• What change in decision-making do you seek?• Who can make that change happen? • When will decisions be made?• What info do they need / seek? • How can ES info help?
LESSON # 1: Establish Goals, Be Specific
LESSON # 2: Prioritize process
1. Credible2. Legitimate (unbiased, inclusive)3. Salient (relevant, timely)
LESSON # 3: Make outputs relevant
• Relevant ecosystem services• Suitable outputs (biophysical, econ)• Appropriate scale• Scenarios• Post-processing analyses
Activity
• How can you enhance credibility, salience and legitimacy of InVEST results?
• Which ecosystem services are most relevant?• Which ecosystem service outputs are suitable?• What scale is most appropriate? • What scenarios would you compare?
Scenarios can hone your message
• Bermuda’s reefs worth– $722 million p.a.– 10-17% of GDP
But what would be costs and benefits of new shipping channels?
Why use scenarios?
• Identify tradeoffs• Consider new policies• ‘Future-proof’ policies• Air conflicts, develop consensus
• Scenario Guidance• Scenario Case Studies• InSEAM • Scenario Generator• InVEST linked to IDRISI Land Change Modeler

An assessment framework
1. Secure Government or Institutional Support
2. Conduct Biophysical Assessment
Demonstrate potential economic efficiencies and social benefits of PWS
1. Show current ES status2. Identify where to distribute payments
3. Predict how ES will change under PWS4. Prioritize significant land management alternatives
3. Develop Governance
4. Identify Service Buyers
1. Identify geographic areas of current ES provision2. Identify geographic areas of potential ES provision
3. Assess ES returns of management options
5. Identify Service Providers
Identify where ES are delivered
6. Set Prices or Payments Provide ES values as base for negotiation
7. Institutional Assessment
8. Assess and Develop Capacity
9. Define Success Inform ES target levels
10. Determine Contract and Payment Types
11. Monitoring and Evaluation Inform design of monitoring program
12. Adapt and Scale Up1. Assess potential ES returns of alternative
management plans2. Identify where to focus new PWS programs
