MSDP (Marine Spatial Planning)

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is a strategic approach to managing ocean space. It aims to balance different uses—like fishing, shipping, renewable energy, and conservation—by organizing activities to reduce conflicts and protect marine ecosystems. MSP involves assessing ecological, economic, and social factors to create clear, sustainable plans for how and where activities can occur in marine areas. This helps ensure that the ocean's resources are used responsibly, supporting environmental health while allowing diverse human activities to coexist effectively.
