Resumo(s)
Anthropogenic pressures threaten the provision of marine and coastal ecosystem
services (MCES) that are essential for human well-being. Ecosystem-based marine
spatial management that is informed by mapping and assessing MCES and
pressures is needed. Using an expert-based matrix approach based on literature
findings, this study maps and assesses the potential capacity of MCES provision in
Sines. The results show that provisioning services are potentially provided at high
levels, whereas regulatory and cultural services are only provided by certain
habitats. The potential pressures were identified, which relate mainly to the
maritime-industrial complex in Sines. An expert survey was conducted to obtain
more precise data, the results of which cannot yet be presented.
