Introduction

Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a process that guides when and where human activities occur in the marine environment to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives. It involves the systematic analysis of marine and coastal data and the application of decision-making tools to inform spatial allocation of marine resources and activities. In recent years, the complexity of marine environments and the increasing demands on marine resources have highlighted the need for effective decision support tools in MSP.

Marine spatial planning decision support tools are tools used to facilitate the decision-making process in MSP by providing spatially explicit information on various factors such as ecosystem services, economic activities, conservation priorities, and social preferences. These tools help stakeholders and decision-makers assess trade-offs, identify conflicts, and determine the best spatial allocation of marine activities to achieve sustainable development goals.

This thesis aims to explore the use of decision support tools in marine spatial planning and evaluate their effectiveness in facilitating informed decision-making processes. The study will focus on analyzing the current state of decision support tools in MSP, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and proposing recommendations for improving their usability and efficiency.
