MRC's take on MSP
Marine Spatial Planning is a visionary and multi-faceted approach to managing our oceanic resources. It represents the epitome of collaborative decision-making, balancing the economic, social, and environmental aspects of marine activities. By incorporating advanced data analysis and focusing on the unique needs of each domain in the marine environment, MSP stands as an indispensable tool in the sustainable management of our oceans. Its comprehensive, adaptive nature ensures not only the resolution of current marine challenges but also fosters a sustainable, prosperous relationship with our marine spaces for future generations.
A New Perspective Based on the UDA Framework
The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) has become a key arena for geopolitical and geo-strategic interactions in the 21st century. Nations both within and outside the region are deploying strategic assets there. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is crucial for governing and managing challenges and opportunities in marine and freshwater systems. By mapping resources accurately, addressing security and sustainability concerns, and deploying policy and technology interventions, MSP enables efficient exploitation of these vast systems.
