Climate-Informed Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning
Overview
Climate-informed coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) integrates the full suite of climatic changes and effects, along with the different uses, values, and needs, into planning for resilient coastal and marine environments.
Objectives
Improve understanding of how, when, and where to integrate climatic changes and impacts into CMSP
