“…In the context of communicating climate change to the public, it is increasingly argued that using the language of explicit risk could be a more sophisticated, suitable and helpful lens in which to analyze the problem and move the public debate towards timely decisionmaking and action rather than prolonged uncertainty [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. In the case of the print media on the dredge spoil issue for the five critical discourse moment months (Jan 13, Jul 13, Dec 13, Jan 14 and Feb 14) there was some reporting in the Environmental and Socio-economic Disaster themes of figures comparing the economic contributions of the tourism, fishing (in the GBR) and mining industries to the Queensland and Australian economy.…”

“…Each year the GBR contributes over $5.7 AUD billion and employs close to 70,000 full-time workers to the Australian economy, mainly through tourism activity [26]. A more recent estimate of the collective monetary value of ecosystem services provided by the GBR puts this figure in the range of $15-20 billion AUD per year [27]. The GBR was declared a World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) in 1981 because of its 'outstanding universal value' and unique biological diversity.…”

Many arable land areas have been converted to residential or business uses by Taiwan government authorities, because the low farmland value is associated with the low value of agricultural products. However, agriculture is multifunctional. This study investigates farmland value through Total Economic Value (TEV) for Tianwei Township, which is Taiwan's largest floral farmland region. Direct use value measures the floral products' output value and recreational benefit. Recreational benefit from visitors' flower sightseeing was measured by the travel cost method (TCM). Option value and non-use value, including bequest value and existence value, measure the residents' willingness to pay through the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM). The results show that the total floral products' output is NT$1.441 billion in 2007, recreational benefit is roughly NT$17.757 billion. The intangible value of option value and non-use values are approximately between NT$5 million to 15 million. Therefore, ignoring various values of farmland might lead to an underestimation of farmland value.

“…The subjective opinion should also be taken into account when using nonmarket methods of valuation [23]. The Federal agencies perform different actions having an environmental impact, without informing the society on the value of the particular ecosystem.…”

Abstract-The paper considers natural capital accounting and valuation as crucial factors for management decision-making, which is aimed at economic diversification and sustainable development and ensures efficient exploration, consumption, and replenishment of natural resources. Tomsk Oblast serves as an example for implementing natural capital and ecosystem service valuation into management decision making. The authors have determined the possibility and estimated readiness of local authorities to account economic benefits and losses in ecosystem management. The materials used in the study are data of Russian state statistics, strategic plans and regulations of Tomsk Oblast, the departmental information, and the outcomes of previous research on the natural capital valuation in Tomsk Oblast. The authors give reasons for institutional changes necessary to account and valuate all functions of the natural capital and ecosystem when making management decisions. This means that there should be a system of economic value monitoring for natural resource management, which implies economic-ecological accounting and is represented as a complex of integrated statistical factors giving natural capital information. The authors also suggest the mechanism to design information and methodological basis for natural capital economic valuation. The new information basis integrated into the regional government system will provide data on costs and benefits in natural resource management and ensure interaction between the authorities, municipal organizations, companies, and public.
