The MEPF funded scoping study by PML (MEPF 08/P77), sets out a framework for identifying and valuing ecosystem services and applies this to a case study in the Eastern English Channel. We propose to take this framework and expand it by adding socio-economic issues to it and testing both these and ecosystem services in a more detailed case study application and further consultation with decision makers.
