The Marine Spatial Planning Index: a tool to guide and assess marine spatial planning (2023)
This paper provides a tool for assessing progress in MSP processes based on MSP principles that can guide practitioners in operationalizing these principles. Using qualitative analysis of fundamental MSP guides, complemented with a literature review, key features of MSP principles are identified and developed into a scoring guide that assesses progress relative to each principle.
MSP Tools study
The objective of this study is to provide guidance to administrators in monitoring, evaluating and revising their maritime spatial plans, in particular in the context of the implementation of the Directive 2014/89/EU on Maritime Spatial Planning (or MSP Directive). To this end, a “guide” and a “toolbox” are provided below, and were designed based on literature review and expert interviews, tested in case studies and revised subsequentially.
