Abstract

This report details research to understand recreational and other cultural values associated with Puget Sound ecosystems. It includes four components: Chapter 1, a characterization of coastal recreation and associated expenditures among residents of the region, including an analysis of how these values vary across space; Chapter 2, an analysis of sense of place and aesthetic values associated with the region; Chapter 3, an experimental analysis of willingness to pay for environmental protection through agricultural riparian buffers; and Chapter 4, analysis of interviews with farmers regarding attitudes towards riparian buffers in Snohomish County.
