“…This amount represents the lost economic value to boaters if they were to lose access to the site for one choice occasion, yet retain access to the other boat ramps in Lee County. The value is in the range of others reported in the literature but is higher than values reported for access to Hawaii ramps [38]. It is important to note that the values reported in Table 3 are values that accrue to all ramp boating trips made to Lee County (i.e., the scope of choices in the model), and are not the values for a specific visitor that has visited a ramp for which access is lost, which are commonly reported in the literature.…”

Ecosystem service flows may change or disappear temporarily or permanently as a result of environmental changes or ecological disturbances. In coastal areas, ecological disturbances caused by toxin-producing harmful algae blooms can impact flows of ecosystem services, particularly provisioning (e.g., seafood harvesting) and cultural services (e.g., recreation). This study uses a random utility model of recreational boating choices to simulate changes in the value of cultural ecosystem services provided by recreation in coastal ecosystems resulting from prolonged ecological disturbances caused by harmful algae blooms. The empirical application relies on observed trips to 35 alternative boat access ramps in Lee County, an important marine access destination in southwest Florida. Results indicate that reduced boating access from harmful algae blooms may have resulted in losses of $3 million for the 2018 blooms, which lasted from the end of June to the end of September.

“…Researchers have conditioned the location choice on the port from which the vessel departs(Haab et al, 2008). The choice departure and landing port is likely part of a dynamic optimization problem that is a topic of future research.12 If the mix of stocks is distributed homogeneously across the fishing ground, and gear is less than fully selective, the set of fishable locations with xi,st = 0 and xj,st > 0, j = i will be empty and c(h 0 , w, xst) = ∞.…”

This article examines the dilemma of a large exporting Country for an agricultural product which has to determine whether to approve or not the products of the biotechnology with or without a labeling regime. In doing so this paper makes two points. First the approval decision of the products of the biotechnology is specific to the labeling regime. While the products of the GM technology should be approved under a labeling regime, in absence of labeling requirements they should not be authorized. Second the incapacity to protect the innovator rents can prevent the approval of the products of the biotechnology. 1 See Sheldon (2004) for a comprehensive review of the policy debate between the EU and the US on the regulation of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). On the labeling of GM products see also Caswell (1998),

In a globalized world, the world trade fleet plays a pivotal role in limiting transport costs. But, the management of obsolete ships is an acute problem, with most Ship Recycling Facilities (SRF) situated in developing countries. They are renowned for their controversial work and safety conditions and their environmental impact. Paradoxically, dismantlement is paid for by the shipowners in accordance with international conventions therefore it is more profitable for them to sell off ships destined for scrapping. Scuttling, the alternative to scrapping, is assessed in the present review to compare the cost/benefit ratios of the two approaches. Although scrapping provides employment and raw materials - but with environmental, health and safety costs - scuttling provides fisheries and diving tourism opportunities but needs appropriate management to avoid organic and metal pollution, introduction of invasive species and exacerbation of coastal erosion. It is also limited by appropriate bottom depth, ship type and number. The present review inventories the environmental, health, safety, economic, and forensic aspects of each alternative.
