Introduction to Case Studies of Ecosystem Services
Dr. Krishnappa Venkatesharaju
Abstract
The Tamar catchment and the Alkborough Flats managed realignment site served as the study's two case studies. This paper details the study's background, methodologies, conclusions, and recommendations. These studies had the aim of determining whether the ecosystems approach, or management based on ecosystem services was appropriate and valuable for the Environment Agency. The ecosystems approach could be applied proactively to schemes in the planning or inception stage in order to more effectively engage appropriate stakeholders, frame problems, explore alternative solutions, and agree upon priorities, as was acknowledged in both case studies, which focused on historical schemes.
