Coastal ecosystems are a source of various ornamental resources and aesthetic values cherished and valued by humans, such as wild animals, plants and abiotic resources, which are used as clothing materials, souvenirs or pets. Coastal zones provide a variety of ways for aesthetic enjoyment, for instance, landscape appreciation, sightings of wild animals and plants, sound of waves crashing on the shore, etc. (anon., 2006).
