Marine Spatial Planning Framework

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is a organized process that helps manage activities in ocean and coastal areas to balance economic use, environmental health, and social needs. It involves mapping out where different activities like fishing, shipping, conservation, and energy development can safely and sustainably take place. MSP aims to reduce conflicts, protect ecosystems, and ensure that marine resources are used responsibly. By planning ahead, communities and governments can make informed decisions about ocean space, improving the sustainability and health of our oceans for future generations.
