- Title
- 1.09 – Application of estuarine and coastal classifications in marine spatial management
- Abstract
- Coastal and marine classifications, both spatially explicit in the form of maps and nonspatial representations of the environment, are critical to the effective implementation of management strategies such as marine spatial planning. This chapter provides a wide range of classifications and classified maps developed to simplify and communicate biological, physical, social, and economic patterns in support of enhanced management decision making. Examples are provided from around the world and span a range of spatial scales from global classifications to those for individual bays and estuaries. Limitations, future challenges, and priority management needs are discussed.
