The Guardian has published article about and a 'letter' in the opinion section taking a counter view h -'The Guardian view on pricing the Great Barrier Reef a dangerous absurdity'. Another thought provoking counter view expressed by concerned activists - what if the amount hadn't been as significant as it was; if the full range of opportunity costs (value of opportunities lost) hadn't been included; if some -, perhaps many, are extremely difficult to value in money terms - would this have meant that the Great Barrier Reef would have been considered less worth saving?
