1. The Natural Capital Project  Help people understand what we get from nature  Use that understanding to inform decisions

2. Filling the Gap

3. Most Policy Windows Medium spatial scale Short timeline Standard approach Most Policy Windows Medium spatial scale Short timeline Standard approach

4. With sea level rise? With expanded aquaculture? With nearshore habitat restoration? How might a range of benefits people get from nature change: InVEST evaluates alternative futures

5. How might shoreline armoring affect Erosion/flooding from storm events?

6. How might shoreline armoring affect Erosion/flooding from storm events? Coastal and marine recreation? Nursery habitat for key species? Fisheries?

7. InVEST Applicable anywhere Flexible data requirements Flexible scale of inquiry Scenario-based Relevant to many kinds of decisions Biophysical and socio-economic outputs Biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services

8. Choices Change in Management, Climate Stakeholder Engagement InVEST in practice InVEST Maps Tradeoffs Balance sheets

9. A Tiered Approach Low Model Complexity Data Availability Local, fine Global, coarse High

10. China Tanzania California Hawai’i Amazon Basin Colombia Ecuador Applying InVEST (on land)

11. New tool: Marine InVEST www.naturalcapitalproject.org Aligning economic forces with conservation Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs
