Study on the Economic Impact of Maritime Spatial Planning.

Abstract ‘The general objective of this study is to evaluate how MSP benefits specific blue economy sectors, with the aim to feed the results into relevant EU policies and Competent Authorities in charge of implementing Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). The specific aims of this study are twofold: to explore evidence of effects stemming from the current state of implementation of MSP, with a particular focus on economic effects; to provide Member States with additional information on how to maximise benefits from MSP.’
