Abstract
Maritime Spatial Planning emerged worldwide as an important policy tool for planning efficiently marine resource and sustainable development of maritime space. It can also be used to strengthen cross-border cooperation and to support improved ocean governance.
The overall objective of MSP-MED is to favour the MSP Directive's implementation in the Mediterranean Sea, by supporting the establishment of coherent and coordinated maritime spatial plans across the Mediterranean, for promoting a sustainable and long lasting "blue" development. The MSP-MED project will capitalize the results of important EC-funded projects on MSP, recently carried out and ongoing, involving a large part of the EU Member States of the Mediterranean and their MSP Competent Authorities, promoting also the active participation of the other MS and of non-EU Mediterranean countries.
