BCMCA Manuscript Accepted for Publication

The BCMCA is celebrating another success. A manuscript about the BCMCA that was co-authored and submitted for peer review by several project team members was recently published in the journal Marine Policy. The authors include: Natalie Ban, David Nicolson, Karin Bodtker, Carrie Robb, Krista Royle and Charlie Short.

The paper, Setting the stage for marine spatial planning: Ecological and social data collection and analyses in Canada’s Pacific waters, gives a comprehensive overview of the methods the BCMCA used for data collation and analyses and discusses several lessons learned during the process. The paper is available for download on the BCMCA website (a 2.4 MB PDF, available here) and is also available online with open access at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308597X12002163

Congratulations to the authors!
