... Persistent target tracking, facilitated by the Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA), provides a continuous record of a unique vessel's trajectory, which is difficult to reconstruct from infrequent satellite images [56]. Some satellites can be tasked to a given area (albeit with limitations [57]) or revisit within minutes, but most have a longer revisit time [58,59]. Radar and AIS positions are both typically reported of the order of seconds, so association between the two is a common practice and helpful for providing identification information on radar-detected targets [60,61]. ...

... To calculate supply and demand it is necessary to analyze the social and economic drivers [83] responsible for inducing variations in the flow of goods and services [84]. It is important to understand the spatial relationships among the areas in which ES originate (supply) and those that benefit from them (demand), correlating the calculation of supply and demand to the reference scale, in order to implement effective policies [85,86]. ...

... Ecosystem accounting (or natural capital accounting) includes a wide variety of methods and approaches which are used to incorporate the values of nature into public and business accounts, ranging from monetizing methods to more diverse approaches including also non-monetary units (Agarwala et al., 2014;Faccioli et al., 2016;Giampietro, 2014;Hooper et al., 2019;Lomas & Giampietro, 2017;Ten Brink, 2012). It is used in different ways and for different purposes; in some cases as a national indicator of non-monetary wealth (the green gross domestic product), in other cases as a national or subnational planning tool (Brown & Ulgiati, 1999Franzese et al., 2014Franzese et al., , 2019Geng et al., 2013;Sumarga et al., 2015;Ulgiati et al., 2011). It provides new and nuanced information to decision-makers about stocks and flows of natural capital, which is important because in economic market mechanisms, these "externalities" are not visible in the price of commodities. ...
