Abstract

Wetlands are highly productive, biologically rich and providing many ecological services, therefore, they are important to both biodiversity and economy. The science of calculating economic values for wetlands is relatively new and methods are continually being refined and enhanced. Putting value on natural services such as water filtration and erosion control is a much newer concept than valuing traditional consumptive uses such as fishing or hunting. It is becoming clear, however, that many natural areas, including wetlands, have substantial economic values.
