The webinar is open to the public so please distribute to any potentially interested parties.
A variety of software tools have been developed to help policymakers and managers implement EBM processes such as collecting, visualizing, and analyzing information about ecosystems and human communities and engaging stakeholders in EBM decision making processes. This webinar provided an overview of a number of tools that can be used to facilitate EBM processes in coral reef ecosystems and will point managers in the direction of additional resources to find out more about tools.
