Coastal Capital: Economic Valuation of Coastal Ecosystems in the Caribbean

The Coastal Capital series provides decision-makers in the Caribbean with information and tools that link the health of coastal ecosystems. WRI and its partners have conducted economic valuation studies of coral reefs and mangroves at national and subnational levels in 5 countries: Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia, Belize, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica and are using the results to identify and build support for policies that help to ensure healthy coastal ecosystems and sustainable economies.
