American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975, vol. 57, issue 1, 40-45

Abstract: The value of wildlife, visual-cultural benefits, water supply, and flood control benefits of wetlands (varied by benefit productivity levels) are determined with help from appropriate scientists. Comparison of benefit value with opportunity cost of wetland preservation is demonstrated as the basis for decisions concerning permits for wetland alteration.
