| + | |Issue Description=Previous to the ocean planning process, a range of stakeholders (federal, state, industry, conservation) saw challenges to the complex ocean management regime that included many steps with multiple state and federal agencies. It was inefficient at best and at times led to costly conflicts, such as Cape Wind. Given this, actors sought a more proactive and coordinated approach to managing the future of the New England coastline. | ||

| + | |Issue Description=A key challenge in regional ocean management and decision-making before the Northeast ocean planning process was dispersed and inaccessible data. If a developer wanted to propose an ocean use project, they did not necessarily have access to the same data as decision-makers. State and federal agencies in the region, both responsible for different permitting processes in ocean management, also did not necessarily use the same data in their decision-making. This led to frustration and confusion at times and was a central issue to address in the process. | ||
