The “Total Economic Impact” (TEI) is calculated

by multiplying the DOI and an “input-output multiplier” to

reflect the additional benefits that come from secondary

economic activities such as boat building, production of

tin for canning, international transport, and management

services for retail distribution.

Similarly, the “wage impact”

is the product of the DOI and a “wage impact multiplier”.

The estimated TEI of US$ 2.35 billion and wage impact of US$

472 million demonstrate a much larger economic impact

that extends beyond the initial DOI of US$ 602 million and

the 75,000 people employed in BCLME fisheries, mariculture

and recreational fisheries (Figure 11) (see also appendix A).
