The concept of “Marine spatial planning” is subject to a diverse range of titles depending on the geographic location of the marine body and the country leading on its theoretical development and practical implementation. The European Union refers to the process as Maritime spatial planning (European Commission, 2008) while England considers the process as Marine planning (Natural England, 2015). Norway refers to it as Integrated management (The Royal Norwegian Ministry of the Environment, 2005)…
