University of Tehran Journal of Natural Environment 2008-7764 70 2 2017 07 23 Estimating economic losses caused by oil spill in 2010 in Nayband bay National Marine Park (Boushehr, Iran) Estimating economic losses caused by oil spill in 2010 in Nayband bay National Marine Park (Boushehr, Iran) 427 238 63862 10.22059/jne.2017.136615.1042 FA Shima Madani Associate Professor, Marine Policy Department, Iranian National Institute for Oceanographic and Atmospheric Science Fatemeh Bzazan Saeedeh Khaleghi Journal Article 2015 11 22 The sinking of several floating oil near Nayband bay National Marine Park in Boushehr (south of Iran) which caused oil spills to the sea during 2009-2010, was one of the important events in the Persian Gulf. This oil pollution happened near one of the most valuable marine protected areas that is crucial for the fishing industry in the region. So in this paper, the aim is to estimate the economic losses that all productive sectors suffered through oil pollution with Input-Output model. In this regard decreasing in catch fish after oil pollution neat, the polluted area has been used as an external shock in the Input-Output table. The results indicate that oil spill had more effect on the wholesale and retail sector, construction and transportation respectively. As a whole total economic loss to the regional economy was at least $1,022,000 for 2011.
