Payments for Ecosystem Services: Getting Started in Marine and Coastal Ecosystems - A Primer
A how-to manual compiled by Forest Trends and the Katoomba Group used for explaining to communities and NGOs what payments for ecosystem services (PES) are and how PES deals work in the marine/coastal environment. The primer is divided into 3 sections, the first reviews basic PES concepts, the second section details a step-by-step approach to developing marine PES deals, and the third section outlines opportunities, risks and ideal conditions for poverty reduction. It has been used in Mexico and Vietnam.
