Critical needs in coastal ecosystem-based management <https://www.coastalebm.com/>
A group of researchers at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science is working in cooperation with NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) to review regional research needs that, if met, might encourage or support ecosystem-based management (EBM) strategies. We are seeking individuals working in coastal marine ecosystems who can offer valuable insight into regional issues and research needs. Would you be willing to share your knowledge and experience in a brief online survey? Results from this research will be used to guide agencies toward filling critical science gaps and encourage a more holistic approach to coastal ecosystems management. We anticipate the survey to take approximately 15-20 minutes. We appreciate your help. Please feel free to forward this email to others with experience in coastal marine resource management that might also be willing to participate.
