CMap Description
Socio-economic drivers result in human activities that may intentionally or unintentionally exert pressures on the environment, and lead to changes in the state of the reef ecosystem, including the physical and chemical environment and reef life. Changes in the quality and functioning of the reef ecosystem have an impact on the provision of ecosystem services, which directly or indirectly benefit human well-being by fulfilling many human needs. The drivers that benefit from the ecosystem services may, or may not be the same drivers that exert pressures on the reef ecosystem. Humans make decisions in response to the impacts on ecosystem services or their perceived value. Responses may seek to control socio-economic drivers through policies or economic decisions that directly influence sectors.Citations
