“…Because of the scientific ambiguity and the many assumptions needed to value individual animals, we have refrained from ascribing a tourist value to the whale sharks in Maldives (Catlin et al, 2013).…”

“…Tourism revenue can be considered a type of non-consumptive direct use value (Catlin et al, 2013; for a description of value types see Turner et al, 2003). The value of a natural location or a non-consumptive activity can be evaluated from a non-market perspective by using contingent (e.g.…”

“…Davis et al (1997) assert that effective management planning for whale shark tourism needs both biological and recreational data. When complementing the ecological concern, recreational data and economic valuations can also be crucial tools to transparently determine appropriate management strategies such as visitation fees, licensing systems or other restrictions, as well as gaining public support on the implementation of such measures (Ludwig, 2000;Catlin et al, 2012Catlin et al, , 2013.…”

Whale sharks attract large numbers of tourists, divers and snorkelers each year to South Ari Atoll in the Republic of Maldives. Yet without information regarding the use and economic extent of the attraction, it is difficult to prioritize conservation or implement effective management plans. We used empirical recreational data and generalized mixed statistical models to conduct the first economic valuation (with direct spend as the primary proxy) of whale shark tourism in Maldives. We estimated that direct expenditures for whale shark focused tourism in the South Ari Marine Protected Area for 2012 and 2013 accounted for US$7.6 and $9.4 million respectively. These expenditures are based on an estimate of 72,000-78,000 tourists who are involved in whale shark excursions annually. That substantial amount of income to resort owners and operators, and tourism businesses in a relatively small area highlights the need to implement regulations and management that safeguard the sustainability of the industry through ensuring guest satisfaction and whale shark conservation.

“…Leisure studies, and the social sciences more broadly, is strongly anthropocentric, positioning humans as the only legitimate focus for study, and concentrating on human priorities, experiences and practices (Dashper, 2018;Finkel & Danby, 2018). If nonhumans do appear in research, they are usually confined to a background role, reduced to species-level, and only considered if their actions or behaviours affect human outcomes (Catlin, Hughes, Jones, Jones, & Campbell, 2013). Within this work, individual animals and their unique subjectivities disappear from view, and their 'animalness' is presented only in relation to their value to humans.…”

“…Se ha observado que puede estar sucediendo que el autoconsumo ambiental induce a ciertos propietarios a aceptar remuneraciones del capital cinegético manufacturado por debajo de las normales del mercado e incluso negativas, justificadas estas últimas por ver cumplidas los propietarios sus "ilusiones venatorias", es decir, las pérdidas cinegética que reflejan sus márgenes de explotación negativos no serían tales, sino que podría ser una producción de servicio intermedio de la actividad cinegética omitido a favor de la actividad de autoconsumo ambiental. Las especies cinegéticas también podrían estar incorporando renta ambiental pública embebida en el valor de las rentas ambientales de los productos públicos del ecosistema, con mayor influencia en el servicio recreativo público (CATLIN et al, 2013).…”

ResumenEste trabajo propone el criterio contable de valoración residual para medir la renta ambiental de un monte a partir de estimar previamente la renta total, la renta de capital y asumir la aplicación de la tasa de rentabilidad del capital manufacturado inmovilizado. Las dificultades de estas mediciones están motivadas, unas, por la falta de datos de las producciones y costes de la función de renta total y, otras, por los métodos de valoración ambiental que presentan aún retos pendientes para su empleo en la estimación de los servicios del valor existencia de las diversidades natural y cultural públicas del monte. En las agendas de los gobiernos y otras instituciones de interés público, se señala la disposición a acordar la implantación de una nueva metodología contable de los ecosistemas naturales alternativa al sistema de cuentas nacionales convencional. El fin perseguido es que se refleje la aportación de la renta ambiental a los productos con y sin precios de mercado que contribuyen a la renta nacional social y el bienestar humano en general. Este trabajo conceptualiza la medición de la renta ambiental de los montes en el contexto de la metodología del sistema de Cuentas Agroforestales que está desarrollando el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas en el proyecto Renta y Capital de los Montes de Andalucía (RECAMAN), en colaboración con la Junta de Andalucía y otras instituciones de investigación.Palabras clave: Cuentas agroforestales del monte, Renta total, Valoración ambiental, RECAMAN
