Dr. Will McClintock presents at the GeoDesign Summit
Dr. McClintock presents the value of the GeoDesign approach in marine spatial planning, using MarineMap and marine protected area planning in California as a case study, and SeaSketch for comprehensive planning in New Zealand.
Will McClintock presented a case for using GeoDesign in marine spatial planning. GeoDesign allows non-technical users to sketch spatial plans (e.g., marine protected areas, aquaculture sites, restoration sites, transportation zones) and receive automated feedback on the consequences of such designs (e.g., ecosystem protection, energy potential, economic impacts).

An article that covers the GeoDesign Summit does a nice job of contextualizing Will's presentation.
