There have been no studies to date that address the broad economic relationship between
Oregon’s estuary and marine ecosystems and the economic health of Oregon’s coastal communities.
This paper reports on the first phase of an economic analysis linking marine and marine influenced
ecological conditions to the general coastal economy by exploring those ecosystem services that
connect economy and ecology. We present the general concept of ecosystem services and
discuss qualitatively their contribution to the coastal economy of Oregon. Specifically, we provide
the background ecological economics framework in which the role of ecosystem services is assessed
in its support of the coastal economy. This includes describing the relationship between the
long-term sustainable management of coastal resources (natural capital) and the resilience
of the Oregon coastal economy. The paper incorporates concrete data, examples, and
discussions of coastal Oregon conditions including thecoastal economy and marine environment, and
past and current fisheries. The report lays the foundation for a further and more in-depth analysis
which will explore a thorough ecosystem service valuation for the Oregon coast.
