Abstract

Evaluating Cumulative Impacts with GeoDesign in SeaSketch
Track: Geodesign
Authors: Dan Yocum, Will McClintock

SeaSketch is a software service for the collaborative geodesign of marine spatial plans. We developed functionality in SeaSketch for the visualization and analysis of global cumulative impact models for the ocean surface. Using simple sketching tools, users may develop prospective marine spatial plans and evaluate how these plans may increase or decrease human impacts to ocean habitats. New SeaSketch projects may include these functions 'out of the box' upon request.
