Although the ocean provides living space for about 97 percent of life on Earth, less than 5 percent of the ocean below the surface has actually been seen, let alone explored. Now, using the geographic information system (GIS), marine scientists are gaining new insights into a once-mysterious world. A technologically...
This study demonstrates the utility of combining available scientific data with local ecological knowledge in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to support community-based fisheries management. The approach used provides both the framework for capturing important ecological, economic and social information relevant to marine fisheries management, and also offers coastal citizens...

The state of Oregon is developing a comprehensive plan to guide the potential siting of renewable
ocean energy projects in Oregon’s Territorial Sea. To this end, the state is revising its Territorial Sea
Plan (TSP), and has begun collecting information on the spatial extent of human uses that provide
economic...
