MAPPING Human Uses of the Ocean

Understanding human uses of the ocean is essential to successful marine planning, but spatial information on ocean uses is often scarce and difficult to capture consistently over large areas. Participatory geographic information system (PGIS) methods provide interactive ways to capture local knowledge and ocean-use patterns through specialized GIS mapping tools.
