Abstract/Summary:
This paper discusses ongoing research that focuses on developing such a method and its application to restoration of coastal wetlands within an estuary watershed system. The research addresses three important issues related to valuing wetlands, or other natural resources, within a single watershed: spatial aspects of value, cost-effective methodologies for valuation, and transferability of methods and values.
