Salt marsh area has been shrinking and large losses of salt marsh have been globally reported. In addition to natural processes such as climate change; factors like conversion for agricultural, aquaculture, industry and salt pan drastically reduce the salt marsh distribution area. Valuation plays an important role in creating markets for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services, for instance through payments for ecosystem services, compensation, and cost benefit analysis. This research study has estimated equivalent economic values of the goods and services produced by the salt marshes.
