European Marine Spatial Planning (MSP)

European Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is a strategic process that organizes the use of marine space to sustainably balance economic activities, environmental protection, and societal needs. It involves mapping and analyzing human activities like shipping, fishing, energy production, and conservation to prevent conflicts and reduce environmental impacts. By planning how marine areas are used, MSP aims to ensure that these resources are managed efficiently, supporting sustainable development of marine sectors while safeguarding marine ecosystems for future generations.
