Opinion: San Diego's economy will benefit from restoring and growing Mission Bay's wetlands [Opinion]
For example, its plants create roots and stems that lock away harmful greenhouse gases — a process we calculate is worth between $20,000 and $70,000 each year in carbon credits.
Furthermore, the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute has spent the last three decades helping improve the numbers of these species, and a restored marsh would greatly help its efforts. Since many people participate in the fishery for recreation and commercial ventures, the fish nurtured by the marsh have a wide social impact in a city like San Diego.
We have not yet done an exhaustive assessment of every service. For instance, the creation of a tourist venue — say, a wetlands education center or a boardwalk system through the marsh — would increase the amount of money spent by tourists at nearby attractions such as restaurants, boat rentals and SeaWorld.
