Dear SCB members,
A recent article in the MEAM newsletter covers how
researchers and practitioners are gleaning information from social media and other online data
to better understand how people are using coastal and marine environments and resources, as well as conduct coastal and marine monitoring. In the article, we explore:
- applications of the new social science of “culturomics” to
identify conservation emblems and conservation constituencies and provide metrics and tools for near-real-time environmental monitoring
- how
online forums can be used to understand the dynamics of a fishing communities
- how
Flickr was used to estimate values of coral reef tourism
- how
Twitter can be used to help monitor and model flooding
, and
- how
Facebook can be used to understand how ocean and coastal resources are used
.
This topic was absolutely fascinating to cover, and we hope these
case studies
provide some inspiration for other resource managers and conservation practitioners.
And as always, the newsletter provides a summary of the
latest news and resources for ocean planners and managers
.
Apologies for any cross-postings.
Best wishes,
Sarah Carr
