Abstract

The need for adequate planning and management of marine areas has been progressively realised due to the prevalent and ever-increasing ‘use-conflicts’ in time and space, amongst different maritime sectors. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is an effective approach to ensure marine conservation and prevent over-exploitation of marine resources by sustainably utilizing its economic potential. Literature review in the Indian context indicates that studies have been undertaken in the sphere of blue economy and acknowledging the importance of MSP in specific sectors such as fisheries and marine resource management. However, studies on possible approach and guiding methodology for real application of MSP in the context of Indian coasts seem to be meagre. The current paper attempts to present the relevance of MSP in coastal zone management planning in India, through a unique MSP framework developed for the state of Odisha and also discusses possible strengthening of the institutional structure. The paper concludes by highlighting some key opportunities and challenges for Marine Spatial Planning in India. One of the major contributions of this study would be its possible use by relevant stakeholders, in the application of MSP for marine area management in varying spatial jurisdictions.

Research highlights

1.
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) framework to be contextualized and used in Indian context, in order to tap the nation's latent blue economy potential while also ensuring protection of its marine environment.
2.
Comprehensive application of MSP will facilitate integrated and informed decision making by government agencies and establishments concerned with the management of marine areas.
3.
A replicable and ecosystem based - adaptable approach to mainstream MSP in the Integrated Coastal Zone Management process.
4.
Stakeholder consultations including participatory exercises for conflict identification makes the findings broad based and sensitive to ground realities for addressing dynamics of marine areas.

海洋空间规划在沿海地区管理规划中的重要性：印度背景下的机遇与挑战–奥里萨邦案例研究

摘要

由于不同海事部门之间在时间和空间上普遍且不断增加的“使用冲突”，逐步实现了对海域进行适当规划和管理的需要。海洋空间规划（MSP）是通过持续利用其经济潜力来确保海洋保护和防止过度开发海洋资源的有效方法。印度的文献综述表明，已经在蓝色经济领域进行了研究，并确认了MSP在诸如渔业和海洋资源管理等特定部门中的重要性。但是，对于在印度洋沿岸实际应用MSP的可能方法和指导方法的研究似乎微不足道。当前的论文试图介绍MSP在印度沿海地区管理规划中的相关性，通过为奥里萨邦开发的独特MSP框架，还讨论了可能加强体制结构的问题。文章最后总结了印度海洋空间规划的一些关键机遇和挑战。这项研究的主要贡献之一是相关利益相关者可能在将MSP应用于不同空间管辖区的海域管理中使用它。
