Abstract: |
The aim of the current project has been to develop a methodology to allow for the historic environment to be better included in these assessments, and to provide a pilot study to show how this would work in a marine and coastal context. This project sought specifically to bring together the natural and cultural elements of marine archaeological assets (wreck sites) to consider the Ecosystems Services they provide. The wrecks within our study area, the Kent Coast and Goodwin Sands, were found to contribute to the provision of food (fish), cultural heritage, recreation and tourism, aesthetic value, inspiration, social relations and habitats for species. While the value of heritage to tourism and recreation for example is well known, the ecosystems services framework represents a useful means of identifying beneficiaries whose use of the sites may relate to factors other than their heritage value. For example, use of a wreck site by anglers. |
