European Marine Spatial Planning Platform

The European Marine Spatial Planning Platform is an initiative aimed at managing the use of marine areas in Europe. It helps countries plan activities in seas and oceans, such as fishing, shipping, and renewable energy, to ensure they coexist sustainably. By providing tools, resources, and best practices, the platform supports decision-makers in balancing economic growth with environmental protection. This collaborative effort enhances cooperation among different stakeholders, including governments, conservationists, and businesses, to create a more organized and sustainable approach to using marine resources, ultimately benefiting both people and the ecosystem.
