Abstract | This research aims to contribute to the promotion of the wider value of UK shellfish waters, using Chichester Harbour as a case study. By presenting a narrative of the wider value and ecosystem services provided by shellfish beds, and modelling the benefits of water quality improvements for the provisioning services of shellfish beds, it is possible to demonstrate that it is worth investing in better water quality and shellfish productivity to obtain wide societal benefits. |
