Night lights versus conservation dreams
Nature-based noctourism includes all forms of nature-based tourism at night, for which natural darkness is critical to both the visitor experience and the protection of cultural and natural resources. Yet, artificial light at night is a known landscape scale pollutant that hinders these tourism activities. Even protected areas are not immune to the effects of light pollution, including on-site and nearby community lighting. Efforts to prevent or …
The global value of coastal wetlands for storm protection
Coastal wetlands provide a range of valuable ecosystem services, including protecting coastal communities from storms. We estimated for the first time the global value of these storm protection services for all coastal wetlands for both damages avoided and lives saved. We used the historical tracks of 1,014 tropical cyclones since 1902 that recorded property damage and/or human casualties in 71 countries/regions. We used Bayesian and OLS statisti…

Evaluating the Compliance of Sea Turtle Light Ordinances in Florida Using Remote Sensing
Satellite-based remote sensing has essentially been absent from processes evaluating compliance with environmental policy. Through a case study of the observance of sea turtle light ordinances in Florida, this study seeks to demonstrate that remotely sensed data can be beneficial in evaluation of environmental policy compliance. As a means to increase the successful sea turtle nesting rate, 21 counties and several other municipalities adapted pol…
The Value of Coastal Wetlands for Hurricane Protection
Coastal wetlands reduce the damaging effects of hurricanes on coastal communities. A regression model using 34 major US hurricanes since 1980 with the natural log of damage per unit gross domestic product in the hurricane swath as the dependent variable and the natural logs of wind speed and wetland area in the swath as the independent variables was highly significant and explained 60% of the variation in relative damages. A loss of 1 ha of wetla…
