Maritime Spatial Planning Directive

The Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) Directive is a European regulation that helps coordinate the use of marine areas. Its goal is to organize activities like shipping, fishing, energy projects, and conservation in harmony, reducing conflicts and environmental impact. By creating comprehensive plans, it ensures sustainable development and protection of marine ecosystems, balancing economic needs with environmental health. This strategic approach benefits industries, local communities, and biodiversity, promoting safe and efficient use of Europe's seas and oceans.
