Australian Marine Spatial Planning Framework

The Australian Marine Spatial Planning Framework is a structured approach to managing ocean spaces and resources in Australia. It aims to balance the needs of various users, such as fishermen, shipping industries, and conservation efforts, while protecting marine environments. By mapping and planning how different areas of the sea are used, the framework helps ensure sustainable use of marine resources and support biodiversity. This collaborative process involves stakeholders, including governments and local communities, to make informed decisions that benefit both the economy and the environment.
