Introduction

Coastal development has increased rapidly in recent decades, leading to various negative impacts on marine ecosystems. These impacts include habitat destruction, pollution, overfishing, and loss of biodiversity. In response to these challenges, marine spatial planning (MSP) has emerged as a tool for sustainable management of marine activities and resources. MSP aims to balance competing interests and reduce conflicts among stakeholders by allocating space and resources in a coordinated and integrated manner.

This thesis evaluates the effectiveness of marine spatial planning in mitigating the impacts of coastal development on marine ecosystems. By examining case studies and analyzing existing literature, this study seeks to identify key factors that contribute to the success or failure of MSP initiatives in protecting marine biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Thesis Overview: Evaluating the Use of Marine Spatial Planning in Mitigating the Impacts of Coastal Development on Marine Ecosystems

Coastal development poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems worldwide, with potential negative consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services. Marine spatial planning (MSP) has emerged as a promising tool for addressing these challenges by promoting sustainable management of marine activities and resources. This thesis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MSP in mitigating the impacts of coastal development on marine ecosystems through a comprehensive literature review, case studies analysis, and research methodology. By examining the key factors that contribute to the success or failure of MSP initiatives, this study seeks to provide practical recommendations for improving MSP effectiveness and promoting the conservation of marine biodiversity.
