Values could only be deduced approximately as most services lie outside the current market.Conservative valuation and assumptions about cumulative, non-quantified value emphasize the importance of mangroves to the built environment, people, and future security of Mumbai. This reinforces the need for ...
Coastal flood risks are rising rapidly. We provide high resolution estimates of the economic value of mangroves forests for flood risk reduction every 20 km worldwide. We develop a probabilistic, process-based valuation of the effects of mangroves on
had the strongest explanatory power for carbon storage, indicating that blue carbon in mangroves is driven by the functional composition of diverse tree assemblages. Protecting and restoring mangrove biodiversity with site-specific dominant species and other species of contrasting functional traits would ...
Using contingent valuation method to estimate the \\{WTP\\} for mangrove restoration under the context of climate change: A case study of Thi Nai lagoon, Q... Mangroves in Thi Nai lagoon have typically provided different values for local communities. This study examines the factors influencing ...
(2017) managed realignment approaches involving the restoration of coastal habitats such as saltmarshes, mangroves and oyster reefs are increasingly being considered as “a no-regret option bringing social and environmental benefits” which can improve the long-term sustainability of coastal management ...
The marine ecosystem refers to the aquatic ecosystem containing saltwater and harbors a range of species. This ecosystem is the vastest and the biggest ecosystem on earth. They not only embed the oceanic beds, but also the salt marshes, tidal zones, saltwater swamps, mangroves, coral reefs etc...
I’m a Florida girl and love the ocean. I live in the Andes but miss things like kayaking in mangroves. So, once a year I head to Puerto Lopez on the Pacific Ocean and take a spin out on the water to whale-watch. To see these mammoth creatures breaching in the water, sometimes cl...
innovation, change social norms and avoid locking in to carbon- and resource-intensive technologies, infrastructure and behaviours, will help decision makers as they ponder how to respond to the increasingly stark warnings of natural scientists about the deteriorating condition of the natural environment...
as mangroves, corals, saltmarshes and seagrass meadows currently protect hundreds of millions of people worldwide against storm surges and waves31,32. For example, under RCP8.5 by 2100, a 1 m loss in coral reef height would more than double the global area flooded during a 100-year event29...
