Recreational vs Commercial Use

Recreational use refers to activities done for enjoyment or leisure, such as camping, hiking, or boating, often on personal or public land without a focus on profit. Commercial use, however, involves activities intended to generate income, like running a fishing charters, manufacturing products, or operating a business on the land or resources. The key difference lies in the purpose: recreation aims for personal enjoyment, while commercial activities aim for financial gain. Regulations and permissions often differ based on whether the activity is recreational or commercial, with commercial use typically requiring permits or licenses.
