      abstract = {Wetland protection in the Upper South East (USE) of South  Australia yields a range
of private and social benefits.  The profit motivation for private wetland owners to
supply  private benefits is clear whilst the provision of purely  social benefits by private
suppliers has no similar  incentive. One potential for the provision of social  benefits
from private lands arises when a private benefit  is jointly supplied with a social
benefit. Such is the case  of nature-based recreation activities such as duck hunting.  In
this paper, the results of a study investigating the  extent of the benefits enjoyed by
duck hunters in the USE  are reported. The travel cost method was employed in  a
survey of those participating in a weekend duck hunt. The  extent of the private
recreation benefits so estimated is  assessed in terms of their potential to stimulate  the
provision of wetlands for both private and social  benefits.},
