DESCRIPTION:

This report focuses on economics and explores the feasibility of a Straits-wide approach for assessing natural resource damages in the Straits of Malacca. Emphasis is given to damages due to harm to publicly controlled natural resources, rather than to private losses, since the latter are relatively easy to assess compared to natural resource damages, and the incentive and legal means usually exist to pursue such claims.
