The idea of improving the quality of the Baltic Sea enjoys common understanding and acceptance. An implementation of this idea requires a cost-benefit analysis to define the correct scope of intervention. Monetary valuation of the benefits arising from the quality improvement was conducted for the Baltic Sea using the contingent valuation method, choice experiments, and travel cost method in 2004 and 2010 (booth samples were representative for the whole country). Crucial sources for such valuation were the stated preferences of the respondents. The availability of ex-post data describing the occupancy rate of all swimming sites on the Polish stretch of the Baltic coast, collected for four consecutive years (2012-2016), makes it possible to compare two concepts, i.e. the ex-ante declarations concerning willingness to use high-quality environment and the actual consumers' choices. The results reveal serious discrepancies between the ex-ante and ex-post methods(original abstract)
