I am working on a cost-benefit project that aims to identify costs and benefits of FAD(fish aggregating device) beaching vs management actions to prevent/retrieve beached FADs. Any ideas how I could assign monetary value for habitat loss? Thanks!

You can refer to studies of cost benefit analysis and eco economics but if you understand the nature of money itself this makes it a futile excessive. Please see
