Should we abandon ship? Estimating the value of Cultural Heritage of the German Baltic Sea Fishery 1: University of Southern Denmark, Denmark; 2: Center for Ocean and Society, Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, Germany Local communities rely on small-scale fisheries as a source of income but also as part of their cultural identity and heritage. The cultural value of small-scale fisheries has been used as an argument to support these fisheries; yet there is a scarcity of estimates of their value in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap by estimating the cultural value of small-scale fisheries in Germany. We show that this value is substantial and should not be overlooked by stakeholders. In fact on average each German adult resident is willing to pay up to 102 euros to preserve this cultural value and this is equivalent to an annual value up to 7.1 billion Euros million euros for Germany. | |
