It is clear that the importance of coastal ecosystem for the people living not only incoastal area but also in urban and mountainous area. And the coastal ecosystem has
important functions for the earth ecosystem and economics. However, its importancecannot be fully evaluated by monetary economics. We shall try to create the new concept
