2020 State of the Science Report, Chapter 11: Marine Spatial Planning and Marine Renewable Energy
- Univ. College Cork, Ringaskiddy, Ireland (United Kindgom). MaREI Centre
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is advocated internationally as an improved approach to managing marine activities that addresses competing sectors and balances environmental, social, and economic interests. The benefits of MSP are cited as being increased transparency and certainty for industry, improved environmental protection, reduced sectoral conflicts, and providing opportunities for synergies. Approaches to implementation of MSP vary by country and sometimes within countries. As a relatively new and novel approach to managing marine activities, it can be difficult to determine when success has occurred or what might constitute more effective and efficient management systems. The growth of marine renewable energy (MRE) will result in the increasing use of sea space and potential for conflict with existing marine uses, both of which can be addressed, in part, through implementation of MSP. https://tethys.pnnl.gov/publications/state-of-the-science-2020-chapter-11-marine-spatial-planning
