Assessing the Economic Benefits of Reductions in Marine Debris: a Pilot Study of Beach Recreation in Orange County, California
FINAL REPORT Assessing the Economic Benefits of Reductions in Marine Debris: A Pilot Study of Beach Recreation in Orange County, California FINAL | June 15, 2014 prepared for: Marine Debris Division National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prepared by: Chris Leggett, Nora Scherer, Mark Curry and Ryan Bailey Industrial Economics, Incorporated 2067 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02140 And Timothy Haab Ohio State University Executive Summary Marine debris has many impacts on the ocean, wildlife, and coastal communities. In order to better understand the economic impacts of marine debris on coastal communities, the NOAA Marine Debris Program and Industrial Economics, Inc. designed a study that examines how marine debris influences people’s decisions to go to the beach and what it may cost them. Prior to this study, no work had directly assessed the welfare losses imposed by marine debris on citizens who regularly use beaches for recreation. This study aimed to fill that gap in knowledge. The study showed that marine debris has a considerable economic impact on Orange County, California residents. We found that: ● Residents are concerned about marine debris, and it significantly influences their decisions to go to the beach. They will likely avoid littered beaches and spend additional time and money getting to a cleaner beach or pursuing other activities. ● Avoiding littered beaches costs local residents millions of dollars each year. ● Reducing marine debris on beaches can prevent financial loss and provide economic benefits to residents. Marine debris is preventable, and the benefits associated with preventing it appear to be quite large. For example, the study found that reducing marine debris by 50 percent at beaches in Orange County could generate $67 million in benefits to Orange County residents for a threemonth period. -
