Setting the Standard for Science Integration
The last decade has seen a surge in calls for better integration of the best available scientific information into coastal and marine management. Yet despite this ever-growing chorus of support for science informed decision-making, incorporating science into the policy process is no simple matter. Scientists and policy-makers often run into trouble collaborating harmoniously because they are enmeshed in disparate worlds that operate with fundamentally different time scales, processes, and even languages.
California Ocean Science Trust is expert at living in and understanding both of these worlds. Carefully, yet boldly, we are building a bridge constructed of our independence, integrity, experience, and knowledge that links science and policy in ways that result in better ocean management for California. This is what we call Science Integration.
To learn more about Science Integration, read this interview with OST Executive Director, Skyli McAfee.
