The Seaflwer Biosphere Reserve (SBR) is one of the few places in Colombia with a set of available studies on the economic value of its reef environments. This paper seeks to review the policy applications of these studies, and evaluate the use of benefi transfer (BT) methods to predict value estimates for sites in the SBR where no valuations have been performed. First, the paper provides an analysis and categorization of policy uses of existing results. A set of economic valuation studies were identifid as somewhat inflential in policy applications, because they provided fiancial sustainability tools for marine protected areas. A case study was selected from the pool of inflential studies in order to assess the viability of BT. Second, the viability of using BT for determining recreational values of coral reefs within the SBR was assessed by: i) implementing a demand function transfer between the Johnny Cay Regional Park and the Old Providence and McBean Lagoon National Park; and ii) by estimating a meta-analytic function transfer based on world-wide meta-data on the recreational value of coral reefs. Results suggested a potential for the use of BT to predict recreational values for coral reefs in the SBR. In particular, the metaanalytic results indicated low to moderate transfer errors for the SBR, suggesting the viability of this approach.

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. The Mesoamerican Reef contains the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. However, its health is threatened, so there is a need for a management and sustainable conservation. Key to this is knowing the economic value of the ecosystem. “Mainstreaming the value of natural capital into policy decision-making is vital” The value of environmental and natural resources reflects what society is willing to pay for a good or service or to conserve natural resources. Conventional economic approaches tended to view value only in terms of the willingness to pay for raw materials and physical products generated for human production and consumption (e.g. fish, mining materials, pharmaceutical products, etc.). As recognition of the potential negative impacts of human activity on the environment became more widespread, economists began to understand that people might also be willing to pay for other reasons beyond the own current use of the service (e.g. to protect coral reefs from degradation or to know that coral reefs will remain intact in the future). As a result of this debate, Total Economic Value (TEV) became the most widely used and commonly accepted framework for classifying economic benefits of ecosystems and for trying to integrate them into decision-making. This report estimates the economic value of the following goods and services provided by the MAR's coral reefs: Tourism & Recreation, Fisheries, Shoreline protection. To our knowledge, the inclusion of non-use values in the economic valuation of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System is novel, which makes the study more comprehensive.

Ciletuh Bay has a natural magnificence that attracts local and foreign tourists. Tourist interest was reflected by the many visits demanding the government manage it properly to achieve social, economic, and ecological sustainability. Research on the assessment of cultural ecosystem services in Ciletuh Bay has not been carried out. At the same time, this is necessary for policymakers to maintain sustainable Ciletuh Bay coastal ecotourism. This study aims to estimate the value of cultural ecosystem services in Ciletuh Bay in two ways. The first method is assessing the balance of supply and demand for cultural ecosystem services that adopt the Burkhard Model, namely through individual preferences for the beauty of several types of landscapes in Ciletuh Bay. The second assessment is an economic valuation using the travel cost method (TCM). The results showed that the balance of supply and demand for cultural ecosystem services in Ciletuh Bay contained several types of landscapes in unstable conditions. The economic value of Ciletuh Bay coastal ecotourism is IDR 862,640,124,311.00/year or IDR 77,911,861.00/ha/year.

Obtaining empirical data on solid waste generation and composition is imperative to promote efficient waste management in schools. The paper aims to examine the characteristics and composition of waste generated ‘during food preparation’ stage and ‘after consumption’ stage, waste per capita and the assumption of economic valuation of solid waste for recycling. In this study, solid waste was quantified with transparency through adopting the direct weighing method to obtain reliable and accurate information of solid waste generated at the selected ten school canteens in Hulu Selangor municipality, Malaysia. Based on the result gathered, the total quantity of solid waste generated at 10 school canteens is about 162.8 kg/day with the average solid waste of 19.6 g per capita per day. The total assumption of the economic value of solid waste per day for recycling in all 10 schools’ canteens is about RM 30.70, which shows that recyclable materials have high revenue potential, as well as economic benefits. The present study empirically promotes the transparency of solid waste quantification at the school level, which could help identify hotspots and strategies with the greatest potential for waste reduction.

Economic valuation is an important instrument in making policies for managing coral reef resources effectively and efficiently and is able to distribute the value of benefits and costs in developing conservation areas. This study aims to determine the economic valuation of coral reef resources in TWP Gita Nada Sekotong Lombok Barat  Regency. The research used the survey method with a sample size of 45 respondents determined by purposive random sampling based on the status of the respondent. Data analysis uses the Total Economic Value (TEV) approach by aggregating the value of direct benefits, indirect benefit values, value of selected benefits, value of existence benefits, and value of inheritance benefits. The results showed that the TEV of coral reef in TWP Gita Nada was Rp. 147,976,915,107.98/year or IDR 54,778,806.30/ha/year. The value of indirect benefits contributed IDR 113,523,601,904.00 per year (76.7% of the total economic value of coral reefs), while the direct benefit contributes Rp. 34,453,313,203.98 per year (23.3% of the total economic value of coral reefs).

The genre of annotated verse represents an under-explored form of transporting romanticism. In annotated, locodescriptive poems like those in Anna Seward's Llangollen Vale, readers are invited to read not only the spatiality of the landscapes depicted in the verse but also the landscape of the page itself. Seward's poems, with their focus on understanding geographical, political, and historical spaces both real and imaginary, provide geocritical insight into poetic productions of the early Romantic era. Likewise, geocriticism offers a fresh and useful – even necessary – analytic approach to such poems. I adopt Anna Seward as a case study in annotated verse and argue that attending to the materiality and paratextuality of her work allows us to access the complexities of her poetry and prose as well as her position within the wider framework of transporting Romanticism.
