of ecosystems

Benefits thatpeople get

According to CICES, 2013, ecosystem services are "the contributions that ecosystems offer to human well-being" by pointing to three types of services: cultural, provision, regulation and support.

• Drinking water

• Farming

• Fishing

PROVISION

Tourism

Cultural identity

Handicrafts

•WaterPurification

•Sediment transport

•Nutrition Recycling

REGULATION AND SUPPORT

METHODOLOGY APPLIED IN ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

Construct a conceptual model of the ecosystem, identifying:

• Ecosystem Functions and Processes

• Public policies and management tools

• Problems of local communities

1. Focus efforts and resources in the territory

2. Interpreting technical / scientific data

3. Identify applied solutions

Water system is any system where WATER is the fundamental variable thatdetermines the structure, dynamics and functionality of an aquatic ecosystem andthe provision of ecosystem services.

Step 1Identification of water systems in marine and coastal environments
