Costs of the final proposal for seabed protection on the Frisian Front and Central Oyster Grounds for the Dutch fishing sector

Abstract

Van Oostenbrugge, Hans, Mike Turenhout and Katell Hamon, 2016 . Costs of the final proposal for seabed protection on the Frisian Front and Central Oyster Grounds for the Dutch fishing sector;Addendum to LEI report 2015-145. Wageningen, Wageningen Economic Research, Memorandum 2016 This memorandum provides an estimation of the costs for closures for the protection of the benthic ecosystem on the Frisian Front and the Central Oyster Grounds for the Dutch fishing sector in addition to the cost-benefit analysis carried out in Van Oostenbrugge et al. (2015). The costs of the closures vary between 1.8 and 5.7m euros, depending on the assumptions chosen for external developments (PEI scenarios) and the effects of displacement (displacement scenarios).

(average 2008-2014) and the costs of closures in case of 4 Policy Innovation and Economics scenarios (PEI scenario 0-3) and 3 Displacement scenario (A-C). NPV, Net Present Value (future discounted costs over 30-year period); GVA, Gross Value AddedType of costs/benefits Depending on the assumptions taken, the total costs for the Dutch fishing sector, measured as the negative effect on net present value of the gross value added, range from 0 to 5.7m euros ( ). The main reason for this is the fact that a large part of the extra 800 km 2 is situated south of the Frisian front in an area with low fishing intensity. S.3 MethodThis memorandum is a partial extension of the complete cost-benefit analysis carried out by  Estimations of the economic value of the areas were made using four Policy, Economy and Innovation scenarios (PEI scenarios) which combined expected developments on fish stocks, fish prices, fuel prices, technical developments, management measures and other area closures. Costs of closing the areas were assessed using three displacement scenarios. These were based on scientific publications (scenario A), expert knowledge from the fishing sector (scenario B) and the assumption that the sector would be able to reallocate their activities without any costs (scenario C).

“…Compared to previous calls, the pre-processing steps have been modified. Given that most countries now have their own combined datasets of logbook and VMS data, it is believed that the national labs each have the best knowledge to perform the following steps as described in Hintzen et al (2013) and used in Hamon et al (2013), Oostenbrugge et al (2013), Oostenbrugge and Hamon et al (2014), , Jongbloed et al (2019), Hamon et al (2020) and Roskam et al (2021):…”
