This course explores marine/maritime spatial planning (MSP), its relationship with other integrated ocean governance approaches, the process for developing a marine spatial plan and how to use a marine spatial plan. It explores the definition and elements of an effective MSP from a theoretical perspective and then looks to present how these theoretical approaches get delivered through the MSP process.

The importance of marine spatial planning (MSP) will be explored and there will be learning activities to support the understanding of MSP, how to develop a marine spatial plan, and how to use MSP for good decision making. The importance of setting the scene for plan development, inclusive stakeholder engagement and gender considerations, transboundary aspects, and robust data evidence as the base of MSP will be explored. This will include case studies from around the world of different approaches to MSP development and use of marine spatial plans.
