The purpose of the book is to provide a timely and original look at the role that information, and particularly scientific information, plays in the policy-making and decision-making processes for coastal and ocean management. The knowledge gained from the principles and case studies described in the book will enhance best practices for more effective communication and use of marine environmental information, particularly at the science-policy interface. The book will also contribute to the current understanding of information, particularly by arguing that the term 'science-policy interface' is a misnomer, as there may be many interfaces between science and policy.
