Video: How do NZ communities participate in decision-making?

Paula Blackett and Erena le Heron presented a preliminary review of marine participatory process initiatives that have been used for decision-making in New Zealand, at the NZ Coastal Society conference.

This research is part of the Testing EBM-supportive participatory processes for application in multi-use marine environments project, which is identifying the optimum ways to involve different interest groups in discussions and decision-making around the governance and management of marine environments.
