Description:This research presents estimates of non-market values of marine protected areas in the Northeast Region of the US. A random sample of over 1300 households in the Northeast Region was presented with sets of hypothetical alternatives which differed in terms of reserve size (5%-40%), compatible uses (No-Take, Science and Education, passive forms of Leisure and Tourism, pelagic Fishing), and personal costs ($10-$150) and asked to choose the bundle that they preferred. Answers from the 77% of responders were analyzed with a latent class specification of the random-utility-model (RUM) to objectively test for heterogeneous preferences.
