Conceptual diagram illustrating two different methods of measuring a coastal bay. Sixty fixed monitoring stations indicate threshold concentration of nitrogen in the coastal bays.
Spatially fixed sampling
Marine and coastal resources and habitats are used more intensively and thus, are degraded. In addition, global climate change is affects coasts and oceans. Traditional single-sector management is no longer adequate, and governance systems are struggling to keep up with modern technology and practices. In many cases, these conditions have led to unsustainable development. The goal of marine conservation is to address these challenges by promoting sustainable development and resource use.
Sustainable vs. unsustainable development
Conceptual diagram illustrating the 'wedding cake' design for ecological indicators. Used by the National Park Service, this is how indicators are used to make decisions on a national, regional, and local level.
The 'wedding cake' design
Conceptual diagram illustrating how conceptual diagrams are created using information-rich symbols to create a visual story. This example is from the U.S. National Park Service National Capital Region Network's
The development of a conceptual diagram
Conceptual diagram illustrating the the continual steps in creating an ecological forecast (forecasting, tracking, assessment, and improvement).
The steps of ecological forecasting
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the approach and how it changes over the time period of a applied science project.
Three stages of environmental management
Conceptual diagram illustrating how societal shifts as far as environment management are powered by a combination of power, knowledge, and passion.
Using knowledge to empower change
Target audiences have different sizes and knowledge bases. Different groups require different communication techniques - such as personal letter or email for individuals, or broadcasted news for the general public.
