Information
Decision support tools are created and used to guide outreach, inform planning, analyze and prioritize information, and facilitate decision making. The Tide Gate Decision Support Tool provides a flexible and systematic approach for identifying priority tide gate project sites from a multitude of perspectives.
The tool can be used by funders, local governments, restoration partners, and others to evaluate project sites at a local, regional, or coast-wide scale for a variety of potential outcomes, including, for example, agricultural land protection, economic development benefits, community benefits, flood reduction, community resilience, infrastructure improvements, water quality, ecosystem function, and fish habitat.
