What is MSP?
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a process of analysing and allocating parts of three-dimensional
marine spaces to specific uses, to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives that are
usually specified through a political process.
(UNESCO-IOC,2009)
![Page 16: Marine Spatial Planning and - MSPGLOBAL2030 · 2020. 11. 7. · Marine Spatial Planning and Sustainable Blue Economy Development in Ghana DISCLAIMER: The designations employed and](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071413/610bd8ea0aa1ce2a8454eb5c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

What’s not MSP?
• MSP is not a universal remedy other solutions other than planning
• MSP is not single sector planning and management e.g. strategic plans for ports and maritime industries
• MSP is not ocean zoning
• MSP is not a one-time process but its iterative
• MSP is not just a map
• MSP is not an ideal and rational process but political

• Visions, objectives and set of
policies
• Characterisation Areas
• No particular exclusion area
• Zoning and designating new
marine activities
• There are exclusion areas
• Current plan permits mixed uses
• National interest areas taken
into MSP plan, but MSP can
suggest new areas.
• Activities such as offshore wind
farms can be built outside the
designated areas
Marine Functional Zoning: Two-level
classification system, 8 zones and 22
subzones. New MFZ introduces:
• Marine Ecological Space (and a
redline zone where development

The Blue Economy
![Page 22: Marine Spatial Planning and - MSPGLOBAL2030 · 2020. 11. 7. · Marine Spatial Planning and Sustainable Blue Economy Development in Ghana DISCLAIMER: The designations employed and](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071413/610bd8ea0aa1ce2a8454eb5c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is Blue Economy?
22
Blue Economy refers to the sustainable development of ocean
resources (economic activities, assets, goods and services)
(Rio+20 conference)
The concept has evolved from being “business as usual” to
facilitating better stewardship-contribution to economic growth, social, cultural and environmental
well-being
![Page 23: Marine Spatial Planning and - MSPGLOBAL2030 · 2020. 11. 7. · Marine Spatial Planning and Sustainable Blue Economy Development in Ghana DISCLAIMER: The designations employed and](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071413/610bd8ea0aa1ce2a8454eb5c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example: Seychelles
(Strategic Policy Framework and Roadmap: Charting the Future 2018-2030)
Vision: “To develop a blue economy as a means of realizing the nation’s development potential through innovation, knowledge-led approach, being mindful of the need to conserve the integrity of the Seychelles marine environment and heritage for present and future generations”
Key pillars:
Economic diversification & resilience - to reduce economic vulnerability and reliance on a small number of sectors and to increase the % GDP derived from marine sectors
Shared prosperity – Creation of high value jobs and local investment opportunities
Food security and well-being
Integrity of habitats and ecosystem services, sustainable use, and climate resilience

MSP in Ireland: Context
• Legislation: The MSP Directive was originally transposed into national legislation in 2016 (SI 352 of 2016). In 2018 the regulations were repealed and replaced by Part 5 of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2018
• Planning Authority: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
• A hybrid plan: policies and definition of Strategic Maritime Activity zones
• Unique case of making series of marine legislation changes including Foreshore Act

Vision and Goals
• The visioning approach facilitates intersectoral coordination to define broader and desired future state for the entire blue economy to guide MSP
• Stakeholders are valuable sources of information for scoping and verification of results.
• Analysing the existing legislative frameworks and sector policies may highlight preferred future development trajectories to inform MSP

Defining Marine Planning Policies
32
Example of MPA policy : Proposals that support the objectives and the ecological coherence of marine protected areas (MPAs) network will be supported.
Proposals that may have adverse impacts on the objectives of MPAs must demonstrate that they will, in order of preference: a) avoid, b) minimise, or c) mitigate adverse impacts.

Take Home Messages
• Integrate MSP into mainstream coastal and marine management practice
• Improve coordination with all key MSP actors – private sector, traditional authorities, government agencies.
• MSP should be incremental – set clear goals, learn and adapt.

INTRODUCTION
• A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company and can eitheraffect or be affected by the business
• Marine spatial planning is a public process of analyzing and allocating thespatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas toachieve ecological, economic, and social objectives that usually have beenspecified through a political process (Ehler & Douvere, 2009) .
• In MSP, the term ‘Stakeholder’ is “an entity (group, person, organization,enterprise or administrative unit) with a stake in MSP - those affecting andaffected by acts of MSP (recognized as such or not)”, which includeinstitutions/authorities, NGOs, businesses, other countries, and the societyat large (Morf et al. 2017, p. 9).

WHY ACTIVELY INVOLVING STAKEHOLDERS IN MSP
• Encourages ownership of the plan, engenders trust among stakeholders anddecision-makers and voluntary compliance with rules and regulations.
• Improves understanding of the complexity (spatial, temporal) and humaninfluences of the marine management area.
• Develops a mutual and shared understanding about the problems andchallenges in the management area.
• Examines existing and potential compatibility and/or conflicts of multipleuse objectives of the management area.

WHY ACTIVELY INVOLVING STAKEHOLDERS IN MSP
• Aids the generation of new options, consensus and solutions thatmay not have been considered individually.
• Expands and diversifies the capacity of the planning team,through the inclusion of secondary and tertiary information (e.g.local knowledge and traditions).
• Increases understanding of underlying (often sector-oriented)desires, perceptions and interests that stimulate and/or prohibitintegration of policies in the management area.

Challenges with stakeholder participation and cooperation
• Stakeholder awareness and mobilization
• Language and terminology (technical languages)
• Escalation of conflicts and distrust
• Time and timing issues
• Resources and capacity
![Page 79: Marine Spatial Planning and - MSPGLOBAL2030 · 2020. 11. 7. · Marine Spatial Planning and Sustainable Blue Economy Development in Ghana DISCLAIMER: The designations employed and](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071413/610bd8ea0aa1ce2a8454eb5c/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
• MSP is a cyclical process, requiring different types and intensities of SI at different times.
• MSP is a multi-layered process with many overlapping phases.
• Crucial questions to be asked before embarking on stakeholder participation are why, who, when and how.
• Time, resources, capacity and facilitation skills are crucial contributors to stakeholder participation.
CONCLUSION
![Page 80: Marine Spatial Planning and - MSPGLOBAL2030 · 2020. 11. 7. · Marine Spatial Planning and Sustainable Blue Economy Development in Ghana DISCLAIMER: The designations employed and](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071413/610bd8ea0aa1ce2a8454eb5c/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
CONCLUSION
• Like MSP, stakeholder participation is a learning process, so don’t be afraid to try out new things or to make mistakes.
• It is a good idea to keep records and to document each step of the way –what was done, when, how, and why, and did it meet the set objectives
• At the same time, SI is not a silver bullet that will automatically lead to a fair process or a balanced outcome.
• the process of SI may be just as important as a result, e.g. building trust and discovering potential synergies amongst stakeholders.

Group Exercise – MSP Game
INTRODUCTION
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: The Government of Ghana has published a national plan, announcing a support-fund for marine initiatives to boost Ghana’s blue economy.
• This implies that the seas will get busier.
• There will be more competition for space and more potential for conflict.
• There are opportunities for sectors to work together to achieve mutual benefit
• We need to work across sectors (and boundaries) to make the most of what we have.
• To help highlight the challenges of working together, we are going to start with a game.

There are 3 groups. Each Group represents a Planning Consultancy Team (PCT)
Each of the 3 PCTs has been tasked to advice Government on the following:
1. Which marine industries should be prioritized in Ghana’s MSP? List top 3 priorities.
2. What are the main conflicts (existing and potential) to be addressed in this initiative?
3. Recommend the next steps for Ghana’s MSP process to enhance Blue Economy.
***Each Group has 30 minutes to execute their tasks and 15 minutes to present their results with explanations.*** GOOD LUCK!!!

DISCUSSION
1. Bonus points for the team which included measures for achieving good environmental status in their priority list.• Do you think conservation is critical for Ghana’s Blue Economy?
2. Challenges of working together, across sectors – Negotiation and Trade-offs (whatever approach we take, there are winners and losers).• How easy was it for members of the team to accept the suggested
priorities?• For those whose sectors were not prioritized, how did you feel? What
convinced you to give in?
3. Opportunities for synergies• Can there be synergies among some marine industries?
