Abstract
The project is designed to :

  • develop economic and ecological criteria which can be applied to determine the costs of various kinds of marine pollution;

  • develop mathematical equations which can be applied in economic submodels for the cost determination of environmental impacts.

Four cases of marine pollution are considered :

  • discharge of dangerous chemical substances (black list);
  • oil dumping;
  • increasing concentration of faecal/pathogenic bacteria as a result of the direct discharges of waste water into coastal waters;
  • eutrophication with resultant algal growth.
