Notes on this study

Wetland is described in terms of its value for habitat, threat status of species present and ecosystem function. Respondents were told that each option had a household cost that would be collected via an incomes tax levey each year for 5 years. The date the survey was administered was not included, hence CPI conversation assumes the orginal WTP estimate is from 2010, date of publish.
