“…However, although we know that oceans provide diverse and important ecosystem services to society, ensuring the sustainability of these services depends on collaborative data collection to support complex ocean governance decisions (Polejack et al , 2021). The connection between planning and coastal policy management can benefit from data and information on the impact of policy decisions (Milon and Alvarez, 2019), especially when the ability of natural systems to function optimally has been reduced, increasing the vulnerability of regions and local communities through the loss of ecosystem services (Ateweberhan et al , 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to model a process for moving toward sustainable ecosystem service decisions in a Coastal Biodiversity and discuss the directions of the process for decision-makers to apply in ocean ecosystem services. Design/methodology/approach After the development of theoretical approaches to understand their prospects for the future development of ecosystem services, the authors worked on a process for developing factors for sustainable decision-making. It uses the Delphi method to develop all the factors supported by six dimensions in two specific moments: deductive-inductive and inductive-deductive. Findings This process of modeling the factors expands the possibility of adaptive governance to make prior and subsequent decisions using factors related to dimensions, stakeholders and benefits, risks, opportunities and costs. Research limitations/implications Considering the limitations, future studies could use another database to widen the view in terms of the studies, factors, dimensions and other additional information to maintain the evolution of this process in ocean ecosystem services decision-making. Another limitation arose in the number of projects and experts defining the factors. This may prevent the opportunity to have more impact in terms of future decisions if more sources are used in the market. In addition, time and the access to experts during this modeling process demonstrate a limitation, as does the time for feedback. Practical implications This set of factors developed for adaptive governance decision-making can be applied to develop a prior alignment of stakeholder interests with sustainable practices. Social implications This set of factors developed with the intervention of experts reinforces the importance of sustainable collective decisions on ocean ecosystem services. This is a joint approach with participants in the NextOcean project, sponsored by the European Commissions (EC)’s Horizon 2020 program. An Earth Observation-based Consortia aims to create sustainable value for Space, Land and Oceans. Originality/value This modeling process generated dimensions and factors to support adaptive governance stakeholders in making sustainable decisions in a coastal biodiversity zone.

“…Por otra parte, se encuentra la postura hacia la valoración económica en el ámbito de los servicios ambientales (Cerda y García, 2018), la cual sería beneficiosa para medir la pobreza, y como lo señala Kriström (1995; se podría hacer un uso más eficiente de los mismos, toda vez que, si dichos recursos tienen un precio, se logra medir el daño ambiental (Pearce & Turner, 1990), además, el uso de un método de valoración puede proporcionar nuevos conocimientos (Milón y Álvarez, 2019) y ser útil en lo concerniente a la elaboración de políticas ambientales (Cerda & García, 2018) cuantificando el valor económico relacionado con el uso y protección del patrimonio natural y ambiental (Costanza, 2020). Sin embargo, es necesario recordar que el intercambio de estos bienes es usado por los gobiernos y algunas empresas para convenir materias primas a cambio de préstamos extranjeros, pagar deuda externa, aumentar capacidad militar, entre otros, que generalmente por sus ganancias, se destina a los países llamados del "norte".…”

Introducción: Colombia se reconoce como país megadiverso, cuyo coste se ha calculado con fines de riqueza económica, y no se han considerado otras formas que trasciendan el valor monetario. En este artículo se describen variables de riqueza ambiental no monetaria, producto de un trabajo de revisión documental de corte descriptivo y analítico. Metodología: Se desarrolló en tres fases: búsqueda y selección de la información desde bases de datos de acceso libre; organización de la información, para lo cual se construyó una matriz en excel; y análisis de la información considerando las etapas propuestas por Bardín, referidas a preanálisis, aprovechamiento del material, tratamiento de los hallazgos. Resultados y discusión: La caracterización de las variables de riqueza ambiental no monetaria invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia y la responsabilidad que tiene la escuela para que éstas sean objeto estudio, reconocimiento y valoración desde las aulas de clase. Lo anterior en el marco de una educación ambiental que propenda, en los diferentes niveles educativos, por la defensa y apropiación del ambiente, como también para establecer orientaciones, mecanismos y recursos para su reconfiguración, especialmente en la escuela. Conclusiones: La formación en educación ambiental fundamenta la concepción de estrategias que contribuyen al bienestar de las comunidades donde se privilegia la importancia de satisfacer las necesidades básicas y minimizar el impacto de las actividades humanas.

“…One of the main problems is related to the limited availability of data to conduct benefit transfers at the global scale. In fact, Pendleton et al [75] conducted a literature review on the valuation of coastal and marine ecosystem services, highlighting that studies were mainly only concentrated on four coastal and marine ecosystems (i.e., coastal beaches, marine fishing, coastal lands, and wetlands) and that the geographic coverage was concentrated in a few states [18]. Although there are several limitations of global scale assessments of ecosystem services, they have been important in raising awareness on the importance of ecosystems for human well-being.…”

The biotic and abiotic assets of the marine environment form the “marine natural capital” embedded in the global ocean. Marine natural capital provides the flow of “marine ecosystem services” that are directly used or enjoyed by people providing benefits to human well-being. They include provisioning services (e.g., food), regulation and maintenance services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage, and coastal protection), and cultural services (e.g., tourism and recreational benefits). In recent decades, human activities have increased the pressures on marine ecosystems, often leading to ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss and, in turn, affecting their ability to provide benefits to humans. Therefore, effective management strategies are crucial to the conservation of healthy and diverse marine ecosystems and to ensuring their long-term generation of goods and services. Biophysical, economic, and sociocultural assessments of marine ecosystem services are much needed to convey the importance of natural resources to managers and policy makers supporting the development and implementation of policies oriented for the sustainable management of marine resources. In addition, the accounting of marine ecosystem service values can be usefully complemented by their mapping to enable the identification of priority areas and management strategies and to facilitate science–policy dialogue. Given this premise, this study aims to review trends and evolution in the concept of marine ecosystem services. In particular, the global scientific literature on marine ecosystem services is explored by focusing on the following main aspects: the definition and classification of marine ecosystem services; their loss due to anthropogenic pressures, alternative assessment, and mapping approaches; and the inclusion of marine ecosystem services into policy and decision-making processes.
