The CINMS Social Science Plan describes an explicit three-year effort to acquire and analyze scientifically rigorous socioeconomic data on all human uses of the Sanctuary. The plan includes a program of research and monitoring, a strategy for addressing reserve effects to all CINMS users, a consultative process for working with stakeholders, and a process for establishing priorities and allocating funds. Data are required to address three main objectives: (i) test socioeconomic predictions made prior to marine reserve network imposition, (ii) monitor human-sanctuary interactions to inform adaptive management of marine reserves, and (iii) contribute to an ecosystem-based approach to management.
