New Book about Information Use and the Science-Policy Interface

The Environmental Information: Use and Influence (EIUI) research team at Dalhousie University, Halifax is very pleased to announce that it’s new book, Science, Information, and Policy Interface for Effective Coastal and Ocean Management is now available from CRC Press (a division of Taylor & Francis). Edited by Bertrum H. MacDonald, Suzuette S. Soomai, Elizabeth M. De Santo, and Peter G. Wells, this book brings together an international group of over thirty authors who examined the multidimensional processes at the science-policy interface by which scientific information is incorporated into policy decisions. Fundamental concepts and principles of the interface, as well as case studies by governmental and non-governmental organizations, increase understanding of the role that scientific information plays in decision-making for the management of the world’s coasts and oceans.

For more information, please see an overview of the book and a report of the book launch on the EIUI’s website.
