This study presents an economic characterization of the value of ecosystem services in the Matanuska-Susitna Basin (Mat-Su), which is a 24,300 square mile area located north of Anchorage, Alaska within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Mat-Su ecosystems provide a suite of ecosystem services including abundant fishing and hunting, drinking water, flood control, and world-renowned recreational opportunities. This study looks at the economic value provided by these ecosystems. We used benefit transfer methodology frequently applied by agencies worldwide in their decision making on natural resources. The method is similar to a house or business appraisal in that it relies on available information from studies already completed from another location and/or context. Besides conducting this literature review, we used Geographic Information Systems data to identify and estimate the value of ecosystem services in the Mat-Su. This assessment informs regional planners and governments in their decisions affecting local and regional economies and quality of life for residents.
