended questions (but not all) are in a scale, such as excellent-good-fairpoor. Some graphs show an average, either the mean or median (or both). The mean is simply the sum of all numbers divided by the number of respondents. Because outliers (extremely high or low numbers relative to most of the other responses) may skew the mean, the median may be shown. The median is the number at which half the sample is above and the other half is below. In other words, a median of 0 days means that half the sample gave an answer of more than 0 days and the other half gave an answer of less than 0 days. Most graphs show results rounded to the nearest integer; however, all data are stored in decimal format, and all calculations are performed on unrounded numbers. For this reason, some results may not sum to exactly 00% because of this rounding on the graphs. Additionally, rounding may cause apparent discrepancies of percentage point between the graphs and the reported results of combined responses (e.g., when strongly support and moderately support are summed to determine the total percentage in support).

22 Responsive Management IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION AND MOTIVATIONS FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUTDOOR RECREATION Nearly all Florida residents (96%) say that outdoor recreation is important to them; this includes 7% who think it is very important and % who think it is somewhat important. The results are similar among tourists: 98% say outdoor recreation is important to them personally (65% saying very important and % saying somewhat important). The survey asked how important or unimportant three factors are for Florida residents when they participate in outdoor recreation in Florida. At the top is spending time with family and friends (99% think this is important, including 9% who think it is very important) and being active and healthy (98% overall; 87% saying very important). The last, but still considered important, is being close to nature (9% overall; 6% saying very important). The tourist survey results mirror the above results (although relative to residents, tourists play a little less importance on being close to nature): at the top is spending time with family and friends (96% overall; 85% saying very important). Next is being active and healthy (9% overall; 65% saying very important), followed by being close to nature (8% overall; 5% saying very important). In an open-ended question (meaning that no answer set was included; respondents could answer with anything that came to mind), Florida residents were asked to name the most important reasons that they participate in outdoor recreation in Florida. The top answers are for their health/physical fitness (%), to be with family and friends (9%), for relaxation / for fun / enjoyment (6%), to be outdoors / to be close to nature (%), and to enjoy the scenery (8%). No other answer had more than 0%; the full listing is shown in the graph. Among tourists, the top reason for participating in outdoor recreation in Florida is for relaxation/fun/enjoyment (%), to be with family and friends (%), because Florida has good recreation opportunities (6%), and to be outdoors/close to nature (%). Note that % mentioned the beach (typically in addition to another answer, such as for fun) and % mentioned Disney.

23 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan The tourist survey asked respondents to name the main reasons that they visited Florida. Most tourists came simply to have fun (6%); nonetheless, % came to visit family and/or friends, 6% came for specific outdoor recreation activities, and 6% came because of work (although they still may have participated in recreation while in Florida for work).

57 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 7 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES AND PLANNED PARTICIPATION The resident survey asked each respondent whether he or she participated in each of 6 activities in Florida in the past months. Three tiers emerge. At the top, all with at least a third of Florida residents engaging in the activity are saltwater beach activities (6%), wildlife viewing trips (9%), bicycling (%), picnicking (0%), visiting historic or archeological sites (9%), and saltwater fishing (8%). (Note that participation in any fishing, either freshwater or saltwater, is at 6%, which ranks it third.) The middle tier, with at least a quarter participating in each activity (but less than a third) includes swimming in an outdoor pool (9%), freshwater fishing (8%), canoeing or kayaking (6%), and hiking (6%). The remainder of the activities have less than a quarter participating in them. The graph shows the full listing. Additional graphs show trends in participation. Most activities have participation rates in 0 that are consistent with 00 rates, with three exceptions, all with a difference of approximately 0 percentage points or more: canoeing/kayaking participation rose from % to 6%; nature study participation fell from 7% to 8%; and the rate of visiting historic or archeological sites fell from 9% to 9%. Tabulations show the percentage participating in each activity in 00 and in 0, as well as a column that shows the percentage point difference between the two study years and whether the difference is statistically significant. Note that most differences were statistically significant, even some that fell below the somewhat arbitrary threshold of 0 percentage points discussed above. One tabulation shows the activities in alphabetical order; the second tabulation shows the activities ranked from greatest increase to greatest decrease. While this research did not directly study cause and effect regarding changes in participation, it is worth noting that recent sharp rises in gasoline prices may have contributed to a decrease in many tourist activities, such as visiting historic and archeological sites. There was a rise in saltwater beach activities of nearly 6 percentage points; this rise comes despite the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that affected some Florida beaches in the past years.

58 8 Responsive Management It is worth comparing these trends in Florida with national trends in participation in outdoor recreation. The Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) published a study on participation titled 00 SGMA Sports & Fitness Participation Topline Report. This study found increases over the past decade in the numbers of people who participated in many activities related to fitness (running/jogging, whose number of participants increased 9.8% from 000 to 009; walking for fitness, +.0%, and trail running, +6.0%), but decreases in many other outdoor recreation activities, such as golf, horseback riding, inline skating, baseball, outdoor basketball, and softball. Therefore, the decreases in participation that occurred in most outdoor activities discussed in the survey appear to be commensurate with trends in the nation as a whole. The recent rise in saltwater fishing may have been caused, in part, by a recent campaign by Florida state agencies (including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) to increase saltwater fishing participation in Florida. This rise runs counter to a decrease in saltwater fishing overall in the U.S. that the SGMA found in its recent report. Furthermore, this increase in saltwater fishing participation occurred against the backdrop of a general decrease in fishing activities in the U.S. The National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation found that. million people fished in 00, with the number dropping to 0.0 million in 006. The tourist survey found similar results: saltwater beach activities and wildlife viewing were prominent, along with picnicking, swimming in public outdoor pools, visiting historic or archeological sites, hiking, and saltwater fishing. Note that bicycling appears to be less important among tourists than among residents: bicycling is in the top tier among residents, while it falls to the middle among tourists. Otherwise, the top activities among the two groups are similar. Residents who went fishing were asked about their fishing locations in general, and fishing from a boat predominated. Among saltwater anglers, 70% fished from a boat, % fished from a pier/jetty/catwalk, and 7% fished saltwater from the shore (note that some respondents fished from more than one location). Among tourists, 7% fished from a boat, 5% from a pier/jetty/catwalk, and 8% saltwater fished from the shore. Among freshwater anglers, boats were less dominant, but still a majority used one: 57% of freshwater anglers fished from a boat, 50% fished from the shore, and 5% fished

59 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 9 from a pier/jetty/catwalk. Among tourists, 57% fished from a boat, 9% freshwater fished from the shore, and 9% fished from a pier/jetty/catwalk. The surveys asked about boat ramp use: A quarter of Florida residents (5%) used a saltwater boat ramp in Florida in the past months in Florida. Among tourists, the rate of use was 7%. A slightly lower percentage of residents (9%) used a freshwater boat ramp in Florida in the past months. Among tourists, the rate of use was %. In sum, % of residents used any boat ramp in Florida, a freshwater and/or saltwater boat ramp; 8% of tourists used any boat ramp. Respondents who had bicycled were asked whether they used paved roads and trails or unpaved roads and trails (and some used both): 9% used paved roads and trails, while 6% used unpaved roads and trails. The results among tourists are quite similar: 90% used paved roads or trails, and 9% unpaved roads and trails. The survey asked Florida residents to indicate whether they expect to personally participate in outdoor recreation activities more, about the same amount, or less in the next months compared to the past months. While the majority of residents said about the same (55%), the percentage who said more (6%) far exceeds the percentage who said less (7%). The tourist survey asked the same question, with similar results: the majority (58%) said about the same, and the percentage saying more (%) exceeded the percentage saying less (5%). The tourist survey asked about the likelihood that tourists would revisit Florida again in the next months. Among this group, 75% indicated being very likely to do so.

145 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 5 NUMBER OF DAYS OF PARTICIPATION AMONG RESIDENTS The survey looked at days of participation in the various activities. In summary, the activities with the most highly avid participants among residents, in general, are bicycling, basketball, baseball/softball, soccer, golfing, tennis, football, saltwater beach activities, off-road vehicle driving, swimming in outdoor pools, and hunting. This list was derived from looking at both the mean and median days of participation among residents, as discussed below. The first graph shows the median days of participation among residents. The top activities when ranked by the median days of participation are bicycling, basketball, baseball/softball, soccer, golfing, tennis, football, saltwater beach activities, off-road vehicle driving, swimming in outdoor pools, and hunting all of these activities have a median of a week (7 days) or more. The next graph shows the mean days of participation among residents. The list of the activities with the highest means is identical to the list of high medians (all have means of more than 0 days) with two exceptions hunting s mean is 6. days, dropping it out of the top tier, although its rank does not greatly change; horseback riding s rank, on the other hand, changes greatly, jumping into the top tier when ranked by the mean (its mean is 9.), and the fact that it has a high mean but not a commensurately high median suggests that it is an activity in which there are a few highly avid participants and a large number of participants who engage in the activity only a few days. This dichotomy in horseback riding participants is illustrated by a third graph in this series, which shows both the mean and median. o The full results are tabulated, as well, following the graphs of the means and medians. o Finally, graphs of the results for each activity are presented in alphabetical order by activity.

216 06 Responsive Management OUTDOOR RECREATION LOCATIONS The majority of Florida residents travel less than 0 miles to participate in outdoor recreation. The mean number of miles is.7 miles; the median is 0 miles. For each of the activities, respondents were asked to name up to five counties in which they most commonly engaged in the activity. Graphs show the results for each activity with the counties ranked in order from highest percentage to lowest. Because it was thought that many tourists might not know the county that they visited but could name a nearby city, the locational data was gathered on the nearest town or city rather than by county in the tourist survey. For each activity, a graph shows the percentages of participants who did the activity in the particular area. Note that respondents could indicate participating in more than one area. The areas are as follows: Pensacola Area (Gulf Breeze, about as far east as Fort Walton Beach) Panama City Area (Grayton Beach east to Cape San Blas) Tallahassee Area (including Apalachicola) Gulf Coast between Tallahassee and Homosassa Central FL / Gainesville / Ocala Area North Central FL (Okefenokee Swamp Area) Jacksonville Area (south to St. Augustine and Fort Matanzas) Orlando Area (including Disney / Kissimmee) Daytona Beach Area (from Palm Coast in the north to about as far south as New Smyrna Beach) Melbourne / Cape Canaveral Area (Titusville in the north south to Vero Beach) South Central Atlantic Coast (Ft. Pierce, Port St. Lucie, Palm Beach, about as far south as Lake Worth) South Central FL (including Lake Okeechobee, Lake Placid, Sebring) Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater / Lakeland / Sarasota Area (north to Homosassa) Cape Coral / Ft. Myers Area (from North Port to as far south as Naples and Marco Island) Miami Area (including Ft. Lauderdale, Everglades and Keys) The regions used in the crosstabulations in the resident survey could not be used for this locational breakdown because the Tallahassee area and the Tampa Bay area both straddle borders between two regions.

299 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 89 OPINIONS ON OUTDOOR RECREATION OFFERINGS IN FLORIDA The overwhelming majority of Florida residents (9%) support having Florida maintain its current levels of outdoor recreation services and opportunities, with most of that support being strong support (70%). Among tourists, a very large majority support maintaining the current levels of outdoor recreation services and opportunities in Florida: 9% support overall, including 68% who strongly support. When asked if there are any other outdoor recreation facilities that they would like to see built or provided in their county, 0% of Florida residents say that there are. The top facilities desired are community parks, biking paths, playgrounds for children, and outdoor public swimming pools. The list is quite extensive and is, therefore, shown on two graphs. The second of those graphs shows the results to one decimal place; this is not to imply that the survey data are that precise but rather so that the items low down on the list are not lost (as they would otherwise round to 0 at the integer level). o Tourists were also asked these questions: % indicated that they would like to see some sort of outdoor recreation facilities built or provided in the areas in Florida that they visited. The activities or facilities that they named are then shown.

317 Outdoor Recreation in Florida: Survey for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 07 DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AMONG RESIDENTS The gender split in the resident survey is 8% male and 5% female. The ages of Florida residents 8 years old and older are shown; the median age of respondents is 8 years (note that this median is of those at least 8 years old; it is not the median of the entire population, but the survey did not include those 7 years old and younger). Although the majority of Florida adult residents are white (7%), there are substantial percentages of black/african-american (%) and Hispanic/Latino (%) residents. Education levels of Florida residents are shown. In sum, 7% have taken some college coursework, with or without a degree, and 9% have a bachelor s degree, with or without a higher degree. A graph shows household incomes among residents. (The nonparametric analysis was not run on income because of the relatively high percentage who refused to answer, which might skew the results.) The majority of residents did not have children living in their household. Those who had children most commonly had only one or two children. The breakdown of residents by type of residential area is shown. Just under half live in a large city/urban area or a suburban area. Also included are tabulations of the z-scores for the regions, which were based on the county of residence. Because the survey was sampled regionally and then weighted by county for statewide results, the graph of the weighted percentages of respondents from each county is not shown.
