Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a tool for managing and improving marine environments. The field is dominated by natural scientists and has not been commonly associated with planning. This research analyzes the MSP literature to explore how planners can contribute to MSP research and practice. We organize the literature into eight themes, focusing on how planners may be able to contribute to MSP research and practice: ocean zoning, defining boundaries, planning in dynamic environments, stakeholder involvement, information needs, integrating ocean and land-use management, managing multiple and conflicting uses, and transboundary institutional structures. We conclude that planners have a lot to contribute in these eight areas.

海洋空间规划

海洋空间规划（MSP）是一种管理和改善海洋环境的工具。该领域由自然科学家主导，通常与规划无关。本研究分析了 MSP 文献，以探索规划者如何为 MSP 研究和实践做出贡献。我们将文献分为八个主题，重点关注规划者如何能够为 MSP 研究和实践做出贡献：海洋分区、定义边界、动态环境中的规划、利益相关者的参与、信息需求、整合海洋和土地使用管理、管理多个和相互冲突的用途，以及跨界体制结构。我们得出的结论是，规划者在这八个领域可以做出很多贡献。
