7. Project Snapshot • Region • East Asia-Pacific (Philippines, Indonesia, Pacific Islands) • Duration • Five years • Effective date: 1 October 2013 • Closing date: 30 September 2018 • Current Financing ($10.4m) • Cash: US $4.5 m (GEF) & AUD $2.0 m (UQ) • In-Kind: $3.9 m • The University of Queensland • Project Executing Agency • Research Partner

8. What will CCRES do? Mission: To engage government and coastal communities in bringing whole-of-system thinking to the design of local economies founded on a mutually reinforcing relationship between ecosystem health and economic performance This gives a material rationale for decision-makers to sustain coastal ecosystems and the locally-accrued benefits that they contribute to human wellbeing and prosperity

9. What challenge is CCRES addressing? Discounting the future Limited understanding of trade-offs Lack of business acumen and innovation

10. Challenge: • In coastal communities, local businesses frequently degrade the natural resources on which they rely • At the same time, alternative livelihoods schemes rarely succeed in becoming financially self-sustaining, often set up by those with little or no business expertise, making supply-driven products that do not consider demand or market access • Both problems stem from ignoring the value chain that extends from the natural resource, via the producer, all the way to the end-consumer.

11. So CCRES: • Targets Investigations to quantify, model, clarify and map ES role & value and inform local communities (and Government) • Integrates ES information with business practices---assessed to strengthen those practices & their value chains from the resource base to the consumer • Targets communication & ownership—seeking +Δ in routine practice & behavior

12. Project Components Dissemination & outreach C.3 Engaging, persuading, enabling Local Community and Government Norms, attitudes, policy Livelihoods, food security C.2 Integrating, securing, monetising Business Enterprises Environmental Impacts ± C.1 Natural Capital Measuring, valuing, mapping Ecosystem services

13. Component I“Quantifying the value and market potential of coral reef and mangrove ecosystem services”Objective:To provide CCRES technical input on economic, social, natural and management science“Measuring, valuing and mapping”

14. Measuring Ecosystem Services • Targeted Investigations fill information gaps on the roles that ES play in a specific community • Coastal protection • Fisheries • Tourism • Carbon sequestration

15. Ecosystem Service Benefits: Effect of reef health on fisheries productivity “What is the value of a management action relative to cost?” Productive Degraded

16. Why value ecosystem services? • National wealth accounts (alongside other forms of capital, e.g., minerals, human, agriculture) • Local stakeholders better understand how a change in ecosystem health affects their daily lives • Incorporate value into Marine Spatial Planning to improve benefits to people and reduce conflict

17. Effects of governance on the flow of ecosystem service benefits “Who gets what, and why?”

18. Reconciling trade-offs among ecosystem services “How do we get optimal outcomes for multiple objectives?” Marine Spatial Planning
