The Problem
• Whether intensive shrimp farming in
coastal agricultural fertile land promotes
the private gains at the cost of society?

• Whether the myopic behaviour of


individual intensive shrimp farmer leads
to degradation of not only his or her own
coastal agricultural fertile lands but also
the neighbouring paddy fields?
The plausible results

Socially desirable land use
