NESP MaC Project 1.9 - Quantifying the ecosystem services of the Great Southern Reef

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋和沿海枢纽小规模研究--“量化大南礁的生态系统服务”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 大南礁(GSR)是一个相互连接的珊瑚礁系统，以海藻森林为主，沿澳大利亚南部绵延8000多公里。它是海洋生物多样性和地方性的全球热点，也是地球上生产力最高的生态系统之一。然而，海带森林正在减少，在没有准确估计其对社会和经济的贡献的情况下，循证管理受到阻碍。在这个项目中，我们将系统地汇编和综合关于GSR提供的生态系统价值和服务的现有数据，包括市场价值和非市场价值。这些评估将与现有会计准则保持一致，以确保与正在进行的和未来的努力相一致。<br/> <br/> 产出<br/> ·为开发GSR生态系统账户而整理和评估的数据清单<br/> ·载有分析数据的最后技术报告，包括对主要调查结果向政策制定者提出的建议的简短摘要(书面)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "Quantifying the ecosystem services of the Great Southern Reef". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> The Great Southern Reef (GSR) is an interconnected system of reefs dominated by kelp forests spanning over 8,000 km along southern Australia. It is a global hotspot for marine biodiversity and endemism, and one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. Kelp forests, however, are diminishing and evidence-based management is hindered without accurate estimates of their contribution to society and the economy. In this project, we will systematically compile and synthesise existing data on the ecosystem values and services provided by the GSR, including market and non-market values. These assessments will be aligned with existing accounting standards to ensure compatibility with ongoing and future efforts.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Inventory of data collated and assessed for the purpose of developing ecosystem accounts for GSR<br /> • Final technical report with analysed data, including a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings (written)
