An international webinar on marine spatial planning is being offered Aug. 22 by Blue Solutions.  It is being offered around the world, which explains why it takes place so early, 6 a.m., in our part of the world.  (It is a much more convenient 9 a.m. for those on the East Coast, for instance.)

The webinar, "Do Data or Desires Drive Marine Spatial Planning," will feature presentations and discussion from Tundi Agardy of Sound Seas, Jon Day of James Cook University, and Michelle Portman of Technion University. It will run for an hour and a half.

The webinar will address questions such as:

  • What kind of data is needed to start and conduct a MSP process?
  • How much do scope and objectives of a MSP process influence the need for data?
  • How much do data influence MSP processes?
  • What are the benefits and limitations of decision support tools?

It is part of the PANORAMA - Solutions for a Healthy Planet webinar series and is hosted by Blue Solutions.

Participating in the webinar is free of charge, and your computer speakers can be used to hear the audio. It will be possible to send presenters questions by typing them into the webinar user interface. If you have any additional questions, please contact meam@openchannels.org.
