Private and Social Values of Wetlands Research Reports
The Private and Social Values of wetlands project is funded by Environment
Australia and the Land and Water Resources Research and Development
Corporation as part of the National Wetlands Research and Development
Program. The research is led by Prof Bennett. Stuart Whitten is the
Research Officer appointed to the project. The focus of the project is the
development of a process that enables the determination of future outcomes
for wetlands that are privately owned and the design of institutional
structures that will ensure the those outcomes are achieved. This
methodology encompasses the use of bio-economic modelling, cost benefit
analysis and non-market valuation techniques. Two case study sites feature
in the research - the Upper South East of South Australia and the
Murrumbidgee Floodplain between Wagga Wagga and Hay in New South Wales.
Because these reports present the results of work in progress, they should
not be reproduced in part or in whole without the authorisation of the
Research Project Leader, Professor Jeff Bennett.
