Human impacts on the marine environment threaten the wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people. Marine environments are a common-pool resource (CPR) and one of their major management challenges is how to incorporate the value of ecosystem services to society in decision-making. Cultural ecosystem services (CES) relate to the often intangible benefits people receive from their interactions with the natural environment and contribute to individual and collective human wellbeing. Priority knowledge gaps include the need to better understand shared values regarding CES, and how to effectively integrate these values into decision-making. We filmed 40 Community Voice Method interviews with marine stakeholders in two areas of the UK to improve on the valuation of coastal and marine CES. Results show that cultural benefits including sense of place, aesthetic pleasure and cultural identity were bi-directional, contributed directly to a ‘fulfilled human life’ and were associated with charismatic marine life and biodiversity. Other-regarding self-transcendence values were salient underscoring a desire for sustainable marine management. We critically reflect on our analytical framework that integrates aspects of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment and IPBES conceptual frameworks. The thematic codebook developed for this study could prove useful for future comparative studies in other marine CES contexts. We propose that values-led management could increase the efficacy of marine planning strategies.

人类对海洋环境的影响威胁着亿万人的福祉。海洋环境是一个公共资源库，其主要管理挑战之一是如何将生态系统服务对社会的价值纳入决策。文化生态系统服务（CES）与人们从与自然环境的互动中获得的通常无形的利益有关，并为个人和集体人类的福祉做出了贡献。优先知识差距包括需要更好地了解有关CES的共享价值，以及如何有效地将这些价值整合到决策中。我们对英国两个地区的海洋利益相关者进行了40次社区声音方法访谈，以提高沿海和海洋CES的估值。结果表明，文化利益包括地方感，审美愉悦和文化认同是双向的，直接促进了“人类的充实生活”，并与魅力海洋生物和生物多样性相关。其他有关自我超越的价值观凸显了对可持续海洋管理的渴望。我们批判性地考虑了我们的分析框架，该分析框架整合了英国国家生态系统评估和IPBES概念框架的各个方面。为这项研究开发的主题代码手册可能被证明对其他海洋CES环境中的未来比较研究很有用。我们建议以价值为导向的管理可以提高海洋规划策略的效力。其他有关自我超越的价值观凸显了对可持续海洋管理的渴望。我们批判性地考虑了我们的分析框架，该分析框架整合了英国国家生态系统评估和IPBES概念框架的各个方面。为这项研究开发的主题代码手册可能被证明对其他海洋CES环境中的未来比较研究很有用。我们建议以价值为导向的管理可以提高海洋规划策略的效力。其他有关自我超越的价值观凸显了对可持续海洋管理的渴望。我们批判性地考虑了我们的分析框架，该分析框架整合了英国国家生态系统评估和IPBES概念框架的各个方面。为这项研究开发的主题密码本可能被证明对其他海洋CES环境中的未来比较研究很有用。我们建议以价值为导向的管理可以提高海洋规划策略的效力。
