This 90-minute online training provides an overview of methods like benefits-cost analysis, economic impact analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and more. Understanding the basic data needs, process, and anticipated results of these economic approaches will help with identifying the appropriate methods and resources needed to assess the value of coastal projects based on their objectives.
