It has been well established that coastal zones in Latin America are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures including climate change impacts (e.g. sea-level rise, increased storm intensity, altered hydrological regimes, etc.). The twin challenge of maintaining human security (often via protection using dikes) and sustaining coastal ecosystems and the services they provide has been identified as a major issue for coastal management (Nicholls et al. 2010). This study was motivated by the dual observation that there are very few estimates of the local costs of climate change in developing countries and that the few studies that do exist rarely take into account the non-market value of ecosystem services. Using a case study of a coa...
