Getting Our Priorities Right: The role of information in setting priorities for management of New Zealand's ocean

June 2005, Ref. ME602

The key role of Oceans Policy is to provide overarching direction for the use of ocean space and resources. The Oceans Policy needs to provide guidance at the national level on who can do what, where - and ensure that these activities occur in a way that safeguards the future health of the ocean. This report looks at the information and tools that will be needed to make smart decisions about the best future uses of our ocean. It assesses the range of information and decision-making tools that we have available now, identifies opportunities to improve requirements, and outlines a way forward.
