The final two chapters of this part on values, by James et al. , provide case-study examples of techniques and methods for assessing the economic values of marine social-ecological systems, including direct and indirect uses. Part V examines the governance issues of marine social-ecological systems, largely using a case study, contrast and compare, approach. The first three chapters (Springer, Giannini, and Makino and Matsuda) provide case studies of the drivers of change in marine social-ecological systems in Alaska, Guatemala, and the Asia-Pacific-Japan region, respectively, and the governance responses to these changes.
