This fall, The Coast Guard Proceedings will include an article by Will McClintock that describes how one can use SeaSketch to maximize stakeholder involvement in MSP using SeaSketch.

An article in the August, 2012, edition of ArcWatch describes how SeaSketch may be used for collaborative geodesign.
Geospatial technology is now being used to analyze data and weigh various options on how to best manage ocean resources. Quick feedback on designs using geospatial technology is called geodesign, and it's used in many diverse fields, including marine planning. SeaSketch, a new online application developed at the Marine Science Institute and supported by Esri, will give marine spatial planners and ocean resources managers the tools to make decisions related to fisheries, energy development, shipping lanes, and protected marine areas.SeaSketch was developed using Esri's ArcGIS, including ArcGIS Online, which is a cloud-based collaborative content system for maps, applications, data, and other geospatial information.
