对自然保护区价值的日益关注导致沿海生境生态系统服务估值的激增。然而，这些研究并没有提供这些栖息地的经济价值的全面代表。受保护的沿海环境，如国家河口研究保护区系统（NERRS），为当地社区增加了就业机会和收入。NERRS等机构提供的经济贡献超出了其业务支出和提供的就业机会。外汇储备及其合作伙伴的支出会波及整个经济。我们通过IMPLAN使用投入产出模型在四个试点进行了经济贡献分析。网站在各自的地区贡献了数百万的收入和数十到数百个工作岗位。这四个地点中的每一个都有不同类别的支出，这是收入和就业的最大贡献者，这可能是由于社区背景和保护区的位置。了解这些贡献有助于验证NERRS的资金。传播这些贡献沿着生态系统服务价值可能会增加社区成员的支持，否则不使用或依赖NERRS的传统保护区支持者。
Increased attention to the value of protected natural areas has led to the proliferation of ecosystem service valuations for coastal habitats. However, these studies do not provide a full representation of the economic value of these habitats. Protected coastal environments, such as the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), add jobs and revenue to their local communities. Institutions such as NERRS provide economic contributions that extend beyond their operational spending and jobs they provide. Spending by reserves and their partners ripples throughout the economy. We performed an economic contribution analysis at four pilot sites using input-output modeling through IMPLAN. Sites contributed millions in revenue and tens to hundreds of jobs in their respective regions. Each of the four sites had a different category of spending that was the largest contributor of revenue and jobs, which is likely due to the community context and location of the reserves. Understanding these contributions is helpful in validating funding for NERRS. Communicating these contributions along with ecosystem service values may increase support from community members who otherwise do not use or rely on NERRS as much as traditional reserve supporters.
