“…Much of the land that will be lost over the next 25 to 50 years is wetlands. A valuable characteristic of wetlands is their ability to slow down or reduce effects of storm surge (see, e.g., Kawabe and Oka, 1996;Tovilla-Hernandez et al, 2001, Johnston, et al 2002Wilson and Farber, undated;Costanza, et al 2008). As such, the storm protection services from coastal land are a predominant ecosystem service with relatively well-defined links to the rest of the economic system.…”

Louisiana has lost approximately 1,880 square miles of land over the past eighty years. Projections suggest that in a future without action, the next fifty years could result in the loss of 1,750 additional square miles of land area. As land loss continues, a large portion of the natural and man-made capital stocks of coastal Louisiana will be at greater risk of damage, either from land loss or from the associated increase in storm damage. We estimate the replacement cost of capital stock directly at risk from land loss ranges from approximately $2

Some of the studies focus on a single fish species such as salmon (Brown et al 1980;Cameron and Huppert 1989;Huppert 1989), striped bass (Cameron and Huppert 1989;Snyder 1983;Huppert 1989), Pacific threadfin (Cantrell et al 2004), or halibut (Carson et al 1987 Carson et al (1987) The values included in the dataset may either reflect a total consumer surplus for recreational fishing in a site or a marginal variation in value due to a change in the quality of the fishing experience.…”

SummaryThe role of economic analysis in guiding the sustainable development of estuarine and coastal ecosystems is investigated based on a comprehensive review of the literature on the valuation of the recreation, cultural and aesthetic services. The implications of the findings for the sustainable management of coral reefs, Marine Protected Areas, and Small Island Developing States are discussed. Finally, the potential of meta-analytical benefit transfer and scaling up of values at various aggregation levels is demonstrated in the context of coastal tourism and recreation in Europe. The results of the study support the conclusion that the non-material values provided by coastal and estuarine ecosystems in terms of recreational, cultural and aesthetic services represent a substantial component of human well-being.

“…However, there seem to be few studies on the economic evaluation of Tokyo bay except Hanayama et al (1985) and Kawabe and Oka (1996). A number of environmental regulations are being implemented to protect Tokyo bay, and a cost-benefit analysis of major proposed regulations and projects was recommended in "The Standard Regarding Administrative Participation" put forward on December 16, 1996.…”

“…Most previous studies analyzed the economic value of the partial (one or two) functions of a coastal waterfront like mangroves, coral reefs, and the improvement or degradation of coastal environments (e.g., Shabman and Batie 1978;Hanayama et al 1985;Breaux et al 1995;Kawabe and Oka 1996;Spurgeon 1999;Ahmed et al 2006), and then summed up those values as the TEV. These functions are closely linked and interrelated each other, so evaluating them as a whole is necessary.…”

Evaluating Economic Value of Coastal Waterfront in Tokyo Bay, Japan with Willingness-to-Accept Measure

The total economic value of a coastal waterfront or coastal zone is important for policymakers and analysts concerned with coastal issues to evaluate policies that affect coastal management. A coastal waterfront as common goods is usually valuated with a measure of willingness to pay (WTP) for the improvement of coastal ecosystem functions from a demand side. However, there is a trend that the landscapes of a coastal waterfront like viewing the sea should be regarded as one of the property rights of coastal residents in Japan. Thus a coastal waterfront is necessarily evaluated with a measure of willingness to accept (WTA) the compensation for the loss of the accessibility to a coastal waterfront from a supply side because a number of empirical literatures show that WTP is usually substantially lower than WTA. This paper elicits the WTA for the loss of accessibility to coastal waterfronts using contingent valuation method provided that the accessibility should be regarded as one part of residents' property rights. The result shows that the WTA in Tokyo bay is 65.3 million yen per household, more than ten times their annual household income. The total economic value of Tokyo bay is estimated as 539 trillion yen, which can be taken into consideration in the coastal risk assessment process to evaluate the efficiency of coastal risk reduction measures.
