International MSPforum

One of the actions of the joint MSProadmap adopted by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the European Commission (DG MARE) is to establish an international forum for discussion and exchange, offering concrete examples and guidelines on how to apply Maritime/Marine Spatial Planning: the MSPforum.

Workshops have been organized in different regions having as target audiences:

> Policy makers and practitioners engaged in MSP

> Local and regional authorities engaged in the planning and management of the land-sea interface

> NGOs addressing marine protection

> Maritime sectors and industry stakeholders dealing with planning and spatial use

> Academics engaged in MSP and/or the Blue Economy

The MSPforum covers MSP-related topics such as:

> Cross-sector integration in MSP

> Indicators and measurements for MSP

> Taking into account the land-sea interface in MSP

> Applying the ecosystem-based approach

> Cross-border / transboundary cooperation
