Description
Coastal and marine planning is difficult due to complex regulations, large and fragmented datasets, and the involvement of multiple authorities across local, regional, and national levels. The SEA2LAND Navigator tool was developed to support this process by organizing governance responsibilities and providing access to a wide range of relevant resources. Given the breadth and depth of information it brings together, users may benefit from additional support when exploring the tool and applying it to specific planning questions. To address this, we introduce SEA2LAND Navigator-GPT, an AI chatbot integrated into the SEA2LAND Navigator website. The chatbot allows users to ask natural-language questions and receive clear, step-by-step guidance supported by user data and official documents. By simplifying access to information and guiding users through complex planning tasks, Navigator-GPT improves usability, supports transparent decision-making, and helps bridge the gap between data, policy, and practical coastal planning.
