  • Estimation of the Economic Importance of Beaches in Sydney, Australia, and Implications for Management
    Estimation of the economic importance of beaches in Sydney, Australia, and implications for management David Anning School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of New South Wales Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the award of the degree Doctorate of Philosophy March, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Anning First name: David Other name/s: Bruce Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Estimation of the economic importance of beaches in Sydney, Australia, and implications for management Abstract This thesis sought to estimate the economic value of selected Sydney beaches, in order to provide the necessary information to allow local and State government agencies to identify the most appropriate management response to projected climate change impacts. Three case-study sites (Collaroy-Narrabeen, Manly Ocean Beach, and a combined site in the Hawkesbury River that included the Brooklyn Baths and Dangar Island) were selected via a weighted-criteria method using an expert panel. Valuation methods were selected in response to the key coastal management challenges in the region, vulnerability to inundation and shoreline recession. A truncated negative binomial travel cost model identified consumer surplus values of between AUD$2.72 and $20.63 for a beach day, depending on the site under investigation and the specification of the cost parameter. These are similar to those in the published literature. Aggregate values are derived only for comparison with costs of management options, due to concerns about the quality of visitation information.
