    Resumen

Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and marine eco-tourism, are two sectors that are entirely supported by coastal ecosystems. In addition, these coastal and marine habitats contribute to culture and identity, support agriculture, mitigate the effects of climate change, provide educational opportunities, and safeguard sacred sites. These ecosystem services are currently undervalued, yet their contribution toa healthy planet, income generation, national economies, and a positive climate change agenda is significant – and cannot by substituted.
