CPD fellow and marine economist Caroline Hoisington’s report for the CPD, Rezoning SA Marine Parks was featured on the ABC Rural news website. The article focuses on the $20 million value of the marine parks to South Australia, which equates to four times the value of fish catches that would be lost from the areas.

Caroline Hoisington is quoted as saying:

“When areas are protected, they function better they are more resistant to environmental problems which we know are coming, like ocean acidification and warming.”
