Net Gain's structure is designed to ensure that advice and input from stakeholders and the best available science are integral to the development of the region's MCZs. The Project Team, Stakeholder Advisory Panel, Regional Hubs, Project Board and National Science Advisory Panel each have a role to play in guiding the project to a successful conclusion.
Making Good Decisions
Net Gain is fundamentally about shared decision making. From the earliest planning stages, we are working closely with stakeholders to explore where MCZs could be best located, identifying potential areas of conflict and trying, where possible, to find ways to work around them.
Finding MCZ sites, which provide maximum benefits to nature and minimise the impact to stakeholders is central to the success of Net Gain.
