With the increased emphasis on charting ocean sustainability narratives, marine spatial planning (MSP) is envisioned as a key tenet. MSPs emphasize systematic and collaborative management of space (resources activities) for benefit all users. Regions that have implemented MSP based stakeholder engagement are progressively realizing better outcomes. Unfortunately, in developing coastal states, progress toward largely pedestrian has attracted less interest. This partly due to archaic coastal/marine resource models dominated by few powerful stakeholders. worsened increasing human-environmental shocks, which creating bleak futures. Our study systematically sourced 12,316 documents from Scopus were analyzed using bibliometrics (i) conduct performance analysis, (ii) scientific mapping analysis (iii) identify game-changing developments can drive sustainability.

Fisheries social-ecological systems (SES) in the North Sea region confront multifaceted challenges stemming from environmental changes, offshore wind farm expansion, and marine protected area establishment. In this paper, we demonstrate utility of a Bayesian Belief Network (BN) approach comprehensively capturing assessing intricate spatial dynamics within German plaice-related fisheries SES. The BN integrates ecological, economic, socio-cultural factors to generate high-resolution maps profitability adaptive capacity potential (ACP) as prospective management targets. Our analysis future scenarios, delineating changes constraints, economics, aspects, identifies that will exert significant influence on SES near future. These include loss fishing grounds due installation farms areas, well reduced plaice landings climate change. identified ACP hotspots hold guide development localized strategies sustainable planning efforts by highlighting consequences decisions. findings emphasize need consider detailed (MSP) illustrate how information may assist decision-makers practitioners prioritization. We, therefore, propose adopting concept broader integrated approaches foster inherently dynamic rapidly evolving environment.

The global industrialization of seascapes and climate change leads to an increased risk severe impacts on marine ecosystem functioning. While broad scale spatio-temporal assessments human pressures ecosystems become more available, future trajectories activities at regional local scales remain often speculative. Here we introduce a stepwise process integrate bottom-up expert-driven approaches for scenario development inform cumulative effects related spatial planning (MSP). Following this guidance, developed optimistic, realistic, pessimistic scenarios major in the German North Sea such as bottom trawling, offshore wind, nutrient discharge, aggregate extraction. forecasts comprise quantitative estimates relation footprint, intensity, technological advancements those years 2030 2060. Using network analyses, assessed interactions current thereby accounting growing need conservation. Our results show that distributions could be are spatially refined included MSP process.

Abstract Marine spatial planning (MSP) is the key to attaining global ocean sustainability targets related blue economy (BE) and inclusive tapping of resources. Although there has been robust progress in promoting MSP, e.g., European Union (EU), most countries have yet develop comprehensive strategies focused on which could affect fragile ecosystems vulnerable livelihoods that are already affected by anthropogenic impacts natural/environmental pressures. Even within EU, MSPs developed only individual or specific maritime zones. One gaps identified literature limited knowledge stakeholder engagement MSP process. Our study tries bridge this gap, we used a mixed research approach—i.e., systematically reviewed 86 articles MSP—and conducted informant interview intending identify what type stakeholders needed process; how, when, where they be involved; how impact sustainable economy? The findings revealed systematic process different at levels temporal scales. In addition, approach involve required based given region's governance region. marine resource user conflicts hamper use resources solved through MSP. for bring fore help design more effective participatory conservation interventions meet targets.
