Applying Principles from Economics to Improve the Transfer of Ecological Production Estimates in Fisheries Ecosystem Services Research

Creator:: Errend, Melissa
Abstract:: Ecosystem services (ES) provide a pathway to connect ecosystem processes to human well-being. Ecosystem-based fisheries management can utilize the ecosystem service framework to assess trade-offs of actions such as restoration and gear restrictions, or environmental changes such as ocean acidification and warming, and sea level rise. However, due to a...
