The notion of marine spatial planning (MSP) has recently emerged as a means improving administration. By tracing its origins and investigating the key themes involved in promotion MSP, this article shows that it is best understood an adoption by coastal interests rather than offshore extension existing practice. MSP being constructed around norms assumptions management, underlain scientific rationalism. However, also marks shift towards thinking for environment, deliberate attempts are taken...
It is widely acknowledged that marine spatial planning (MSP) should be responsive to the dynamism of environment and relatively tenuous human relationship with sea. However, MSP remains conceptualised within rationalistic terms limit this potential. This article places context theory holds greater promise for developing more progressive practice. Firstly, interrelation current notions soft space (less formal, cross-cutting spatialities) explored, suggesting expressing some geographical...
Abstract Marine spatial planning is taking on greater international significance as a response to increased perceived threats the marine environment and need for more systematic maritime governance. It also expands horizons of leads calls interdisciplinary research support its development. This special issue brings together papers focusing active engagement natural social science perspectives in formation strategies concerned with future well-being seas oceans.

Marine spatial planning is emerging as an integrated, resource management-led approach to governing the use of seas. Recent initiatives include those some north European countries, including Germany, which has now completed a plan for its federal offshore territory. In this article, analysis presented pioneering and consultation process behind production, with particular emphasis on treatment different sectoral interests around was structured. This revealed attempts coordinate not only...
Drawing on developments in conceptualizing space within human geography, planning thought has begun to consider the possibilities of relational and socially constructed, as opposed physically deterministic, understandings space. This article considers relevance this debate emerging field marine planning, experience sea suggests that a interpretation may be pertinent efforts environment. hypothesis is explored by means an empirical study views representatives commercial shipping sector...
Within the recent uptake of marine planning as a more systematic approach to managing sea, an appeal is being made zoning appropriate mechanism for spatial organisation sea uses. This article explores notion within context history and long-standing critique land-use zoning, considers additional difficulties applying this in setting. Although adjustments principles have assisted its implementation at inherent tensions remain, arising from rationalist basis divisive approach, are exacerbated...
ABSTRACT South Africa is regarded as a leading developing country in terms of SEA practice, but no empirical research has been conducted to determine the overall status and extent practice. This lack amongst extensive practice can be considered major lost opportunity for Africa, also countries general. paper presents results survey on period 1996 2003. A total 50 SEAs were confirm that well established increase. Moreover compares with most international systems, variety tiers, types scales...
