Conserving key coastal areas for mangrove expansion and eco-tourism secures ecosystem services under sea-level rise
Kostantinos A. Stamoulis, et al., Nature Tourism
We apply a scenario-based natural capital assessment to support the design of NbS for climate mitigation and adaptation, by considering tourism and coastal protection in two large coastal lagoons in the United Arab Emirates. Under future sea-level rise, ecosystem services are greatly reduced with impacts on habitat quality leading to reductions in blue carbon storage, coastal protection, and tourism in both study sites.
