Abstract

In ecology, the term seascape is used to describe a complex dynamic patchwork of interconnected marine and near-shore habitats (e.g., coral reef, sea grass, open water, mangrove, sandy beaches). This monograph examines this novel way of viewing the marine environment and discusses how economics can contribute to this approach to provide new analytical, management, and policy insights. A simple model of a twohabitat marine system (coral reefs and mangroves) is developed. The model is used to illustrate that, even if the focus is on whether or not to develop only the coastal habitat (i.e., mangroves), taking into account its connectivity with the rest of the seascape (i.e., coral reef) can affect the decision as to how much and which part of the coastal should be developed. The impact of seascape connectivity is examined for three marine ecosystem services: storm protection, habitat-fishery linkages, and water pollution and sediment control.
海洋海景经济学
在生态学中,“海景”一词被用来描述相互关联的海洋和近岸栖息地(如珊瑚礁、海草、开阔水域、红树林、沙滩)的复杂动态拼凑。这本专著探讨了这种观察海洋环境的新方法,并讨论了经济学如何有助于这种方法,以提供新的分析,管理和政策见解。建立了一个简单的双栖海洋系统(珊瑚礁和红树林)模型。该模型用于说明,即使重点是是否只开发沿海栖息地(即红树林),考虑到其与其他海景(即珊瑚礁)的连通性也会影响应该开发多少和开发哪一部分沿海的决定。研究了海景连通性对三种海洋生态系统服务的影响:风暴保护、栖息地-渔业联系、水污染和沉积物控制。

期刊介绍: Environmental and resource economics has become a broad topic making connections with many other subdisciplines in economics as well as the natural and physical sciences. It has also experience a significant growth in research such that the literature is exploding in terms of the number of topics addressed, the number of methodological approaches being applied and the sheer number of articles being written. Coupled with the high degree of specialization that characterizes modern academic research, this proliferation of topics and methodologies makes it impossible for anyone, even those who specialize in the subject, to keep up with developments in the field.
