This chapter puts the oyster controversy in the context of the larger story of PRNS, noting parallels between the present conflict and earlier park management dynamics. The use of formal planning processes (or lack thereof) has moreover been applied inconsistently in ways that seem to privilege natural resources and pressure the working landscape. The Seashore's long-awaited update of its general management plan, which is intended to provide an overall sense of management direction and goals for the park, remains stalled. An increasingly selective use of planning, science, and history seems to consistently downplay and erode the working landscape, even while publicly the NPS staff profess to support the ranches.

This epilogue tracks the more recent developments in the land use versus land preservation debate, including further controversies surrounding Point Reyes. A new lawsuit was filed against the NPS in Point Reyes, with demands that the ongoing ranch management planning process be suspended until the thirty-six-year-old PRNS General Management Plan can finally be updated with studies of the environmental impacts of grazing. Elsewhere in the United States, the chapter covers the aftermath of an armed standoff at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. However, the chapter goes on to outline more hopeful changes across the country, such as the fact that more and more people are beginning to compromise on “what a park is for.”

The issue of management of the specialized agricultural information with the purpose to reduce risks of agricultural activities in organic farming has been discussed in the article. The aim of the paper is to study the applied aspects of management in the agricultural sector in conditions of digitalization and to identify the peculiarities of information management in the sphere of organic farming organizing being a potential to reduce risks of business’ development and functioning in the agricultural sector. One of the main aspects in this direction is to change the role and methods of information management in the digital society in general, and in the sphere of organic food production in particular. Information and management schemes have been developed during the study that allow considering information in process interconnections. Such approach gives the opportunity to view the general management plan in conditions of digital transformation, and also makes it possible for maximum specialized detailing, which is aimed at the reduction of the number of managerial mistakes and increase of the business performance of the organic farming household.

The application of marketing in tourism involves marketing activities undertaken by all producers that are in any way connected to selling their products on the tourist market, as a means of earning revenue. Tourism marketing calls for a marketing concept to be implemented in companies in the tourism sector and other tourism-supply providers. Upon the adoption of the Management Plan of the Velebit Nature Park, a marketing concept, as an element of efficient park management, must be employed to help ensure the prosperity of Park operations in all areas and across all levels.

As more ocean plans are developed and adopted around the world, the importance of accessible, up-to-date spatial data in the planning process has become increasingly apparent. Many ocean planning efforts in the United States and Canada rely on a companion data portal–a curated catalog of spatial datasets characterizing the ocean uses and natural resources considered as part of ocean planning and management decision-making.Data portals designed to meet ocean planning needs tend to share three basic characteris- tics. They are: ocean-focused, map-based, and publicly-accessible. This enables planners, managers, and stakeholders to access common sets of sector-speci c, place-based information that help to visualize spatial relationships (e.g., overlap) among various uses and the marine environment and analyze potential interactions (e.g., synergies or con icts) among those uses and natural resources. This data accessibility also enhances the transparency of the planning process, arguably an essential factor for its overall success.This paper explores key challenges, considerations, and best practices for developing and maintaining a data portal. By observing the relationship between data portals and key principles of ocean planning, we posit three overarching themes for data portal best practices: accommodation of diverse users, data vetting and review by stakeholders, and integration with the planning process. The discussion draws primarily from the use of the Northeast Ocean Data Portal to support development of the Northeast Ocean Management Plan, with additional examples from other portals in the U.S. and Canada.
