Marine protected areas: emerging economics

Robert Farrow

Marine Policy, 1996, vol. 20, issue 6, 439-446

Abstract: Environmental economics provides one perspective on managing multiple and alternative uses of marine areas. Recent work is identified to suggest substantive research that can better focus benefit-cost analyses on issues specific to marine protected areas. Issues discussed include: the conditions for limited use of an area, determinants of the size of a protected area including species diversity, whether access restrictions can be politically supportable, the role of links between habitat types, and the importance of passive use value.
