NCEAS Working Groups
Valuation of marine ecosystem services
Project Description
NCEAS and the California Ocean Protection Council are collaborating to examine existing methods of market and non-market valuation of marine ecosystem services. Participants in this workshop will compile a lexicon related to market and non-market valuation of ecosystem services. In addition, the group will outline available strategies for deriving the value of ecosystem services and associated uncertainties in measurement or interpretation. Participants will develop a preliminary list of services in coastal marine California that are expedient and tractable to value. They also will help to scope the potential for valuation of one or more services by future working groups of economists and ecologists.
