CMap Description
Social care centers contribute to landscape changes, including impervious surfaces (altering , rates of non-point source runoff), or to the need for physical changes to the coastline (such as shoreline armoring). Care centers may benefit from shoreline protection, as well as indirectly from other ecosystem services that improve the well-being of other sectors, such as tourism & recreation, which drive coastal development. City planning can control numbers and locations of care centers.Citations

Economic Markets & Policy: Create Alternative Livelihoods For Fishermen | Many fishermen rely on their catch as their family�s main source of income. When restrictions are placed on fishing it can be to the economic detriment of these fishermen. By creating alternative means of earning income for these fishermen, social and economic goals are accomplished while decreasing pressures on natural fish populations. These alternatives often come in the form of aquaculture, which helps to still meet the demand for fish. Another common alternative is tourism; fishermen can use their knowledge and equipment such as boats to accommodate tourism and recreational fishing. | All Islands Coral Reef Committee.
