Transactive i.e. evaluates NFM on the basis of its the time it takes to plan & develop and/or the costs associated with implementation

Normative i.e. evaluates NFM on the basis of its contribution to broader ideals such as (but not limited to) sustainability, health & wellbeing, and socio-ecological resilience, local cultural value, and biodiversity
