Leading collaborative processes for effective planning and decision-making
Decisions about land, water, and natural resources are challenging because they involve diverse groups of people, each with their own knowledge, goals, and fears.
Making a complex decision can require creating a new process that involves all parties working together towards a solution. This is called collaborative governance.
West Coast Aquatic has led trusted, successful collaborative governance processes in fisheries, marine, and coastal contexts since 2004. We continue to build on our institutional experience and adapt our approach to new multi-party decision or planning challenges.
