Approximation of the benefits of socioeconomic activities in Cocos Island National Park and the effects of climate change

Abstract: The objective of this study was to quantify the economic benefits provided by the cluster of activities developed thanks to the existence of the Cocos Island National Park (CINP) and the ecosystem services it offers. The methodology consisted of employing cluster analysis complemented by a...
