Cost-Benefit Analysis of Reintroducing White-Tailed Sea Eagles

This research seeks to value the benefits and costs of reintroducing White-Tailed Sea Eagles to Tentsmuir, East Fife. The cost and benefits will be framed using an ecosystem service framework. As such, values will be calculated for their impact on nutrient cycling, biological control, food sources, recreation, their aesthetic value, cultural and artistic value, spiritual and religious value and lastly, science and educational value.
