Agencies responsible for managing or regulating use of public resources need to be evaluating existing conditions and potential conflicts from an ecosystem services perspective.
Example mapping.Whales – building on existing OWET research and regional experts.Visual Resources – Viewpoints at sea to land.Device suitability – point absorberOWETData supporting this is great.
There are some important conclusions being reached by those doing work on data and tools to support MSP – those conclusions are shared and highlighted by the Report from the Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Some of the key conclusions are the following:
