A guidance note authored by M. W. Beck synthesizing evidence and reviewing tools for measuring the coastal protection services of mangroves and coral reefs. It provides recommendations for integrating these valuations into national economic accounts and decision-making processes for development, disaster risk, and coastal zone management.
Use Cases
- Quantifying coastal risk reduction based on evidence of mangrove and coral reef protective services mentioned in the description
- Integrating ecosystem service valuations into national accounts based on the review of the System of Environmental Economic Accounts (SEEA)
- Informing coastal management decisions at local to national scales based on examined case studies
- Applying reviewed tools and approaches for estimating the economic value of coastal habitat protection
Strengths
- Synthesizes evidence across multiple disciplines (ecology, economics, engineering) as described
- Provides structured recommendations across seven chapters for practical application
- Examines integration with the System of Environmental Economic Accounts (SEEA), a formal accounting framework
