Lapis Sand Dollars
Lapis Sand Dollars An Economic Analysis of Non-Market Impacts of Lapis Sand Mine in Southern Monterey Bay Prepared by Alyssum Pohl and Lisa Johnston August 2012 Lapis Sand Dollars. Pohl and JohnstonPohl 1 Executive Summary The unique dunes and beaches of southern Monterey Bay, California are threatened by an intensified rate of coastal erosion caused by the Lapis Lustre sand mine in the city of Marina. This mine excavates high quality sand sold by the largest international cement and aggregate corporation, Cemex. Like many extractive industries, Lapis’ sand production results in negative externalities for the environment. This study quantifies some of these externalities by examining non-market costs including seawall construction and lost recreational value of beach due to Lapis. The annual cost of maintaining the existing seawalls at Ocean Harbor House and Monterey Beach Resort is $133,975. Any additional seawalls could increase this number to more than $256,562 annually. In addition, the cost of the recreational value of the beach area lost due to sand mining is currently $1,104,804 annually, and may rise to $1,122,970 annually in the future. These findings suggest that the non-market costs of the mine are significant, and would be even greater if a more diverse range of non-market costs were considered. This analysis fills a gap in information that should be considered in current and future decision-making regarding coastal resource use in Monterey County. Introduction The dune-covered coastline of Monterey Bay is a well-known landmark of the central California coast. The bay is characterized as a sandy, erosive shoreline backed by extensive dunes rising up to 46 meters (Thornton et al, 2006). -
