Bob Dylan once sang that he contained multitudes. So too does integration. More integrated planning of coasts and oceans has long been hailed as a goal and is seen as...
Trade-offs between fisheries, offshore wind farms and marine protected areas in the southern North Sea – Winners, losers and effective spatial management
Marine Policy, Volume 152
There is an increasing need for marine spatial planning in the North Sea given the multiple uses with competing objectives. Plans to increase renewable energy production by establishing offshore wind...
Marine spatial planning to solve increasing conflicts at sea: A framework for prioritising offshore windfarms and marine protected areas
Journal of Environmental Management, Volume 339.
Direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures on biodiversity and ecosystems are expected to lower the provided ecosystem services (ES) in the near future. To limit these impacts, protected areas will be...
Management of spatial data integrity including stakeholder feedback in Maritime Spatial Planning
Marine Policy, Volume 156, October 2023, 105799
The Maritime Spatial Planning process is data intensive, having to draw upon the best available data coming from many different sources. There are, therefore, multiple challenges in managing spatial data...
From marine snails to marine spatial planning: the science of human impacts and relationships with marine ecosystems
University of British Columbia
Extractive human systems are driving unprecedented biodiversity loss and exacerbating social inequity. The magnitude of the intertwined climate, biodiversity, and social inequity crises has prompted the development of interdisciplinary research...
Independent investigation in marine spatial planning: necessary or discretionary?
JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
Public Inquiry is an established process for effective testing and scrutiny of plans in terrestrial planning and is regarded as a means of providing credibility and accountability. Independent Investigation is...

The human dimension dilemma in marine spatial planning
MARINE POLICY JOURNAL
Scholars have criticised the practice of marine spatial planning because of its shortcomings in engaging the human dimension. However, working with social issues causes various planning dilemmas. This study develops...
Fractal dimension of Posidonia oceanica meadows for the assessment of their ecological condition
Ecological analyses are aimed at characterising the complexity of the structure of natural objects, yet their heterogeneity is hardly described by the Euclidean concepts. For such a purpose, fractal geometry...
