Aesthetic Values
Landscapes, textures, coloursFishing places often have an aesthetic appeal which is valued by people who live there as well as tourists. This may be a combination of the landscape values of the particular environmental setting of the coast, together with the colours, textures, reflections and patterns of the water, boats, fishing gear etc.
Places with a high aesthetic value may also achieve economic benefits through increased house prices or tourism and recreation.
If it wasn’t for fishing in the first place we wouldn’t have all these picturesque little harbours ... that makes it so appealing as a holiday destination
