Impacting Policy: Communicating and Incorporating Aquatic and Ocean Science at International, National, State, and Local Levels through Ecosystem-Based Management III Posters


Session ID#: 9632

Session Description:
Informing policy discussions with science is important for sound decision-making and the health, productivity, and sustainability of aquatic systems. Understanding and communicating interactions between the aquatic environment and our natural resources, public and environmental safety, national security, and the global economy requires a wide range of expertise, including the scientific community. To become part of the planning and management culture, science must help to meet management objectives, have clear metrics to measure their impact, and be applied and proven through local and regional examples. Ecosystem-based management is the foundation for sound science-based policy and an important approach for efficient and effective planning and adaptive management that is interagency, multi-jurisdictional, and cross-sectoral. Many scientists want to broaden the impact of their research (e.g., apply sound science for the benefit of policymakers and managers), but don’t know how or where to start. This session brings together researchers, planners, and decision makers to present overviews and case studies on how science can match management needs through science-based tools, communication and metrics. Presentations will highlight principles and challenges to implementation, contributions scientists can make to policy development and implementation, examples of successful engagement with policymakers, measuring impact, and lessons learned from case studies.
