    • Assessing public preferences for deep sea ecosystem conservation: a choice experiment in Norway and Scotland 

      Ankamah-Yeboah, Isaac; Armstrong, Claire W.; Hynes, Stephen; Bui, Bich Xuân; Simpson, Katherine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-18)
      ecent events around the world have revealed varying degrees of public support for climate change and environmental regulation. Applying a latent class logit model, this study investigates Norwegian and Scottish public’s economic support for proposed deep sea management policies for novel attributes, identifying the presence of preference heterogeneity. Marine litter and health of fish stocks were ...

    • Have environmental preferences and willingness to pay remained stable before and during the global Covid-19 shock? 

      Hynes, Stephen; Armstrong, Claire W.; Bui, Bich Xuân; Ankamah-Yeboah, Isaac; Tinch, Robert; Ressurreição, Adriana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-07)
      This study tests the stability of environmental preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) values using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) across three countries pre and post the peak of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. A DCE eamining the public’s preferences for alternative environmental management plans on the high seas, in the area of the Flemish Cap, was carried out in Canada, Scotland ...

    • The impact of nature documentaries on public environmental preferences and willingness to pay: Entropy balancing and the Blue Planet II effect 

      Hynes, Stephen; Yeboah, Isaac-Ankamah; O'Neill, Stephen; Needham, Katherine; Bui, Bich Xuan; Armstrong, Claire (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-23)
      In this study, the discrete choice experiment approach was employed in a survey of the Scottish general public to analyze how respondents make tradeoffs between blue growth potential and marine ecosystem service delivery associated with the Mingulay cold water reef complex. Results indicate a higher willingness to pay for management options associated with the highest possible levels of marine litter ...

    • People do care about the deep sea. A comment on Jamieson et al. (2020) 

      Armstrong, Claire W.; Aanesen, Margrethe; Hynes, Stephen; Tinch, Robert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-23)
      In a paper in this journal entitled “Fear and loathing of the deep sea: why don’t people care about the deep sea?”, Jamieson et al. (2020) pose this question and answer it with many interesting perspectives from psychology, ocean literacy and philosophy. However, there is an inherent assumption in the question they ask that people do not care about the deep sea. In order to assess this assumption, ...

    • Prospects for Valuation in Marine Decision Making in Europe 

      Tinch, Rob; Hynes, Stephen; Armstrong, Claire W.; Chen, Wenting (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12)
      There is now high-level recognition that the UN Sustainable Development Goals can only be achieved if the decline of ecosystems and biodiversity can be halted and reversed. This will require effective control of ongoing pressures, meaningful protection and enforcement of protected areas, and significant investments in ecosystem restoration. This paper explores the possible use of economic valuation ...

    • Public Perceptions of Deep-Sea Environment: Evidence from Scotland and Norway 

      Ankamah-Yeboah, Isaac; Xuan, Bui Bich; Hynes, Stephen; Armstrong, Claire W. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-10)
      Knowledge of people's understanding of environmental problems is vital for the effective implementation of the ecosystem approach to marine management. This is especially relevant when conservation goals are aimed at ecosystems in the deep-sea that are remote to the consciousness of most people. This study explores public perceptions of the deep-sea environment among the Scottish and Norwegian public. ...

    • Subjective well-being and stated preferences: Explorations from a choice experiment in Norway 

      Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Hynes, Stephen; Armstrong, Claire W.; Chen, Wenting (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-01)
      Subjective well-being valuation has recently grown in use with applications in the fields of environment, health, and cultural heritage. With this methodology values are based on how non-market goods impact on self-reported measures of well-being such as life satisfaction. Despite the differences in theoretical foundations of subjective well-being and preference-based valuation methods, recent ...

    • Valuing High Seas Ecosystem Conservation 

      Bui, Bich Xuân; Armstrong, Claire W.; Ankamah-Yeboah, Isaac; Hynes, Stephen; Needham, Katherine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-16)
      The high seas provide a variety of ecosystem services that benefit society. There have, however, been few attempts to quantify the human welfare impacts of changes to the delivery of these benefits. We assessed the values of several key ecosystem service benefits derived from protecting ecosystems in the high seas of the Flemish Cap through choice experiments conducted in Canada, Norway, and Scotland. ...

    • Valuing the ecosystem service benefits from kelp forest restoration: A choice experiment from Norway 

      Hynes, Stephen; Chen, Wenting; Vondolia, Godwin Kofi; Armstrong, Claire W.; O'Connor, Eamonn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)
      Habitat loss and degradation are recognised as the most important causes of species decline and extinction in marine ecosystems. It is also widely recognised that a range of restoration actions are now essential to halt further decline. From a policy perspective, demonstration that restoration activity is in the interest of society is an important goal. In this paper, the welfare impacts of restoring ...
