Overview
Centered on a set of ecosystem services conceptual models, this resource offers an entry point for incorporating ecosystem service considerations into your program or project. The models illustrate the way that management interventions cascade through an ecological system and produce ecosystem services and other human welfare impacts. This guide is specific to coastal issues and is part of a broader ecosystem services toolkit.
