What would successful ecosystem-scale recovery look like and how do we measure
progress given shifting environmental baselines?
Background
Effective marine planning and governance are essential for balancing the multiple uses of
Scotland's marine and freshwater environments, protecting and enhancing ecosystems, and
delivering the Blue Economy Vision. Evidence gaps to enable effective spatial management
need to be filled and further research needed to develop evidence-based approaches to
marine spatial planning, protected area management, stakeholder engagement, and policy
design and implementation.
