The Southern Ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and ice in the region reflects heat. These processes help regulate Earth's climate It also helps transport water around the globe, which helps distribute heat, fresh water, carbon and nutrients. These are known as “regulating” servicesAll humanity benefits from Antarctica and the Southern Ocean that surrounds it. To some, these benefits may seem priceless.

All humanity benefits from Antarctica and the Southern Ocean that surrounds it. To some, these benefits may seem priceless. But in our market-driven world, calculating the economic value of the environment can be a useful tool in garnering support for its protection. That was the intention of our new research.

Antarctica and the Southern Ocean provide numerous ecosystem services that benefit people globally, but many are ‘invisible’ to markets and to some decision makers. A subset of these services — Antarctic tourism, commercial fisheries, and a suite of inter-related regulating services — are conservatively valued at ~US $180 billion annually, highlighting their importance.

ResumenThis paper describes a series of Monte-Carlo simulations that investigate the accuracy of welfare estimates generated from the travel cost model (TCM). The simulations indicate that in some cases the TCM can generate reasonably accurate welfare estimates – even when researchers are unable to determine the correct price of all recreational inputs or the correct way to allocate the joint costs of multiple-site visitors.
