“…Table 1 summarizes the main characteristics of various CV studies. We note that Silberman and Klock (1988) and Silberman et al (1992) focus on the existence value of a beach, and that the results by Silberman et al (1992) show that those who would visit the beach state on average a higher WTP than those who would not visit it. Goodman et al (1996) evaluate conservation benefits in general, while Spash et al (2000) and Subade (2005) evaluate non-use values.…”

In accordance with integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), private stakeholders could be asked to pay for the benefits from beach conservation projects. Since a private contribution is measured by the amount of other goods a person is willing to give up for beach quality, it can be solicited in monetary terms or, when possible, in other forms, such as specific works. In this paper, by analysing the results of two surveys in Italy concerning stakeholders' perceptions of ICZM and their willingness to pay for these benefits, suggestions for beach management are provided to policymakers. One survey focuses on beach visitors who are asked to pay in monetary terms, while the other focuses on sunbathing establishment managers, who are asked to pay not only in monetary terms but also through beach works. The results show that the majority of these stakeholders are fully or partially aware of what ICZM is, and are unwilling to pay. However, regression analysis of those willing to pay suggests that promoting an information and education campaign about ICZM may be important if stakeholders' probability of paying is to be increased.Keywords: integrated coastal zone management; contingent valuation method; visitors; sunbathing establishment managers; beach conservationThe authors are most grateful to the referees for their helpful comments and suggestions.

In this section we focus on the recreation benefits of beach nourishment that are enjoyed by non-property owners.…”

In this paper we present results from a study of recreation demand for southern North Carolina beaches. We combine revealed preference and stated preference data in order to estimate the changes in recreation demand that might occur with beach nourishment and parking improvements necessary to satisfy the requirements for US Army Corps of Engineers cost-share. We illustrate the numerous ways that hypothetical bias in contingent behavior data can lead to increases in the estimates of the economic benefits of recreation and recreation quality improvement. Hypothetical bias affects estimates of the number of trips and slope coefficients. Hypothetical bias does not affect elasticity or consumer surplus per trip estimates. When the product of trips and consumer surplus per trip is taken as an estimate of consumer surplus per season, hypothetical bias leads to upwardly biased seasonal consumer surplus estimates. These results suggest that stated preference recreation demand data, in isolation from revealed preference data, may be suitable for estimation of consumer surplus per trip but not consumer surplus per season.

“…Using this approach, modest improvements in beach width in Georgia are valued at $8.87 to $13.00 per household, per trip for current beach users (Landry, Keeler, and Kriesel 2003). In (Silberman and Klock 1988), but this study finds a large impact on anticipated visitation. Focusing only on current users, Silberman and Klock estimate a 65% net increase in visitation across all New Jersey beaches when the northern New Jersey beaches undergo replenishment.…”
