While terrestrial ecosystems are easily monitored, marine systems suffer from a scarcity of spatial data due to their high dynamism nature and tri-dimensional environment. In this context, mapping is recognized as critical instrument bring ecosystem services (ES) into practical applications, modelling could represent an essential resource for assessing services. The scope study analyse the status quo spatially-explicit in European seas, (i) providing overview assessment Europe; (ii) highlighting challenges importance including analyses socio-economic valuation These results show that ES coastal areas still limited not harmonized evaluation approach. Most studies have provided general ESs, only few performed detailed habitat-specific analyses, e.g. lagoons, seagrass meadows, neglecting rest ecosystems. Such disequilibrium was habitat type, but it also extended categories. Finally, monetary non-monetary extremely relevant fundamental process boosting conservation habitats resources, overseeing more sustainable development maritime activities. Nevertheless, methodology assets under discussion mainly hindrances intrinsic An outlook future steps recommendations provided.
