Resumo: Oil spill threats off the Portuguese coast are real, though they have not recently occurred. In particular,areas such as the Arrábida Natural Park are highly vulnerable due to development pressures. A contingent valuation survey is used to elicit willingness to pay (WTP) for an oil spill combat program in the area. While from a methodological perspective, (preliminary) results suggest that WTPs are not sensitive to the way information is conveyed when simulating the spill (low vs.high-immersive virtual environment),inferring about the WTPs across heterogeneous agents for reducing the damages caused is valuable information for policy purposes.
