This is an interview-based study to
estimate the costs associated with a reported Vibrio case in
Washington State. We expect these costs are borne primarily to
three key groups: restaurants/retailers, producers, and management
agencies. With key stakeholders, we have formed a conceptual model
of where and when costs are incurred managing Vibrio risks. The
interviews will populate the model with economic values for each
stakeholder group.
