Abstract

This paper presents the first analysis of impacts of COVID-19 on willingness-to-pay for wetland restoration. Two potential effects were identified that may affect willingness-to-pay for wetland restoration and empirically tested using a referendum-style contingent valuation survey that was administered in the midst of the pandemic to measure willingness-to-pay for restoring mangroves and saltmarshes in Tampa Bay, Florida. Results indicate that willingness-to-pay was $2,791 per household during COVID, but it would have been $3,262 if there had not been COVID. These results imply a loss of $3.8 billion in the total value of restoring wetlands in the state of Florida.

COVID-19 大流行对湿地支付意愿的影响：坦帕湾沿海湿地案例研究

本文首次分析了 COVID-19 对湿地恢复支付意愿的影响。本文确定了两种可能影响湿地恢复支付意愿的潜在效应，并使用全民公决式的或然估值调查对其进行了实证检验，该调查是在大流行病期间进行的，旨在衡量佛罗里达州坦帕湾红树林和盐沼恢复的支付意愿。结果表明，在 COVID 期间，每户的支付意愿为 2,791 美元，但如果没有 COVID，支付意愿则为 3,262 美元。这些结果意味着佛罗里达州湿地恢复的总价值损失了 38 亿美元。

期刊介绍： Wetlands is an international journal concerned with all aspects of wetlands biology, ecology, hydrology, water chemistry, soil and sediment characteristics, management, and laws and regulations. The journal is published 6 times per year, with the goal of centralizing the publication of pioneering wetlands work that has otherwise been spread among a myriad of journals. Since wetlands research usually requires an interdisciplinary approach, the journal in not limited to specific disciplines but seeks manuscripts reporting research results from all relevant disciplines. Manuscripts focusing on management topics and regulatory considerations relevant to wetlands are also suitable. Submissions may be in the form of articles or short notes. Timely review articles will also be considered, but the subject and content should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief (NDSU.wetlands.editor@ndsu.edu) prior to submission. All papers published in Wetlands are reviewed by two qualified peers, an Associate Editor, and the Editor-in-Chief prior to acceptance and publication. All papers must present new information, must be factual and original, and must not have been published elsewhere.
