The project “Environmental strategy and sustainable economic tools applied to the fluviolitoral landscapes: risk, natural capital and ecosystem services (Eco2Tools)", is coordinated by Dr. Yolanda Picó, and is composed of the subprojects "Methodologies to evaluate the natural capital and risk analysis in the preservation of ecosystem services of fluviolitoral landscapes (ECO2SUPPORT)" whose main researchers are Drs. Eugenia Gimeno and Vicente Andreu, and "Risk analysis and environmental-economic reliability in the elimination of contaminants. Design of a decision support system (ECO2RISK-DSS)” whose principal investigator is Dr. Yolanda Picó.
Eco2TOOLS arises of the need of integrating the evaluation of the biochemical-physical risk, with GIS approaches and the economic valuation of ecosystems. This triple dimension provide will us information of the real state of the natural capital and the different existing ecosystem services. At the same time it allows to carry out the correct evaluation of the study area under a multidisciplinary approach. Eco2Tools will allow decision makers and managers of this natural area to establish lines of action to ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem services provided by the l'Albufera Natural Park.
