Science to Management: Addressing Information Gaps for Decision Making for Large Marine Ecosystem Management

Translating science to management is a key issue for all natural resource managers. Yet, in many situations, access to information or data is unavailable and often unknown. Making decisions in these situations is not easy and can require being resourceful with what knowledge is available and strategic in how to any information and data gaps. This policy brief will provide useful examples of how to address issues translating science to management for policy makers based on lessons learned in the GEF International Waters Large Marine Ecosystem portfolio.
