Advancing Maritime Spatial Planning in Outermost Regions
Main objectives
The MSP-OR project will enable French Guiana to:
- Move forward with knowledge;
- Provide the foundations for launching the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) principles;
- Support the first stages of the implementation process in this OR targeting the MSP zoning for 2023 in the sea region strategic document.
The MSP-OR project will enable the Macaronesian territory (Madeira, the Azores and the Canaries Islands) to deepen its knowledge and strengthen its basis for the implementation of the MSP. Furthermore, French Guiana will be supported in the early stages of the process which will be resulted through the writing of the Sea Strategic Basin Document (DSBM) in 2023.
The project will also support the preparation of the next planning phases in the other participating regions, while consolidating integrated ocean governance amongst neighbouring countries, on the basis of the MSP.
