Maritime Spatial Planning

Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is a strategic process that organizes the use of ocean and sea areas to balance environmental health, economic activities, and social needs. It involves mapping out where different activities like fishing, shipping, renewable energy, and conservation can safely and sustainably take place, reducing conflicts and environmental impact. MSP aims to optimize resource use, protect marine ecosystems, and support sustainable growth, ensuring that diverse maritime activities coexist harmoniously now and in the future.
