## Notice

The Marine Management Organisation requires assistance to better understand the social impacts of marine planning so that the full impact of marine plans on sustainable development can be measured. In order to do this, a baseline of social metrics is needed. This project will identify and then provide measurements for these metrics, highlighting how they relate to marine plans and how the impact of marine plans can be ascertained.
