Projects
Two complementary projects supporting this initiative aim to develop scientific knowledge about ecological, social, and economic processes that affect ecosystem-based management and governance of coastal-marine ecosystems. To achieve these goals, we support synthetic and often multidisciplinary work conducted by collaborative teams of researchers, managers, and policy-makers and by postdoctoral associates. We emphasize translation of results to end users and decision-makers by collaborating with communications professionals and by ensuring that data and products from our activities are archived and made publicly available.

Top priorities for the science, policy, and practice of Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning
Dec. 14-15, 2010
Experts with backgrounds in the science, policy, and practice of Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (CMSP) were convened to identify top priorities for advancing CMSP over the next one to five years. Particular attention was given to the need and opportunity to inform the U.S. National Ocean Council process to develop a strategic action plan in 2011 for implementing CMSP in the United States. Workshop participants developed, reviewed and then distilled a broad range of potential priorities during a day and a half of deliberations.
