Human Values Clause Samples

Human Values. Forested wetlands have both consumptive and nonconsumptive human use values (see Table 1). For many people, forested wetlands serve as a buffer zone between developed, commercially used areas of the islands and undeveloped, recreational use areas. Commercially, the large trees found in these wetlands have been historically used for the timber harvest in southeastern Alaska.

Human Values. Wetland values are the benefits to humans that are derived from a wetland’s features, processes, or setting. If something has "value," it is deemed worthwhile, beneficial, or desirable. Wetland characteristics may be valuable for “consumptive” uses such as subsistence harvesting (e.g., fishing, hunting, and ▇▇▇▇▇-picking) and the support of commercial harvesting of natural resources, or for “nonconsumptive” uses such as aesthetics, recreational and educational uses, and flood control protection of downstream developments). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Island is considered one of the most important subsistence and recreational hunting areas in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough because of its high densities of Sitka deer and the high cost of living in Ketchikan and Saxman. In addition, many of the muskeg and shrub/scrub areas of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Island are important sites for subsistence harvesting of berries. Wetland values are not easily measured. Often values are subjective and may be specific to certain groups or individuals; that is, a wetland feature valuable to one group may have little value to other groups.
