Implementing a marine cadastre (or other similar marine information systems)
Sutherland, Michael
The acceptable use of any space, in any jurisdiction, is determined by value systems (translated into laws, policies, customs etc.) that control behaviours in those spaces. Implicated in this control, and often expressed explicitly, are boundaries. The management of boundaries and the administration of rights, responsibilities, and restrictions associated with those boundaries (and the spatial extents that are included or excluded thereby) are therefore important parts of the management of defined spaces in any social construct. The efficient management and administration of defined spaces (including coastal and marine spaces) also depend upon access to appropriate and useful information and information systems, appropriate technologies, adequate laws and policies, relevant institutional arrangements, efficiently functioning organizations, well-trained professionals, and informed stakeholders. Together these components form the basis for efficient and effective decision support relevant to the use defined spaces.
