BUILDING SITE BASED SCENARIOS: TOOLS AND APPROACHES FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN THE VALMER PROJECT
The way we make decisions relating to the coastal and marine environment has seen a gradual change over a number of years and the involvement of people and those affected by the decisions has become more prominent. One way of involving stakeholders actively is to involve them with building the route to possible outcomes or developing ‘scenarios’. These guidelines have been published to support the delivery of the European Union funded Interreg IVa Channel VALMER project and it is hoped they may provide general help for others looking to involve people in natural resource management decisions. The VALMER project is looking at assessing and valuing ecosystem services within six case study sites within the Western Channel. The project seeks to recognise how natural systems and processes provide us with a vast range of important ecosystem services and benefits (economic, social and environmental) and will explore ways to assess and communicate their value, both in monetary and non-monetary ways.
