Abstract There are strong links between heritage and the environment yet, is not fully included in existing ecosystem‐based frameworks. Different understandings of values exist, yet related to key value categories environmental research. To address this gap facilitate a common values‐based approach, we develop novel framework that values. First, expand understanding by linking categories. We then use Life Framework Values show how features different ways which people relate world. The...
Abstract A variety of ecosystem services classification systems and mapping approaches are available in the scientific technical literature, which needs to be selected adapted when applied complex territories (e.g. interface between water land, estuary sea). This paper provides a framework for addressing coastal regions. The roadmap comprises definition exact geographic boundaries study area; use CICES (Common International Classification Ecosystem Services) identification classification;...
Abstract Ria de Aveiro is a mesotidal coastal lagoon with one of the largest continuous salt marshes in Europe. The objective this work was to assess C, N and P stocks Spartina maritima (low marsh pioneer halophyte) Juncus maritimus (representative mid-high halophytes) combined contribution Halimione portulacoides, Sarcocornia perennis , Bolbochenous ≈4400 ha area. A multivariate analysis (PCO), taking into account environmental variables annual biomass nutrient dynamics, showed that there...
Abstract A decision support framework for the management of lagoon ecosystems was tested using four European Lagoons: Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), Mar Menor (Spain), Tyligulskyi Liman (Ukraine) and Vistula Lagoon (Poland/Russia). Our aim to formulate integrated recommendations lagoons. To achieve this we followed a DPSIR ( Drivers-Pressures-State Change-Impacts-Responses ) approach, with focus on integrating aspects human wellbeing, welfare ecosystem sustainability. The most important drivers...

Every year, tons of fishing gear are discarded to the ocean globally, inflicting severe threats marine habitats and wildlife, while causing economic damage sector. The timely tracking recovery lost can minimize this risk, help preserve our oceans boost Modern gear, primarily composed non-biodegradable plastics, if abandoned, or (ALDFG) persist in environments, contribute pollution, with several harmful impacts, such as ghost fishing, habitat degradation, microplastic release. In presentation...
This article shares the experiences, observations, and discussions that occurred during completing of an ecosystem services (ES) indicator framework to be used at European Union (EU) Member States' level. The experience base was drawn from 3 research projects 14 associated case study sites include 13 transitional-water bodies (specifically 8 coastal lagoons, 4 riverine estuaries, 1 fjord) coastal-water ecosystem. ES pertinent each site were identified along with indicators these data sources...

Coastal and Maritime Cultural Heritage (CMCH) is an important asset in coastal areas. However, this heritage has been exposed to several environmental human-created threats. This paper presents three European regions with relevant CMCH tourism destinations: Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), the Small Isles (Scotland, UK) Marsaxlokk (Malta). The draws attention challenges they face, dynamics between provides recommendations for sustainable exploitation of CMCH. A comparative case-study approach was...
Abstract Coastal and marine cultural heritage (CMCH) is at risk due to its location often indefinable value. As these risks are likely intensify in the future, there an urgent need build CMCH resilience. We argue that current management paradigm narrowly focuses on present preservation. This tends exclude debates about contested nature of resilience how it may be achieved beyond a strict preservationist approach. There need, therefore, progress broader more dynamic framing recognises shift...
