The relationship between the Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008/56/EC (MSFD) and the Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) process has been analyzed to understand which is the dominant process or where there is an overlap. In this contribution, we used the case study of the three archipelagos: Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands, included in the...
The main challenge of PLASMAR Project is addressing the implementation of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU (MSPD) within the present framework of emerging maritime activities linked to Blue Growth development and within the limits of ecosystem-based management.
