Abstract

Pari Island is a tourism area and the number of tourists has increased each year. It decreases the quality of the coastal ecosystem. However, major funding is required to maintain the quality. This study using literature review explains the value of ecosystem services and the PES scheme. The total willingness to pay, that explains the value of ecosystem services, is higher than operational budget. It indicates PES scheme can be used as an alternative way to cover operational cost. The PES scheme that can be implemented on Pari Island is between local forum as ecosystem services provider and tourists of Pari Island as user. This research contributes to the development of PES to protect the coastal ecosystem of Pari Island. This study also informs the importance of beach for Pari Island and the great negative economic impact if the beach is damage.

Highlights

  • Coastal and marine ecosystems, comprised of mangroves, seagrass beds, coral reefs, and sandy beaches, provide ecosystem services which benefit to people, including provisioning, regulating, cultural services, and supporting services [1]

  • The aim of this study is to understand how to estimate the value of beaches to the visitor of Pari Island and design the payment for ecosystem services (PES) scheme to improve the quality of coastal ecosystem on Pari Island.This study contributes to theecosystem services literature due toadifferent site, estimates the economic value to support the development of PES scheme, and the scheme design of PES can be implemented by stakeholders

  • CVM works best when the ecosystem services are close to a market [12].CVM is a stated preference approach to the valuation of amenities, and other behaviors related to environment and natural resources

Summary

Introduction

Coastal and marine ecosystems, comprised of mangroves, seagrass beds, coral reefs, and sandy beaches, provide ecosystem services which benefit to people, including provisioning, regulating, cultural services, and supporting services [1]. While for some ecosystem services (e.g. food and raw material) market exists and function well, many ecosystem services are considered invaluable by the market system Those ecosystems are currently being threatened from anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic [2, 3].Based on this backdrop, payment for ecosystem services (PES) can be used to protect the environment[4]. Pari Island, located in Kepulauan Seribu, is one of the beach tourism areas. Because of this reason, market-based solutions for conservation, including PES can be one source to support the financial needs [9]
