The multiple anthropogenic activities taking place in the marine environment increase and create a high demand for maritime space. The pressures generated thereof on coastal and marine resources require an integrated planning and management approach. The MSPD (2014/89/EU) forms the legislative framework to regulate maritime activities and ensure a sustainable use of the marine environment. Based on the MSFD (2008/56/EC), the present study provides an overview of the state of the marine environment in Greece and the existing pressures while examining the potential contribution of MSFD knowledge to the MSPD implementation, identifying possible knowledge gaps for the subsequent MSP process phases. It is supported that the MSFD constitutes the best available scientific knowledge about the ecosystem and its dynamics, and provides an open access database which should be optimally used in the MSP process. The MSFD data provided concerning Greece can support the implementation of the MSP process, as the MSFD qualitative descriptors of state and pressures feed MSP sectors with environmental data essential for the MSP application, and weigh the intensity of each descriptor contribution to this interrelationship. Considering MSPD requires the adoption of an ecosystem-based approach, it can only attain its goals based on MSFD input and aspirations.

MSFD 对海洋环境的深入了解是在希腊进行海洋空间规划的垫脚石

海洋环境中发生的多种人为活动增加并产生了对海洋空间的高需求。其对沿海和海洋资源产生的压力需要综合规划和管理方法。MSPD (2014/89/EU) 构成了监管海事活动和确保可持续利用海洋环境的立法框架。基于 MSFD (2008/56/EC)，本研究概述了希腊的海洋环境状况和现有压力，同时检查了 MSFD 知识对 MSPD 实施的潜在贡献，确定了可能存在的知识差距随后的 MSP 流程阶段。支持 MSFD 构成了有关生态系统及其动态的最佳可用科学知识，并提供一个开放存取的数据库，该数据库应该在 MSP 过程中得到最佳使用。提供的有关希腊的 MSFD 数据可以支持 MSP 流程的实施，因为 MSFD 状态和压力的定性描述符为 MSP 部门提供 MSP 应用所必需的环境数据，并权衡每个描述符对这种相互关系的贡献的强度。考虑到 MSPD 需要采用基于生态系统的方法，它只能基于 MSFD 的输入和愿望实现其目标。并权衡每个描述符对这种相互关系的贡献的强度。考虑到 MSPD 需要采用基于生态系统的方法，它只能基于 MSFD 的输入和愿望实现其目标。并权衡每个描述符对这种相互关系的贡献的强度。考虑到 MSPD 需要采用基于生态系统的方法，它只能基于 MSFD 的输入和愿望实现其目标。
