Abstract

The negative economic impacts of the prolonged Bonne Carre Spillway opening in 2011 were evaluated using two methods: (i) preliminary and updated assessments method and (ii) economic recovery modeling method. The cumulative foregone landing values of commercial oyster harvesting ranged from $21.8 million to $46.0 million, depending on the method used. The negative output impacts reached $9.6 million in 2011, $19.6 million in 2012, $19.9 million in 2013, and $8.9 million in 2014. Mississippi lost 145–324 jobs per year during the period. Labor income lost ranged from $1.8 million to $8 million per year.
