| Abstract | This paper examines the tradeoffs between the production of crops and habitat for juvenile salmon, through flood events, on the Yolo Bypass floodplain. I investigate how changes in the fishery management institution affect the economic returns to fish habitat. To understand how habitat provision affects the economic surplus of the farmers and fishers, I develop a bioeconomic model of Yolo Bypass agriculture, salmon population, and California ocean fishery. The results reveal large total producer surplus gains from improving habitat management and the natural resource management institution. In contrast with previous studies on open access resources, I find that the gains from habitat management exceed those that arise from improving the management institution. These findings have important policy implications because many fisheries are already regulated. |
