A scalable application aiming to facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue on coastal management: a case study on reef passages. Technical report on the database development and web map implementation.

The described work was part of SOCPacific2R. The project designs its research activities using an empirical inter- and transdisciplinary approach combining natural and social science methods, and focusing on reef passages in the South Pacific. With the aim to better understand and document the various roles of reef passages, a web map application was designed to inventory and characterize reef passages in the South Pacific region with involvement of scientists and various community stakeholders alike. An interactive web map was developed as a product to present the current state of the reef passages database. This work presents the detailed methodology that was followed to collect and generate data, and to develop the web map.
