Table 1. This table presents the dyads of elements in the ecosystem model. Circle symbols
(●) indicate relationships that do not co-occur in any section of law (institutional gaps). For example, there is no section of
law in the collection containing both the terms “crab” and “eelgrass,” which is a link in the ecosystem
model.
