| Abstract | The creation of a marine reserve network is an acti ve area of policy in Australia. Successful policy hinges on community support, which requires an unde rstanding of what drives improvements in social welfare. Here, a discrete choice experiment is used to estimate ecological values for the Ningaloo Marine Park. A novel aspect of this resear ch is that it not only considers the values people hold for conservation outcomes, but also their pref erences for how those outcomes are achieved. By considering management process within the choice mo del, we gain a richer understanding of the relationship between social welfare and marine cons ervation. The results indicate that management process does have an impact on individuals’ prefere nces for conservation. |
