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
Cascais and 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
recreational and tourist activities in Cascais. An expert survey was conducted to
obtain more precise data, the results of which cannot yet be presented.
