PlanIt Forward’s extensive experience in assessment and planning can be applied to marine protected area planning and marine spatial planning/zoning. Dr. Crist’s work, particularly in Integrated Land-Sea Planning (ILSP) and Coastal Resilience has included marine habitat and marine use assessment and prioritization. Our ILSP toolkit including NatureServe Vista and Marxan are ideal for developing and adaptively managing marine plans. Dr. Crist also originated and co-leads the Coastal Marine Ecosystem Based Management Tools Network (EBM Tools); a several-thousand person network of researchers and practitioners across the globe improving methods and tools for marine conservation and management. PlanIt Forward can assist in a wide-range of marine planning activities that address land-based and within ocean stressor mitigation, planning new marine protected areas, and marine use/zoning.
