There is an assumption that marine activities, particularly seafood-based activities, are an important source of employment and income in poor coastal areas. Linking the 2010 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) for England with the 2010 Business Structure Dataset (BSD), this paper examines whether employment in the marine sector is concentrated in areas of high deprivation as is assumed. Merging the IMD 2010 with the BSD allows us to examine rates of marine-based employment and their location both across (inter) and within (intra) regions. This analysis provides the first empirical evidence that employment in the marine sector, particularly fishing and seafood processing, are located in areas with higher than average deprivation, even if the overall regional rate of deprivation is relatively low (the South East and the South West of England). Methodologically, this analysis indicates that an index such as the IMD based on a wide range of social and economic data can be used to understand the socioeconomic impacts of a sector within an area. Whilst most importantly this paper further demonstrates that intra-regional analysis is more insightful in exploring the geographical socioeconomic impact of the marine sector than inter-regional level analysis. With regard to the academic contribution, this paper also aims to conceptualise marine activity as a core economic activity located both in peripheral and non-peripheral areas.

Although a necessary approach in many cases, implementing Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) reveals discrepancies between theory and practice. These discrepancies include the major importance given to technical issues along with the role and meaning ascribed to the "spatial" dimension at the expense of the "strategic" one. This gives rise to questions especially from the point of view of fisheries that invite to develop a more in-depth critical analysis of MSP. Far from considering the technical and political dimensions in opposition, the goal is to find out whether the reasoning used can be turned around, or in other words, whether the potential of a mapping instrument can be used to give greater importance and more visibility to strategic questions in MSP processes. Our reflection is based on methods used to map fisheries. It is also enhanced by notions such as empowerment and asserting the value of non-scientific knowledge in-situ. To test the strengths and shortcomings of this idea, it was applied in the context of an ongoing 2010 experiment between scientists (geographers and statisticians), fishers and fishers' representatives in metropolitan France. They have been working together for several years and have gradually expanded their scope to now include almost three-quarters of French metropolitan fleets (around 3,250 vessels). This experiment shows that fishers and their representatives are not only able to generate spatial data using robust methods (almost 6,000 surveys have already been conducted), but more importantly that they are also able to draw on this knowledge and participate in debates in a more effective manner, taking on the role of "real actors". This has enabled a more political alternative to take shape, full of promise and giving rise to new questions.

“…For example, participatory mapping is a tool that can help wind energy planners and industry alike by asking the fishing community to identify and assign a relative importance value to productive fishing grounds and associated supporting services (e.g., Klain and Chan 2012). Efforts to identify important fishing grounds may use data from vessel monitoring systems (VMS) for empirical analysis (Fock 2008), or vessel trip reports (VTR) to quantify net revenue of commercial fishing at specific locations (Jin, Hoagland, and Wikgren 2013). Hoagland et al (2015) quantified regional economic impacts and welfare effects from a complete spatial exclusion of commercial fishing in one area of the northwestern Atlantic from offshore wind facilities.…”

Marine spatial planning (MSP) offers an operational framework to address sustainable and well-planned use of ocean space. Spatial allocation has traditionally been single-sector, which fails to account for multiple pressures on the marine environment and user conflicts. There is a need for integrated assessments of ocean space to advance quantitative tools and decision-making. Using the example of offshore wind energy, this article offers thoughts about how MSP has evolved in the United States and how the varying scales of MSP achieve different outcomes. Finally, a review of quantitative and qualitative studies that are needed to support MSP are presented.Key Words: MSP, Tradeoffs, Stakeholder Engagement, Offshore Wind EnergyThe oceans and coasts host countless recreational, commercial, scientific, and security-related activities that often occur near the areas determined as and managed for resource protection and conservation goals (The White House Council on Environmental Quality 2010). Today, human activities -fishing, shipping, cable crossings, pipelines, and recreational activities -require a considerable amount of ocean space and place stress on marine ecosystems. Marine spatial planning (MSP) considers the interaction among various uses of the ocean in spatial and temporal scales and represents a powerful method for reconciling diverse and often seemingly overlapping needs of ocean users. As human development has expanded on land, constraints and future developments have long been managed through land use policies that employ zoning and land use restrictions (e.g., Sanchirico et al. 2010), but
