Environmental Economics for Marine Ecosystem Management Toolkit
Luke authored a toolkit on environmental economic methods for marine ecosystem management for the GEF Large Marine Ecosystems Learning Exchange and Resource Network (GEF LME:LEARN) project. GEF LME:LEARN is a GEF-UNDP-IOC/UNESCO project designed to improve global ecosystem-based governance of Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) and their coasts by generating knowledge, building capacity, harnessing public and private partners and supporting south-to-south learning and north-to-south learning.
The purpose of this toolkit is to show how environmental economic methods can be used to produce information to support decision-making in the context of LME, Marine Protected Areas (MPA), Integrated Coastal Management (ICM), Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and climate change adaptation. Specifically, it is designed to help a broad audience of practitioners, managers, government officials, private sector managers, NGOs, and statisticians to understand the available environmental economic tools and how the information generated can be used to inform the decisions that they make.
