MarineMap Consortium

MarineMap is a web-based decision support tool for open and participatory spatial planning in the marine environment. MarineMap offers a simple, flexible and powerful means of gathering expertise from resource managers, scientists, stakeholders and public in a process of collaborative decision making.

The MarineMap Consortium brings together personnel and skills from UC Santa Barbara, Ecotrust, and The Nature Conservancy. We create open-source spatial tools that integrate and illuminate the human dimensions of marine science and policy.

New! MarineMap Consortium wins award for Innovation in Technology from the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution. 

“MarineMap gets people honestly talking about where they can find common ground.”

— Ken Wiseman, Executive Director, Marine Life Protection Act Initiative
