Economics Of Environmental Damage In Coastal Development, Saujanya Sinha Jan 1997

Economics Of Environmental Damage In Coastal Development, Saujanya Sinha

World Maritime University Dissertations

In choosing the resources, human-beings leave a mark on the environment - depleting it, degrading it and, sometimes, destroying it. The destruction is manifest in the tropical coastal waters where some of the world’s richest ecosystems, characterised by extensive coral reefs and dense mangrove forests, exist. Large-scale destruction of valuable resources can cause serious degradation of the environment, thus affecting the economic life of coastal habitants. In economic terms then, is the ‘supply’ of coastal resources infinitely elastic? If not, what is the cost of achieving such elasticity, …
