| Title |
The Use of Ecosystem Services Approach in Guiding Water Valuation and Management: Inland and Coastal Waters |
| Abstract |
In this chapter we develop an interdisciplinary methodology for identifying water-related ecosystem functions into ecosystem services for humans, which are then monetarily evaluated using market and non-market valuation methods. We then apply this methodology to selected case studies on inland and coastal waters and show how these results facilitate the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive. |
