Stakeholder participation is key to effective #Marine #Spatial #Planning (MSP) decisions. Various #data/information tools can aid MSP processes. Davret & Trouillet studied how #stakeholders use #maps & found they “take a critical approach to maps” @juliettedavret.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
