Little is known about the variability of ecosystem service values at spatial scales most relevant to local decision makers. Competing definitions of ecosystem services, the paucity of ecological and economic information, and the lack of standardization in methodology are major obstacles to applying the ecosystem-services approach at the estuary scale. We present a standardized method that combines habitat maps and habitat-faunal associations to estimate ecosystem service values for recreational…

Ecosystem Services of Coastal Habitats and Fisheries: Multiscale Ecological and Economic Models in Support of Ecosystem-Based Management
TLDR
This work presents concepts and case studies linking the production functions (contributions to recruitment) of critical habitats to commercial and recreational fishery values by combining sitespecific research data with spatial analysis and population models, and presents examples illustrating various spatial scales of analysis.
Habitat Restoration from an Ecosystem Goods and Services Perspective: Application of a Spatially Explicit Individual-Based Model
Estuarine ecosystems provide many services to humans, but these ecosystems are also under pressure from human development, which has led to large investments in habitat protection and restoration.…

Intertidal habitat utilization patterns of birds in a Northeast Pacific estuary
A habitat-based framework is a practical method for developing models (or, ecological production functions, EPFs) to describe the spatial distribution of ecosystem services. To generate EPFs for…

Mangrove Ecosystem Service Values and Methodological Approaches to Valuation: Where Do We Stand?
Mangroves, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes, collectively termed "Blue Forests," are counted among the most valuable and productive coastal ecosystems on the planet. A recent literature review of…
Monetary valuation of recreational fishing in a restored estuary and implications for future management measures
Recreational fishing is considered a cultural ecosystem service, important in terms of the socio-economic benefits that it provides. In the Nerbioi estuary (northern Spain), investments in water…
