The Marine Spatial Planning Index: a tool to guide and assess marine spatial planning [PDF]
npj Ocean Sustainability, 2023 Marine spatial planning (MSP) has the potential to balance demands for ocean space with environmental protection and is increasingly considered crucial for achieving global ocean goals. In theory, MSP should adhere to six principles, being: (1) ecosystem-

Marine spatial planning: Coordinating divergent marine interests. [PDF]
Ambio, 2021 AbstractGlobally, ecosystem-based marine spatial planning has become a useful instrument to coordinate the planning of different authorities. This, for balancing different requirements when managing marine areas and space. In the planning process, ecology is setting limits to which human activities are acceptable to the society.

Editorial: Tracking marine megafauna for conservation and marine spatial planning [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity faces multiple threats, from invasive species to climatechange. Yet no large-scale assessments of threat management strategies exist. Applying astructured participatory approach, we demonstrate that existing conservation efforts areinsufficient in a changing world, estimating that 65% (at best 37%, at worst 97%) of ...

Integrating scientific guidance into marine spatial planning. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2014 Marine spatial planning (MSP), whereby areas of the ocean are zoned for different uses, has great potential to reduce or eliminate conflicts between competing management goals, but only if strategically applied. The recent literature overwhelmingly agrees that including stakeholders in these planning processes is critical to success; but, given the ...

Marine spatial planning in practice
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2013 No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. This study provides an empirical review of the attributes of 16 existing marine spatial plans. Almost all plans have a government mandate and the authority to implement spatial planning vested in existing institutions. Decision‐support tools were applied inconsistently across plans and
