Perception of ecosystem services in and around the Pomorie Lagoon
Perceptions of ecosystem services in and around the Pomorie Lagoon” is a research activity conducted by Tour du Valat, Green Balkans NGO and the Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation. The Pomorie Lake wetland complex, located along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, offers a multitude of benefits to society and its well-being. As the benefits of ecosystem services have not been previously studied, there is little awareness of the socio-economic value of the area and the potential benefits of restoring it. It was therefore essential to understand the perception of people on the services of the area and who are the beneficiaries of the ecosystem services. This information is essential as the social, political, economic and ecological factors play a role in how benefits are valued and distributed.
