60 – Cultural – Participatory research – interviews, focus groups, and arts-based workshops

This tool is designed to capture social perceptions and cultural values associated with ecosystems, particularly in coastal and marine contexts.

74 – Economic – BEACH Tool (Benefit Evaluation through Assessment of Component Habitats)

BEACH4MARBEFES estimates the spatial value of marine environments at sub-national scales using natural capital accounting and habitat mapping. It transfers national societal benefits to specific habitats and regions through a structured value disaggregation method.

53-Ecological-Molecular – telomeres

Telomere length used as a molecular indicator of sub-lethal stress in deep-water corals collected near aquaculture sites in Norway.

73 – Economic – Complementary Accounting Network (CAN)

CAN is a dashboard encompassing a range of both monetary and non-monetary indicators on a common timescale. The CAN is designed to capture economic, ecological and socio-cultural dimensions over time at both national, regional or local scales.

76 – Economic – Travel cost method

The travel cost method is the most established revealed preference approach to estimate the recreational value of natural sites. It can also be used to value other public goods such as museums or cultural attractions.

70 – Economic – EVTool – Systematized Economic Valuation Tool

EVTool is a simplified instrument that allows to approach the estimated value of ecosystem services adapted to the available information.

20_Paticipatory Reserch – Online survey/questionnaire

This tool captures social perceptions and cultural values of ecosystems, especially in coastal areas, highlighting how people benefit from nature and how their interactions help sustain ecosystem health.

42_Scenario downscaling for management planning

Explore scenario downscaling for marine management planning, enabling effective responses to future uncertainties by assessing potential changes and impacts.

40_Structured surveys

The purpose of the tool is to obtain the perception of stakeholders on the most important socio-economic and ecological variables in their area, and the way they interrelate to (i.e. influence) each other.

30_Physical natural capital accounting

Explore the Physical Natural Capital Accounts (PNCA), a comprehensive tool that visualizes essential eco-data for natural capital accounting and ecosystem management.

13_Ecological Value Assessment – EVA

Discover the Ecological Value Assessment (EVA) method for marine ecosystems, designed to enhance biodiversity valuation across diverse coastal regions.
