“…Moreover, marine and coastal CES assessments can potentially be more relevant if they go beyond intrinsic and instrumental values, and focus also on relational values (Chan et al 2016) that are behind peoples' kin and stewardship relationships with nature (Chapin et al 2010). Such integrated valuation assessments can be part of, e.g., ecosystem-based management and marine spatial planning approaches (Lillebø et al 2017), and thus inform policies that address the sustainability challenges we face today (Haberl et al 2009). …”

“…While provisioning services provide direct inputs into a blue economy (e.g. fish, water, plants), regulating and supporting services are just as crucial, as they provide for healthy aquatic ecosystems that support the economic activities associated with provisioning services (Lillebø et al, 2017). Equally important to blue growth are the cultural services that aquatic ecosystems provide, including tourism and educational opportunities as well as the cultural significance of the ecosystems for many coastal communities (Rodrigues and Kruse, 2017).…”

El calentamiento del Océano Índico resulta ser el mayor contribuyente en línea con la tendencia general de la temperatura media mundial de la superficie del mar, al tiempo que evidencia signos de sobrepesca, que parecen estar aumentando. Se han vertido en él alrededor de 5-6 millones de toneladas de petróleo -alrededor del 40% del derrame total de petróleo en las aguas del mundo-, mientras que las presiones humanas (población, infraestructura urbana, etc.) ponen en peligro cada vez más los ecosistemas marinos subyacentes, que sustentan la pesca de la región y otras amenazas incluyen un aumento acelerado del nivel del mar en él, que representa una amenaza inminente para los estados costeros. Teniendo en cuenta lo mencionado, esta nota aborda el tema de la región del Océano Índico / IOR, una de las ubicaciones estratégicas relacionadas con la paz, la seguridad y el comercio, desde la perspectiva de su papel con respecto al cambio climático y las acciones y reacciones de los países a su alrededor. Se concluye que la contaminación marina es un problema grave, que causa el deterioro de los recursos en el Océano Índico y aunque los países de la zona invierten una gran cantidad de dinero para combatirlo, ello no resuelve la falta de conciencia entre las masas. Los esfuerzos de las organizaciones regionales, aunque son notables, parecen superficiales y carecen de un impacto significativo, mientras que también se observa la necesidad de innovación en los métodos de implementación para reducir / reciclar los desechos, minimizar los derrames de petróleo y monitorear la vida acuática.

“…In the EU context, aquaculture is one of the five maritime economic activities prioritized in the Blue Growth Strategy (European Commission 2012a, ) and linking marine/coastal ES with the different blue economy sectors is key to accomplish a sustainable blue growth (Lillebø et al . ). Furthermore, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for 2030 acknowledges that sustainable aquaculture might contribute to support the sustainable use and conservation of oceans, seas and marine resources (SDG 14 – life below water) and offer ample opportunities to reduce hunger and foster well‐being (SDG 2 – zero hunger; SDG 3 – good health and well‐being).…”

“…The importance of coastal ecosystems for human well-being Marine and coastal ecosystems provide a wealth of benefits that span all three categories of ES identified in the last version (v5.1) of CICES: (i) provisioning, (ii) regulation and maintenance and (iii) cultural services (Haines-Young & Potschin 2017;Lillebø et al 2017). Coastal ES, in particular, are used by over one-third of the human population inhabiting coastal areas and small islands.…”

Conceptual frameworks to assess and valuate Ecosystem Services (ES) are rapidly becoming important tools for ecosystem‐based management, as they support transdisciplinary approaches to ecological economics and expand current asset boundaries to include natural and social capital. An important area where such ES assessment frameworks could become relevant management tools is aquaculture. Aquaculture activities are an interconnected part of the ecosystem in which they exist and, under certain circumstances, can support many of the same fundamental ES provided by nature. But, in most cases, aquaculture typically increases provisioning services at the expense of the other services (regulation & maintenance and cultural services). To understand the capacity of ES valuation methods to expose existing ES trade‐offs in areas under aquaculture development, this study provides a literature review of publications that assessed and valuated ES delivered and/or impacted by aquaculture. In general, it seems that certain types of aquaculture do negatively impact overall ES delivery (e.g. intensive mangrove shrimp farming in Asia), yet certain modes of production (e.g. integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture) and cultured species (e.g. algae and certain bivalves) can have a positive impact on ES, not only improving provisioning services but also regulation and maintenance services and, potentially, cultural services. ES valuation methods provide important data that facilitate discussion among stakeholders and policymakers and should be included in marine and coastal management planning processes to foster a more sustainable aquaculture.
