Description Internationally, marine spatial planning (MSP) is an
integral part of the decision-making protocol for setting
up activities in the marine zone, be it the
establishment of industries, exploration and mining
for oil and minerals, deciding of surface transport, ensuring
national security, exploitation of living and
non-living resources, or conservation and management
of resources and ecosystems. Satellite-based
technologies like remote sensing and geographic information
system are two powerful tools that provide
a common platform to present information on different
activities from the marine zone. This would enable
the planners and policymakers to interpret the interaction
between various factors and derive judicious
decisions on the allocation of space and resources to
different segments or activities in marine zone. This
article reviews how MSP is being used as a decisionsupport
tool in various countries for the peaceful
coexistence of different stakeholders in the marine
zone. It also discusses initiatives in India along with a
reminder on the responsibility of the country as a signatory
of international organizations to give importance
on developing MSP for the conservation of
resources as well as marine ecosystems.
