Description :
Wetlands yield a range of values to their owners and to the wider community. One such value is that generated by duck hunting in the region. The non-monetary benefits received by duck hunters through their enjoyment of hunting in wetlands are the primary focus of the paper. In order to estimate these values, a travel cost survey of duck hunters participating in an organised shoot was undertaken. The extent of the private recreation benefits is assessed in terms of their potential to stimulate the provision of wetlands for private and social benefits.
