A Decade of Maritime Spatial Planning

Published in July 2024, this study serves as a comprehensive analysis to understand the evolution of MSP across the European sea basins. 

Produced by the MSP Assistance Mechanism and funded by CINEA/DG MARE (European Commission), the study analyses initiatives supported by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and the European Maritime, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF). 

By examining 32 projects and 262 project reports spanning 2014 to 2024, it highlights project achievements, identifies persistent, resolved and emergent challenges, and sheds light on best practices that have shaped and supported the MSP community over the past decade
