Published 21 February 2023Collecting social, cultural and economic data to provide a foundation for long-term monitoring of community wellbeing associated with the marine estate.
The NSW Marine Estate Community Wellbeing Framework.
Overview
The NSW marine estate contributes to our wellbeing and our quality of life. This project will develop a community wellbeing framework to guide the collection of social, cultural and economic data. The data will help us to better understand and protect the benefits the community gets from the marine estate.
It will also:
provide the baseline data to assess long-term trends and impacts on community benefits
promote the effectiveness of the Marine Estate Management Strategy and future threat and risk assessments.
The framework will ensure social, cultural and economic values are better incorporated into planning and management of the marine estate.
