From transportation to resource management and health, geospatial data and technologies are now used to support decisions in most sectors of our society. The increasing volume, complexity, and diversity of data creates however a need for new methods that can help identify, summarize, and visualize information relevant to decision-makers, something that is the focus of many research projects in geomatics, computer sciences, geography, and other disciplines. In the marine environment, geospatial technologies became a key tool supporting ocean planning (e.g. Marine Spatial Planning) and more specifically to help design and monitor marine protected areas. From simple uses of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map different variables, to more complex methods and systems that help analyzing data and supporting decisions, geospatial data and systems play an increasing role in marine conservation planning. While a range of approaches and tools already support conservation planning efforts, the complexity of those decisions is rarely captured and still calls for new methods.

从交通到资源管理和健康，地理空间数据和技术现在被用来支持我们社会大多数部门的决策。然而，数据数量、复杂性和多样性的不断增加，需要新的方法来帮助识别、总结和可视化与决策者相关的信息，这是测绘学、计算机科学、地理学和其他学科中许多研究项目的重点。在海洋环境中，地理空间技术成为支持海洋规划（例如海洋空间规划）的关键工具，更具体地说，有助于设计和监测海洋保护区。从简单地使用地理信息系统（GIS）来绘制不同变量，到帮助分析数据和支持决策的更复杂的方法和系统，地理空间数据和系统在海洋保护规划中发挥着越来越大的作用。虽然一系列方法和工具已经支持保护规划工作，但这些决策的复杂性很少被捕捉到，并且仍然需要新的方法。
