Science, Information, and Policy Interface for Effective Coastal and Ocean Management

Bys: Suzuette S. Soomai, Elizabeth M. De Santo, Peter G. Wells

A collaborative effort among world experts, this book examines the role of information-particularly scientific information-in the policy-making and decision-making processes in coastal and ocean management. It explores the different types of science-policy interfaces existing within and between different organizations, as well as the various roles that different types of non-governmental organizations play in producing and disseminating information. Useful to all major groups in the policy-making process, it increases understanding of catalysts and barriers to communicating research findings while pointing to directions for future research.
