Abstract:

In recent years, widespread use of scanning sonars for acoustic imaging of the seabed surface can be observed. These types of sonars are mainly used with tripods or special booms, or are mounted onboard remotely operated or unmanned vehicles. Typical scanning sonar applications include search and recovery operations, imaging of underwater infrastructure, and scour monitoring. The use of these sonars is often limited to shallow waters. Diver teams or underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV) are commonly used to inspect shipwrecks, port wharfs, and ship hulls. However, reduced underwater visibility, submerged debris, and extreme water depths can limit divers’ capabilities. In this paper, a novel, nonstandard technique for use of a scanning sonar is proposed. The new application for scanning sonar technology is a practical solution developed on the Polish Navy’s search and rescue ship “Lech.” To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique, the author took part in four different studies carried out in the southeastern Baltic Sea. The tests were performed using the MS 1000 scanning sonar. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique has the potential to provide detailed sonar images of the seabed and underwater objects before the descent of divers. The divers get acquainted with the underwater situation, which undoubtedly increases the safety of the entire operation. Scanning sonars are unlikely to completely replace the work of divers but may reduce the number and duration of dives. The sonar use technique turned out to be useful when rescuing a crew of a submarine that crashed and settled on the sea bottom as part of a naval exercise. The sonar data obtained during four experimental tests performed in the Baltic Sea prove the validity, usefulness, and significance of the proposed technique, especially from the standpoint of safety of underwater work.

Abstract:

In scientific and technical diving, the survey of unknown or partially unexplored areas is a common task that requires an accurate planning for ensuring the optimal use of resources and the divers’ safety. In particular, in any kind of diving activity, it is essential to foresee the “dive profile” that represents the diver’s exposure to pressure over time, ensuring that the dive plan complies with the specific safety rules that have to be applied in accordance with the diver’s qualification and the environmental conditions. This paper presents a novel approach to dive planning based on an original underwater pathfinding algorithm that computes the best 3D path to follow during the dive in order to be able to maximise the number of points of interest (POIs) visited, while taking into account the safety limitations. The proposed approach, for the first time, considers the morphology of the 3D space in which the dive takes place to compute the best path, taking into account the decompression limits and avoiding the obstacles through the analysis of a 3D map of the site. Moreover, three different cost functions are proposed and evaluated to identify the one that could suit the divers’ needs better.

Abstract:

Underwater photogrammetry is increasingly being used by marine ecologists because of its ability to produce accurate, spatially detailed, non-destructive measurements of benthic communities, coupled with affordability and ease of use. However, independent quality control, rigorous imaging system set-up, optimal geometry design and a strict modeling of the imaging process are essential to achieving a high degree of measurable accuracy and resolution. If a proper photogrammetric approach that enables the formal description of the propagation of measurement error and modeling uncertainties is not undertaken, statements regarding the statistical significance of the results are limited. In this paper, we tackle these critical topics, based on the experience gained in the Moorea Island Digital Ecosystem Avatar (IDEA) project, where we have developed a rigorous underwater photogrammetric pipeline for coral reef monitoring and change detection. Here, we discuss the need for a permanent, underwater geodetic network, which serves to define a temporally stable reference datum and a check for the time series of photogrammetrically derived three-dimensional (3D) models of the reef structure. We present a methodology to evaluate the suitability of several underwater camera systems for photogrammetric and multi-temporal monitoring purposes and stress the importance of camera network geometry to minimize the deformations of photogrammetrically derived 3D reef models. Finally, we incorporate the measurement and modeling uncertainties of the full photogrammetric process into a simple and flexible framework for detecting statistically significant changes among a time series of models.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTTourism in Antarctica has grown substantially over recent decades and has diversified into different activities and modes of transport. This paper presents a first attempt to explore the implications of this diversification trend for Antarctic tourist experiences, wildlife and onsite management. Evidence from a passenger survey, participatory observations and expert interviews using video elicitation has been collected during, and in the context of, a diving expedition cruise. The data suggests that significant differences can be detected in the way divers and non-divers experience aspects of the trip, most notably regarding guides. The results also indicate that diverse activities generate a broader variance in attitudes and behaviours, which may have repercussions for wildlife, site use and onsite management. Given the diversification trend it is timely and necessary to revisit and consistently enforce site guidelines and visitor guidelines with an eye on multi-activity trips. In addition, further studies on the implications of this trend are needed by means of case studies, surveys looking at a wider range of tourist trips, and monitoring programmes assessing wildlife behaviour and impacts.

Abstract:

The biomedical potential of the sea has gone largely unexplored so far, despite the fact that it covers three quarters of the planet surface and the fact that life on Earth originated from the sea. However, with the arrival of the professional deep sea divers, the marine researchers have gained access to all sorts of marine creatures like sponges, corals, sea urchins, sea squirts, hydroids, sea anemones, fishes and mollusks as well as to varied types of sea plants including algae and the other micro-organisms embedded in the sea bed. The biomedical scientists are exploiting these all to extract marine natural products (MNPs) having pharmacological properties that may one day cure long list of illnesses varying from bacterial infections to cancer, Alzheimer's and AIDS and was the focus of this review article.

Abstract:

My stoneware sculptures in my MFA final project were named Earth Divers because clay as a material is earth and clay is also symbolic of the Earth. The way that I physically dive into clay up to my elbows is a poetic performance. The sculptures were built in sections horizontally and then stacked vertically. I began the process by first making life size plaster molds of the human figure taken from live people. Earth Divers take their architectural structure specifically from the organic curves of the negative voids that are characteristic of the plaster figure molds. I built into these plaster molds a block or brick like section. I then removed the large block sections from the molds and stacked the sections one on top of the other combining the figurative and architectural structures with gothic influence. The sculptor, Stephen De Staebler, who works in a similar fashion, describes his work as, "... first laying the figure down and later standing it in a vertical position." The way of life that was lost with the manufacturing past of my family at Castone Brick is found in the use of industrial nostalgia by modeling I-beam shapes as part of the structure of the stacked sections. I also fired nuts, bolts, and washers of various sizes in the clay that build the surface of the human forms. The square nut seen in my work is no longer being manufactured and is symbolic of the passing of the industrial age in America. Finally, to build the surfaces of my sculptures I used slips, glazes, and a variety of clays on top of clay, and laid glass fragments on the horizontal surfaces to create a look of pooled water when my work was fired similar to what I have seen in the Lehman Caves in Baker, Nevada. "I believe there is a force in this world that lives beneath the surface, something primitive and wild that awakens when you need an extra push just to survive, like wild flowers that bloom after a fire turns the forest black. Most people are afraid of it and keep it buried deep inside themselves. But, there will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us." (Tim McGraw)

Abstract:

Le comportement des structures sous certains types d'actions tels que les séismes nécessite une bonne connaissance du comportement des matériaux composants sous des charges cycliques. Dans cette étude, le modèle de comportement cyclique du béton est basé sur la théorie de l'endommagement, sur la mécanique des milieux continus et la thermodynamique des processus irréversibles. Ce modèle tient compte des déformations résiduelles et de la perte de raideur due à la fissuration. Dans son application, les effets biaxiaux et le fluage ne sont pas pris en considération. Le comportement des armatures est considéré élasto - plastique parfait. Une amélioration importante pour l'application du modèle a été de définir une méthode d'identification des paramètres à partir des données physiques obtenues dans les essais classiques de contrôle du béton et d'une expression analytique de la loi de comportement d'usage courant. Le modèle uniaxial est introduit dans un code numérique pour structures planes. La structure à analyser est découpée en plusieurs éléments de poutres. Chaque élément est représenté par un certain nombre de sections. La section est divisée en plusieurs fibres soumises à une sollicitation uniaxiale. Chaque fibre suit sa propre histoire conforme au modèle ci-dessus, mais sa déformation respecte la loi de planéité de la section considérée. Des essais de validation ont été réalisés sur des éprouvettes cylindriques sous charges cycliques de compression, sur des poteaux courts sous compression - traction cyclique et sur des poteaux sous flexion alternée et effort normal constant. La comparaison modèle - essais apporte des résultats encourageants pour l'analyse des structures en béton armé sous charges cycliques.

Problem-based learning in the sciences has been demonstrated to be a successful educational approach to engage students and increase content knowledge. However, the power of collaborative learning to engage students, increase content knowledge and develop problem-solving skills in the sciences has not yet been fully researched. Collaborative learning has an enormous potential not only to foster student learning, but also to increase interest in the sciences and promote cutting-edge education strategies worldwide. Collaborative learning tactics in this study take place within the virtual learning environment entitled “GeoWorlds.” GeoWorlds is an online educational gaming program within the Second Life 3-D Teen Grid. The curriculum was developed as a collaborative, investigative and engaging program to promote learning of Earth science content. The program allows students to be submersed-in and explore different geologic time periods; enabling them to observe species and geological structures while interacting with one another to complete tasks. This study investigates the educational impact, emotional response and overall feedback of the GeoWorlds virtual learning environment on Midwest ninth graders.

While aerobic respiration is typically invoked as the dominant mass-balance sink for organic matter in the upper ocean, many other biological and abiotic processes can degrade particulate and dissolved substrates on globally significant scales. The relative strengths of these other remineralization processes - including mechanical mechanisms such as dissolution and disaggregation of sinking particles, and abiotic processes such as photooxidation - remain poorly constrained. In this thesis, I examine the biogeochemical significance of various alternative pathways of organic matter remineralization using a combination of field experiments, modeling approaches, geochemical analyses, and a new, high-throughput lipidomics method for identification of lipid biomarkers. I first assess the relative importance of particle-attached microbial respiration compared to other processes that can degrade sinking marine particles. A hybrid methodological approach - comparison of substrate-specific respiration rates from across the North Atlantic basin with Monte Carlo-style sensitivity analyses of a simple mechanistic model - suggested sinking particle material was transferred to the water column by various biological and mechanical processes nearly 3.5 times as fast as it was directly respired, questioning the conventional assumption that direct respiration dominates remineralization. I next present and demonstrate a new lipidomics method and open-source software package for discovery and identification of molecular biomarkers for organic matter degradation in large, high-mass-accuracy HPLC-ESI-MS datasets. I use the software to unambiguously identify more than 1,100 unique lipids, oxidized lipids, and oxylipins in data from cultures of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum that were subjected to oxidative stress. Finally, I present the results of photooxidation experiments conducted with liposomes - nonliving aggregations of lipids - in natural waters of the Southern Ocean. A broadband polychromatic apparent quantum yield (AQY) is applied to estimate rates of lipid photooxidation in surface waters of the West Antarctic Peninsula, which receive seasonally elevated doses of ultraviolet radiation as a consequence of anthropogenic ozone depletion in the stratosphere. The mean daily rate of lipid photooxidation (50 ± 11 pmol IP-DAG L⁻¹ d⁻¹, equivalent to 31 ± 7 [mu]g C m⁻³ d⁻¹) represented between 2 and 8 % of the total bacterial production observed in surface waters immediately following the retreat of the sea ice.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how increased global mean temperatures on Earth, induced by the increase in the luminosity of the Sun as it ages, change the types of habitable environments on the planet at local scales over the next 3 Gyr. Rising temperatures enhance silicate weathering rates, reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels to below the threshold for photosynthesis, while simultaneously pushing environments past the temperature tolerances of plant and animal species. This leads to the end of all plant life and animal life (due to reduced food, O₂ and H₂O availability, as well as higher temperatures) within the next 1 Gyr. The reduction in the extent of the remaining microbial biosphere due to increasing temperatures and rapid ocean evaporation is then modelled, incorporating orbital parameter changes until all known types of life become extinct; a maximum of 2.8 Gyr from the present. The biosignatures associated with these changes are determined and the analysis extended to Earth-like extrasolar planets nearing the end of their habitable lifetimes. In particular, the stages in the main sequence evolutions of Sun-like stars within 10 pc are evaluated and used to extrapolate the stage that an Earth-analogue planet would be at in its habitable evolution, to determine the best candidate systems for a far-future Earth-analogue biosphere, highlighting the Beta Canum Venaticorum system as a good target. One of the most promising biosignatures for a microbial biosphere on the far-future Earth (and similar planets) may be CH₄, which could reach levels in the atmosphere that make it more readily detectable than it is for a present-day Earth-like atmosphere. Determining these biosignatures will help expand the search for life to the wider range of environments that will be found as the habitable exoplanet inventory grows and planets are found at different stages in their habitable evolution.

Abstract:

The discovery of ultra-high pressure (UHP), super-reduced (SuR), and continental crust-derived minerals in ophiolitic chromitites worldwide challenged the previous hypotheses for chromitite formation and motivated the proposal of complex geodynamic models involving UHP conditions of formation for the chromite or recycling of the ophiolitic rocks down to the Mantle Transition Zone (410 – 660 km depth). This thesis investigates in detail the chromitites and the associated ophiolitic rocks from the Moa-Baracoa massif, eastern Cuba, and Bou Azzer, Morocco, with emphasis on identifying the presence of exotic minerals, interpreting their formation, and understanding the related geodynamic processes. The interaction of preexisting chromitites with evolved tholeiitic melts that triggered Fe-Ti-Zr metasomatism in the Potosí chromitites (eastern Cuba) is carefully investigated here. There is evidence of coarse granular textures and strongly variable mineralogy composed of recrystallized/neoformed Fe3+-Ti-rich chromite, Ti-rich amphibole, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, olivine, Mg-rich ilmenite, Zr-bearing oxides and silicates, and Fe-Cu-Ni sulfides. Thorough petrographic analysis coupled with the chemical composition of the mineral phases allowed to determine the sequence of mineral formation and to propose a two-stage genetic model: 1) the crystallization of an evolved MORB liquid, via fractional crystallization, produced water-rich residual melts strongly enriched in incompatible elements, and 2) batches of this evolved melt escaped and extensively reacted and metasomatized the surrounding chromitites. U/Pb dating of baddeleyite indicates that the age of the metasomatic event (134.4 ± 14 Ma) matches the age of magmatism related to ophiolite construction in eastern Cuba. The high-Al chromitites of eastern Cuba contain exotic minerals of the three categories: diamond, oriented clinopyroxene and rutile lamellae, graphite-like amorphous carbon, moissanite, native Cu and Si, Fe-Mn alloys, zircon, corundum, and quartz. The studied diamond grains are nanometric in size, located in CH4-bearing fluid inclusions within olivine, and systematically associated with a typical serpentinization mineral assemblage composed of serpentine and magnetite. Textural-mineralogical evidences indicate that nanodiamond formed during low-pressure and low-temperature serpentinization in super-reduced microenvironments (log[fO2;MPa]=−45.3; ΔlogfO2[Iron-Magnetite]=−6.5). The other SuR minerals (moissanite, graphite-like amorphous carbon, native elements, and alloys) also formed in super-reduced CH4-rich microenvironments. On the other hand, nominally UHP phases such as the clinopyroxene lamellae formed as exsolutions after the crystallization of chromite or can represent silicate melt inclusions attached to the growing chromite grains. Oriented rutile lamellae formed after the interaction of chromitites with mafic magma. Finally, continental crust-derived minerals, such as zircon, likely represent xenocrystic material derived from the subducting slab that was entrapped by the chromitite parental melts. The investigation of the Neoproterozoic Bou Azzer chromitites (Morocco) allowed the comparison with the younger Cretaceous Cuban chromitites and other Phanerozoic and Precambrian chromitites. It was possible to determine that the Bou Azzer chromitites formed in the fore-arc setting during subduction-initiation with two stages of evolution: 1) formation of intermediate-Cr chromitites from fore-arc basalts (FAB), and 2) formation of high-Cr chromitites after boninitic melts. These chromitites host inclusions of platinum group minerals and exotic minerals. The unusual mineralogy includes oriented clinopyroxene lamellae, moissanite, native Cu, diaspore, and zircon formed after chromite crystallization and post-magmatic serpentinization processes, thus completely ruling out UHP conditions. Altogether, the results of these investigations represent the first descriptions of exotic minerals in the Cuban and Moroccan ophiolites. The corresponding discussions allowed to reject hypotheses of ultra-high pressure formation or recycling for the studied chromitites and the associated ophiolitic sequences and to ultimately provide simpler formation models for the exotic minerals. Additionally, the investigation provided definitive evidence for the formation of metastable nanodiamond, and other SuR phases, during serpentinization of the oceanic lithosphere at low-pressure and low-temperature conditions. Therefore, the presence of diamond in oceanic rocks, in particular chromitites, cannot be taken as a general indication of deep mantle recycling.
En aquesta tesi doctoral s’investiguen en detall les cromitites ofiolítiques de Cuba Oriental i de Bou Azzer, Marroc, per tal d’identificar la presència de minerals exòtics d’ultra-alta pressió, formats en condicions superreduïdes o derivats de l’escorça continental, i interpretar-ne la formació. Els resultats representen la primera descripció de minerals exòtics en aquestes ofiolites i les respectives discussions han permès descartar condicions d’ultra alta pressió per les cromitites i les roques associades i proposar models de formació simples relacionats amb la serpentinització de la litosfera oceànica pels minerals exòtics. S’ha investigat la interacció de líquids toleítics evolucionats amb cromitites preexistents a la zona de Potosí, Cuba, i es proposa un model de formació en dues etapes: primer la cristal·lització d’un magma de tipus MORB genera, mitjançant cristal·lització fraccionada, magmes residuals enriquits en elements incompatibles, i posteriorment alguns d’aquests magmes residuals s’escapen i reaccionen amb les cromitites. A les cromitites ofiolítiques de Cuba Oriental s’ha pogut identificar diamant, lamel·les orientades de clinopiroxè i de rútil, fases superreduïdes (carboni amorf, moissanita, Si i Cu natiu, aliatges de Fe-Mn) i minerals derivats de l’escorça continental. Els grans de diamant són de mida nanomètrica, es troben en inclusions fluides juntament amb metà, serpentina i magnetita. Totes les evidències indiquen que els nanodiamants es van formar durant la serpentinització en ambients superreduïts en condicions de baixa pressió i temperatura, igual que la resta de minerals superreduïts. En canvi, les lamel·les de clinopiroxè es van formar com a exsolucions degut a la cristal·lització de la cromita i les lamel·les de rútil es van formar per la interacció de les cromitites amb gabres. Finalment, el zircó podria representar material de la placa subduint atrapat pels magmes dels quals va cristal·litzar posteriorment la cromita. La investigació de les cromitites neoproterozoiques de Bou Azzer ha permès determinar la seva formació en una zona d’avant-arc durant l’inici de subducció, diferenciant dos estadis de formació relacionats amb basalts d’avant-arc (FAB) i boninites. Aquestes cromitites contenen inclusions de minerals del grup del platí i de minerals exòtics com són lamel·les de clinopiroxè, moissanita, Cu natiu, diàspora i zircó, similar a les cromitites de Cuba.

Abstract Digital Earth (DE) education provides students with geospatial knowledge and skills to locate, measure, and solve geographic problems on Earth’s surface. The rapid development of geospatial technology has promoted a new vision of DE to embrace data infrastructure, social networks, citizen science, and human processes on Earth. The high demand for a geospatial workforce also calls for an ever-changing, diverse form of learning experiences. Limited efforts, however, have been made regarding DE education to adapt to this changing landscape, with most interventions falling short of expectations. This chapter gives an overview of current teaching and learning structures with DE technologies. Successes and obstacles for K-12 education are explored first, followed by classroom technologies and experiential learning and outreach exercises such as academic certificates and internships in higher education. Taking the geospatial intelligence model from the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) as an example, recent advancements in DE education for professional careers are described via its geospatial competencies, hierarchical frameworks, and credentials. In alignment with the principles of DE development, future DE education calls for an integrated learning framework of open data, real-world context, and virtual reality for better preparedness of our students in the geospatial world.

Abstract:

AbstractRice (Oryza sativa L.) is life for more than half of the human population on Earth. In the history of rice breeding, two major yield breakthroughs or leaps occurred, which phenomenally revolutionized rice breeding: the Green Revolution in the 1960s and hybrid technology in the 1970s. However, the fruits of these technologies have not spread globally to all rice-growing areas, especially African countries, for diverse reasons. It is estimated that at least 50% more rice yield is needed to feed the anticipated nine billion people by 2050. This clearly warrants another breakthrough in rice. It is apparent that the currently used conventional and molecular marker-assisted methods need to be updated with multi-pronged approaches involving innovative cutting-edge technologies for achieving the next breakthrough in rice. Here, we attempt to discuss the exciting avenues for the next advances in rice breeding by exploiting cutting-edge technologies.

Abstract:

AbstractThe chapter summarizes the new results of the Bàsura Revisited Interdisciplinary Research Project. The integrated interpretation of recent archaeological data and palaeosurface laser scans, along with geoarchaeological, sedimentological, geochemical and archaeobotanical analyses, geometric morphometrics and digital photogrammetry, enabled us to reconstruct some activities that an Upper Palaeolithic human group led inside a deep cave in northern Italy within a single exploration event about 14 ka calBP. A complex and diverse track records of humans and other animals shed light on individual- and group-level behaviour, social relationship and mode of exploration of the uneven terrain. Five individuals, composed of two adults, an adolescent and two children, entered the cave barefoot lightening the way with a bunch of wooden sticks (Pinus t. sylvestris/mugo bundles). While proceeding, humans were forced to move on all fours, and the traces they left represent the first report of crawling locomotion in the global human ichnological record. Anatomical details recognizable in the crawling traces show that no clothing was present between limbs and the trampled sediments. Our study demonstrates that very young children (the youngest about 3 years old) were active members of the human groups, even in apparently dangerous and social activities, shedding light on behavioural habits of Upper Palaeolithic populations.

Abstract:

This paper deals with an application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) tools in order to perform and optimize the settings phase of the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) data set for the endgame phase of a Kinetic Impactor (KI) targeting a medium-size Near Earth Object (NEO). A coupled optimization of the GNC settings and of the GC-oriented design of the Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS) is also proposed. The illustration of the developed principles is made considering the NEOShield study frame.

Abstract:

Climate change is becoming increasingly unpredictable as the climate dries up, protected areas grown with vegetables are growing every day, but farmers in this area are facing a number of problems, including pests of green cucumber lice (Aphis gossypii), the common thrips. (Thrips tabaci), the common red spider (Tetranychus urticae). Scientists around the world are conducting studies to propose solutions. The use of material that allows the passage of a larger amount of UV rays inhibits the development of aphid colonies. The dual application of Lecanicillium longisporum for the simultaneous suppression of green lice of cucumbers and powdery mildew has been demonstrated. Beauveria bassiana preparations are highly effective against tripe. For a future assured with high quality vegetables, it is necessary to develop as diverse methods as possible to control pests, so that each farmer can choose the method that suits him, both technologically and economically. The methods should be applicable in the most diverse areas of the earth. We must learn to model not only favorable climatic conditions but to create a healthy and viable ecosystem, so the greenhouses will generate profit for the farmer, fresh and tasty products for us.

Abstract:

Innovation in the changing undergraduate engineering curriculum mandates efficient management of interdisciplinary capstone senior design projects. This effort requires collaboration and management by students and faculty from multiple disciplines, and provides students an opportunity to learn from other engineering systems. In addition, this approach will i) emphasize problem solving and creative thinking; ii) provide first-hand experience in generating a management plan; iii) expose students to multiple engineering and management disciplines, and to work in diverse, multi-cultural teams; and iv) prepare students with a keen understanding of the interdisciplinary environment necessary for success. The senior design project (SDP) presented is based on the interdisciplinary collaboration of electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering students and faculty to design an integrated high altitude balloon system that would reach an altitude of 100,000 feet and return safely to earth. This paper presents the modes by which all the above issues in SDP are addressed, results obtained and improvements planned for the next interdisciplinary projects.

Abstract:

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. The Mesoamerican Reef contains the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. However, its health is threatened, so there is a need for a management and sustainable conservation. Key to this is knowing the economic value of the ecosystem. “Mainstreaming the value of natural capital into policy decision-making is vital” The value of environmental and natural resources reflects what society is willing to pay for a good or service or to conserve natural resources. Conventional economic approaches tended to view value only in terms of the willingness to pay for raw materials and physical products generated for human production and consumption (e.g. fish, mining materials, pharmaceutical products, etc.). As recognition of the potential negative impacts of human activity on the environment became more widespread, economists began to understand that people might also be willing to pay for other reasons beyond the own current use of the service (e.g. to protect coral reefs from degradation or to know that coral reefs will remain intact in the future). As a result of this debate, Total Economic Value (TEV) became the most widely used and commonly accepted framework for classifying economic benefits of ecosystems and for trying to integrate them into decision-making. This report estimates the economic value of the following goods and services provided by the MAR's coral reefs: Tourism & Recreation, Fisheries, Shoreline protection. To our knowledge, the inclusion of non-use values in the economic valuation of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System is novel, which makes the study more comprehensive.
