MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING KEY ON-GOING ISSUES

Data and Information - Use Internet-based tools and technology to support planning - Visualize and assess complex information for the public Regional governance - Embed state MSP within regional framework (need to scale-up the approach through a process yet to be invented) Plan updates - Accommodate new information and assessments over time - Research framework to support state and regional MSP CAPACITY and COST$!!!!
