海洋空间规划 (MSP) 是一门快速发展的学科,由欧盟委员会提议的指令表示,旨在为欧盟水域和沿海地区的 MSP 和综合沿海管理创建一个通用框架。设得兰群岛的海洋空间规划 (SMSP) 于 2006 年首次制定,是英国最先进的规划之一。凭借在设得兰群岛水域 MSP 和综合海岸带管理 (ICZM) 的七年经验,以及 2014 年 SMSP 的未决法定实施,设得兰群岛代表了该学科在实践中监测和评估的典型案例研究。 2012 年进行了一次审查,以评估和监测 SMSP 迄今为止的有效性。这项工作突出了迄今为止的成就、未来的挑战和机遇,并有助于指导即将出版的 SMSP 版本的发展。 MSP 和 ICZM 的知识和实践经验的共享确保了在解决不确定性随时间变化的适应性方法。还必须了解,该学科的早期“先驱”可能不会在第一次尝试时就完全正确,但通过开发最初的先例和流程,这些可以在未来建立。
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a fast evolving discipline signified by the European Commission's proposed directive to create a common framework for MSP and integrated coastal management in EU waters and coastal areas. The Shetland Islands’ Marine Spatial Plan (SMSP) first developed in 2006 is one of the most advanced in the UK. With seven years’ experience of MSP and integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) in Shetland's waters, and the pending statutory implementation of the SMSP in 2014, Shetland represents an exemplar case study for the monitoring and evaluation of this discipline in practice. A review was carried out in 2012 to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the SMSP to date.This exercise highlighted achievements to date, future challenges and opportunities and helped to guide the development of the forthcoming edition of the SMSP. The sharing of knowledge and practical experiences of MSP and ICZM ensures an adaptive approach in addressing uncertainty over time. It is also imperative to understand that early ‘pioneers’ in this discipline may not get it exactly right on the first attempt but by developing initial precedents and processes, these can be built upon in the future.
