These data were generated under the Inter-American Development Bank’s Ecosystem-based Development for Andros Island, The Bahamas Project which applied an innovative spatial analysis tool (a suite of ecosystem service models housed in the InVEST open-source software) to put a value on ecosystem services in Andros based on their contribution to productive sectors (tourism, fisheries) and basic services (coastal protection, water). The models are populated with a variety ecological, geophysical, economic and social data. Beach erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, drainage or high winds. Such areas can present a concern if loss of habitat and human infrastructure is significant. They are also not easily remedied and worsened by climate change. |
