Pilot Study Program, Great Lakes Shoreland Damage Study. Appendix VI. Engineering-Economics Analysis of Shore Protection Systems: A Benefit/Cost Model.

Abstract

The decision to invest in a shore protection structure is influenced by a number of variables. To enable shoreline property owners to examine the factors in making investments in shoreline protective structures, the study employs benefit/cost analysis. This economic tool evaluations the net benefits property owners derive from shoreline structures. The model ties together these factors in a computer program that determines the economic worth of the various protective measures available.
