Impact/Purpose:
The intent of this presentation is to introduce coral reef managers and other potential collaborators in the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico to the Final Ecosystem Goods and Services (FEGS) Community Scoping Tool in order to identify possible opportunities for applying the tool in a coral reef case study.
Description:
The Final Ecosystem Goods and Services (FEGS) Community Scoping Tool is a structured decision making tool that allows community-level decision makers to take a transparent, repeatable, and defendable approach for identifying the highest priority EGS for their management actions. The structured decision making tool helps them explicitly identify and prioritize those benefiting from EGS and the EGS most relevant to those beneficiaries. This tool is designed to be applied in the early scoping stages of the decision-making process and used in an iterative fashion with input from stakeholders.
