|a The Tampa Bay Ecosystem Services Demonstration
Project (TBESDP) is part of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s Ecosystem Services Research Program.
The principal objectives of TBESDP are to (1)
quantify the ecosystem services of the Tampa Bay watershed,
(2) determine the value of ecosystem services to
society, (3) predict the supply of ecosystem services under
future scenarios of population growth and climate change,
and (4) apply this knowledge through models and tools that
will support the best informed environmental decisions
possible. The scope and complexity of this project required
intensive effort to establish which services can be quantified
by applying existing models, data, and scientific
literature and which services will require supporting
research. Research priorities were assessed by: (1) developing
and refining conceptual models of major ecosystems
in the Tampa Bay region, (2) gathering input from stakeholders
about the relative importance and values of various
ecosystem services, (3) preparing and reviewing a bibliometric
analysis of the volume of scientific literature relevant
to the ecosystems and services of interest, and (4)
evaluating an integrated analysis of importance, value,
and availability of scientific information. This analysis led
us to focus on two research priorities, seagrass-habitat
functions as support for fishery production, and wetlands as
regulators of water quality. |
