European seas are encountering an upsurge in competing marine activities and infrastructures. Traditional exploitation such as fisheries, tourism, transportation, oil production accompanied by new sustainable economic offshore windfarms, aquaculture, tidal wave energy.

MUPS can be understood areas sea, designated for a combination activities, either completely integrated...
