Maritime Spatial Planning

Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a process that brings together multiple users of the ocean - including energy, industry, government, conservation and recreation - to make informed and coordinated decisions about how to use marine resources sustainably. MSP generally uses maps to create a more comprehensive picture of a marine area - identifying where and how an ocean area is being used and what natural resources and habitat exist. It is similar to land-use planning, but for marine waters (Source: Wikipedia).

海洋空间规划（MSP）是一种将海洋的多元使用者——包括能源、工业、政府、保护与休闲等领域——汇聚一堂，共同作出关于如何可持续利用海洋资源的明智且协调一致的决策的过程。MSP通常运用地图绘制来构建一个更为全面的海洋区域图景——明确指出海洋区域的使用情况、利用方式，以及存在的自然资源和栖息地。此规划与土地利用规划相似，但针对的是海洋水域（资料来源：维基百科）。
