Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is an integrated and comprehensive approach to ocean governance and is used to establish a rational use of marine space and reconcile conflicting interests of its users. MSP allows both a high level of environmental protection and a wide range of human activities and emphasizes coordinated networks of national, regional and global institutions.
This book focuses on the framework of international law behind MSP and especially on the transboundary aspects of MSP. It first sets out a general framework for transboundary MSP and then moves on to compare and assess differences and similarities between different regions. Specific detailed case studies include the EU with the focus on the Baltic Sea and North Sea, the Bay of Bengal and Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The authors examine the national and regional significance of MSP from an integrated and sustainable ocean governance point of view. They also show how transboundary MSP can create opportunities and positive initiatives for cross-border cooperation and contribute to the effective protection of the regional marine environment.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"All in all, Transboundary Marine Spatial Planning and International Law provides important insights and analysis of the challenges and opportunities for transboundary MSP and the role of international law in this regard, and is complemented with illustrative case studies of how international law can shape transboundary MSP in diverse geographical, political, and institutional contexts. It is a reading appropriate for academics and MSP practitioners alike, particularly those considering embarking on a transboundary MSP process, and for those interested in transboundary marine management in general, including policy-makers." - Catarina Grilo, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal, in Ocean Yearbook 31 (2017).
