Abstract

This thesis and the accompanying papers demonstrates the development of a number of bridging tools which have been successfully applied to the marine environment. Specifically, how a problem structuring framework and ecosystem service approaches have been developed for specific application in the marine environment and how a suite of ecosystem service indicators and economic valuation methods have been applied to identify, assess and value changes in marine ecosystem service provision. Integration of these approaches is discussed within the context of holistic marine management. An original conceptual framework is presented which allows for the integration of these tools, enabling researchers and managers to bridge the divide between natural and social science research and thus contribute towards more sustainable management of the marine environment in the future. This thesis concludes with a critique of these major research themes, including suggestions for further scientific study and further use of the information generated in marine management.
