Designing indicators for assessing the effects of marine protected areas on coral reef ecosystems: A multidisciplinary standpoint (2005, unknown): “Coral reefs have been estimated to provide each year roughlye 30 billion in net benefits in goods and services to world economies, including tourism, fisheries and coastal protection (Cesar et al. 2003).”
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: an assessment of coral reef fishes in the US Pacific Islands (2013, background): “Financially, coral reef ecosystems support commercial fisheries estimated to be worth over $5 billion per year (Cesar et al. 2003).”
Beyond carbon: Conceptualizing payments for ecosystem services in blue forests on carbon and other marine and coastal ecosystem services (2013, background): “8 billion (net present value in 2003) annually in total net benefits (Cesar et al., 2003).”
Climate change and the future for coral reef fishes (2008, background): “Coral reefs also generate significant tourism revenue for some countries (Cesar et al. 2003).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “Worldwide, the goods and services that coral reefs provide are estimated to be worth almost u.s.$30 billion yr−1 (cesar et al. 2003). sustained and ongoing climate-induced coral bleaching will significantly diminish the value of these goods and services, resulting in serious consequences for people…”
Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “Globally, the economic net benefit from coral reefs has a value of US$30 billion yr−1 (Cesar et al. 2003) and almost US $350,000 yr−1 for the value of the potential services of an average hectare (De Groot et al. 2012).”
Mapping the global value and distribution of coral reef tourism (2017, background): “They have values, both monetary and non-monetary, for fisheries, coastal protection, genetic diversity, and more [52,53].”
Cold Water Coral Reefs: Out of Sight-No Longer Out of Mind (2004, unknown): “To use tropical coral reefs as an example, it is estimated that 60 per cent of reefs are seriously at threat from human activities (Cesar et al., 2003).”
Climate Change Futures: Health, Ecological and Economic Dimensions (2004, methodology): “This analysis is based upon a 50-year extrapolation at a discount rate of 3% (Cesar et al. 2003).”
Degradation and restoration of coral reefs: Experience in Okinawa, Japan (2011, background): “Cesar et al. (2003) estimated the economic value of goods and services provided by coral reefs of the world to be roughly US$29.8 billion per year.”
Noise negatively affects foraging and antipredator behaviour in shore crabs (2013, background): “paucity of attention on invertebrates is not commensurate with their abundance and diversity (theymake up 60% ofmarine species, for example), their importance ecologically (as essential components of food webs) and economically (especially in light of changing fisheries), or their value in terms of ”
