Waterfront Property
Illustration of a healthy stream ecosystem with ephemeral pools.
Stream 3D: healthy
Illustration of a stream with stream bank erosion, poor water quality, and poor air quality.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the ecosystem of the southern portion of the Florida peninsula.
South Florida peninsula habitat
Conceptual diagram illustrating what a waterfront owner can do to protect their property from climate change. Existing structures can be elevated in low-lying areas, and eco-friendly living shorelines can be implemented, to lessen climate change effects like flooding.
Elevation and Living Shoreline
Conceptual diagram illustrating different monitoring activities implemented on Assateague Island to track changing habitats. Monitoring activities - which are habitat specific - include water quality, seagrass area, salt marsh nekton survey, surface elevation table, plover nests and fledgling success, upland elevation change, shoreline rate of change, and beach topography.

Triptych comparison of a river mouth, showing a pristine environment (left) with subsequent sediment, nutrients, and toxin inputs leading to an unhealthy and unproductive environment with a hardened shoreline (right).
Estuary 3D: River Mouth Triptych
Comparison illustration of sea level rise in an estuary, showing shoreline erosion, immersion, and changes within the river mouth.

Alkaline chemicals are added to mitigate acid mine tailings. When water is added to the alkaline chemicals, the exothermic (heat releasing) reaction burned through the cubitainer.
Exothermic reaction
This doser times the mechanical addition of alkaline chemicals to acidic mine tailings to mitigate the acidity.

The ocean provides a wealth of services that directly benefit human well-being. Over half the worlds population lives within 100 miles of a coastline, and 20 of the 30 largest cities in the world are coastal. There is increasing access to remote areas, and there are important connections between human well-being and the marine environment. The most widely recognized marine ecosystem services are discussed.
