A STUDY OF RELATIONAL VALUES IN A SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL RIVER SYSTEM: CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FISHING AND HUMAN WELL-BEING
Relational values link people and ecosystems via tangible and intangible relationships to nature as well as the principles, virtues and notions of a good life that may accompany these, and their investigation may reframe discussions about environmental protection. Although examples of relational values provided by river systems may be easily perceived by the general public, such as family bonding or relaxation by fishing and recreation, the social and cultural foundations that shape them in river social-ecological systems remain unclear. We used the Henrys Fork Watershed located in Eastern Idaho, a world renowned fishing destination, as a model river-system to explore the linkages between fishing and relational values. We conducted 282 face-to-face social surveys to explore, a) the social importance of different river-ecosystem services and linkages with human well-being, b) perceived benefits provided by fishing as well as factors impacting fish species, and c) differences among stakeholders. Preliminary results indicate 80.6% of unprompted survey respondents identified a form of cultural ecosystem services; and 29% of those respondents directly identified fishing as a main watershed benefit. This demonstrates the importance of fishing as a cornerstone for shaping cultural identity of this region.
