About
OCEAN PLANNING
The ocean and the ways which people use it are evolving and expanding quickly and often do not adhere to jurisdictional boundaries. Taking a regional approach to ocean planning improves the efficiency and impact of resource management, leading to improved ocean health, less overlapping or conflicting use, and overall greater benefits for the people that love and rely on the ocean.
