尽管人们越来越关注海洋资源的价值，特别是海洋保护区的价值，但其经济价值主要侧重于渔业和旅游业等生态系统服务的使用价值。此外，大多数与MPA有关的研究是针对沿海生态系统，特别是热带珊瑚礁进行的。对偏远海洋生态系统的估价是罕见的。本文的主要目的是估计公众愿意支付（WTP）的替代管理制度的网络的海上海洋保护区在北海的海洋战略框架指令（MSFD）。在通过MSFD之前进行的基线评估研究中，海滩游客和沿海和非沿海居民的随机样本被问及他们对三个偏远的生态敏感地区的两种替代管理方案的偏好。尽管公众对近海海域缺乏认识和熟悉，但70%的大多数人愿意支付额外的税收来保护它们。使用保守的价值推导程序，荷兰家庭愿意支付平均最多0.25%的年度可支配收入，以禁止访问和经济使用。根据荷兰纳税人的说法，这可以作为MSFD中远程MPA网络允许成本的指标。
Despite increasing attention paid to the value of marine resources, in particular marine protected areas (MPAs), their economic valuation focuses mainly on use values of ecosystem services such as fishery and tourism. Furthermore, most MPA related studies are carried out for coastal ecosystems, especially tropical coral reefs. The valuation of remote marine ecosystems is rare. The main objective of this paper is to estimate public willingness to pay (WTP) for alternative management regimes of a network of offshore MPAs in the North Sea under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). In a baseline valuation study carried out just before the adoption of the MSFD, beach visitors and a random sample of coastal and non-coastal residents were asked for their preferences for two alternative management options of three remote, ecologically sensitive areas with multiple use conflicts. Despite the lack of public awareness and familiarity with the offshore marine areas, a majority of 70% is willing to pay extra tax for their protection. Using a conservative value elicitation procedure, Dutch households are willing to pay on average maximum 0.25% of their annual disposable income to ban access and economic use. This serves as an indicator of what a network of remote MPAs in the MSFD is allowed to cost according to the Dutch tax payer.
