Introduction

Thank you for your time to complete this questionnaire;

Evidence-based decision-making is an essential process for sustainable, effective, and efficient marine spatial planning (MSP); and decision support tools (DSTs) could be considered to be the primary assistant of planners.
 
DSTs are software-based intermediaries that provide support in evidence-based decision- making processes. The application of tools lead users (including managers but also, scientists, industry, or NGOs), through clear steps and can finally support decision making.

As a further step of our comprehensive review (http://dst.azti.es), we aim to clarify main gaps and possible developments of DSTs according to opinions of experts who were actively involved in MSP processes.
