Marine Sites and the Drivers of Wellbeing: Ecosystem vs. Anthropic Services
Coastal sites offer a range of services that contribute to human wellbeing. While some of the services are entirely human-made (e.g., parasol and sunbed rental), others are produced thanks to the contribution of marine ecosystems (e.g., water clarity). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the...

Coastal sites offer a range of services that contribute to human wellbeing.
