EBM Tools Network Developing and Supporting Tools for Coastal-Marine EBM SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
EBM Tools Network Goals • Develop knowledge base of existing EBM tools and increase access to and evaluation of tools • Determine tool functionality needed for EBM and promote development of tools to fill gaps • Promote tool interoperability and sustainability • Develop and promote best practices for using EBM tools • Build capacity for using EBM tools • Develop EBM tools trainings and toolkits • Provide support for tool use in on-the-ground EBM projects SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
What is EBM? • Accounts for ecological, social, and economic goals • Incorporates understanding of ecosystem processes • Considers ecological boundaries, not just political • Uses adaptive management • Accounts for uncertainty • Engages multiple stakeholders in collaborative process SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
EBM Tools • Primarily software • Goals for tools: • Account for multiple, competing objectives • Provide models of and account for ecosystem processes • Account for uncertainty • Engage multiple stakeholders in collaborative process • Decision support not decision maker SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
EBM Process Set Goals, Analyze Scenarios, and Select Actions Implement Actions, Monitor, and Adaptively Manage Characterize the Context for EBM Engage Stakeholders SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
Where Tools Can Help Characterizing the Context for EBM -Develop conceptual models of ecosystems, human systems, and interactions -Identify watersheds/marine areas affecting potential management actions -Help translate local knowledge into geospatial data • Setting Goals, Analyzing Scenarios, and Selecting Actions • -Develop quantitative models of ecosystems, human systems, and interactions • Map and rank threats according to potential impact on goals • Generate scenarios of ecological and economic repercussions of potential management actions • Evaluate costs of potential management actions relative to goal achievement • Facilitate stakeholder visualization of/voting on potential management actions SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
Interoperability not “SuperTool” Watershed Models Marine Ecosystem Models Land Use Planning Tools • Conservation/Restoration Area Selection Tools • Optimization Decision Support Tools/Coastal Zone Management Tools Management Decisions Fisheries Management Tools • Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Tools • Electronic voting • Conceptual models • Ecological “games” • Visualization tools • Mind mapping tools • Misc. Tools • Dispersal and habitat models • Hazard assessment tools • Data and project management tools • Socioeconomic Tools • Economic models • Local knowledge tools • Political/regulatory tools SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
EBM Tools Database • Developed draft EBM framework to determine tool functionality needed for EBM • Identified currently-available software tools useful for coastal-marine EBM • Sources of tool information: • Other tool surveys • Web searches • Interviews with developers • PlaceMatters land use planning database • Created tools database (80+ tools) SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
Priority Tools • Selected based on: • Breadth of EBM tasks performed • Uniqueness of EBM tasks performed • Previous applications to EBM tasks • Perceived sustainability (including platform type, user support available) SUMBER: usk2.geo.orst.edu/cai/BIDI_Jul2007/EBM_Overview.ppt
