The Biodiversity Benefits of Coral Reef Ecosystems: Values and Markets |
| Description |
|
This 2001 OECD paper gives background to economic valuation (Total Economic Value, Cost Benefit Analysis) and market creation as well as three case studies from Indonesia. These case studies illustrate: (i) the creation of a market for sustainably caught/reared reef fish as an alternative to cyanide fishing; (ii) the economic valuation of marine protected areas; and (iii) the economic valuation of a threat to coral reefs (coral mining). |
