Abstract

One major driving force behind the loss of more than 50% of the world's mangroves during the last decades, is the inability among economists to recognize and value all natural products and ecological services produced by this ecosystem. In part, this trend of undervaluation is due to the difficulty involved in placing a monetary value on mangrove goods and services that are: (1) not traded on markets and thus do not have a directly observable value; and (2) harvested or enjoyed outside of the mangrove system and therefore not readily acknowledged as generated by this system.
