January 29, 2010 "The Coastal and Ocean Economies – A National, State and Local Analysis" With Judith Kildow, Ph.D., principal investigator with the National Ocean Economics Program California's ocean economy directly provided approximately 408,000 jobs and more than $11.4 billion in wages and salaries in 2000, and when multiplier effects are included, those numbers increase to 700,000 jobs and more than $24 billion in wages and salaries. The state's coastal economy is more than $1 trillion. As Dr. Kildow's report underscores, "The natural resources of the coast and coastal ocean are a solid foundation for California's economy and these resources must be sustained to maintain the strength in the six sectors evaluated within the Ocean Economy and the much larger Coastal Economy."
