Ecosystem services are jargons? Challenging issues in translating them into marine

What is the Ecosystem Service?Marine
Benefits people obtain from ecosystems (MA, 2005)Marine
• How do the public understand the term of “ecosystem service”? Or Are they familiar with the term as much as other services by humans?

• Acknowledgement and Payment on Ecosystem Services vs. Human Services
We have witnessed
• Cared by Experts group, mostly Scientists
• Weak understanding of Marine Ecosystem works
• Political driver, rhetoric rather than enforceable
• Not Common Language
• Less tangible connection to incomes and societies
In the meantime, Clues on Anticipatory Future

Status Quo : Most of experts are staying at Assessment
Somethings are confusing in their researches.
Overestimation of several services, ex. purification
Assessment-valuation, stock-services etc

Promising Clue : Rocketing MES researches since mid 2000s
1989
(Liquete et al, 2013)
(Nam, 2015)
Status Quo : MES, less highlighted in SDGs
(Nam & Kang, 2009)
Promising Clue : Striving for Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning
(Belgium gov. 2012)(Chang, Yoo, Nam & Kang et al, 2007)(MOF 2011)
(UNESCO-IOC, 2009)
• CVM application for MES valuation of Saemanguem area• Very hard to translate terms into common language
Status Quo : Ecosystem Language, not easily understood
Promising Clue : Efforts to Re-alignment of Generic Environmental Charge mechanism such as User fees, environmental taxation, environmental charge, compensation on impaired environment etc
Status Quo : Economic Level does function as a Primary Indicator for galvanizing eco-concern
Modified from Nam & Kang (2002)
Promising Clue : SD & EBM, transformed from a global discourse to commitments by most states’ participation to legally-binding or voluntary international mechanism
Jargon to Common Language
1. Building Concrete “Theoretical Framework” Addressing their issues : definition, function & structure, services
inventory, assessment & valuation methods, etc
2. Creation of Communication Language Nature’s initiative : science communication
Eg. environmental carrying capacity alcohol tolerance
3. From Text (description) to Context (transcription)
MES payment value-embeded (surplus-reflecting) charge system
by using conventional/familiar terms (fees, charges, taxes, deposit,
compensation etc)
4. Accumulation of Episodic Evidences & Small-scale Successes (Quantity to Quality Transition)
Informative Materials (maps, brochures) on dynamics of Ecological & Economic Values
Linking ecosystem works (change) to socio-economic benefits (change)
E.g Masan bay, Suncheon Bay, Xiamen, Batangas bay etc
5. Valuation-based Decision Statements on a single issue/project or small-scale areas or a very controversial issue Economic feasibility assessment, environment impact assessment etc
6. Incremental/Iterative attitude for shifting legal & institutional paradigm
More focus on decision-makers than lay people at preparatory stage
Do not expect “a single shot success”
