Research Topic - Estimate the Social-Economic Benefits of New South Wales Ocean Observing System

The aims of my research are first to explore the relationship between NSW ocean observing system and potential benefit related sectors, then evaluate the social economic benefits that different users and public agencies could get from the information provided by NSW ocean observing system, and finally conduct the cost benefit analysis of NSW ocean observing system. For the beneficiaries analysis, I will focus on three related sectors: commercial fishery, tourism and natural hazard prediction.
