Monterey County as a pilot-scale marine policy laboratory
The Monterey Bay area has a number of significant assets that make it an ideal setting for becoming a pilot-scale “policy laboratory,” focusing on crafting new environmental policy solutions based on near-real-time scientific data and evidence. Key assets include the sheer concentration of marine and environmental science experts and institutions, the unique ecosystem of the Bay, the heavy presence of sensors in the Bay region, pioneering work in ecosystem-based management and marine spatial planning, and existing multi-disciplinary research programs on policy and the environment.
