“…A 'joined-up government' approach is an essential requirement in the planning and establishment of a global network of MPAs. The capacity of agencies involved in the coordination of the policy process is also key to the successful implementation and contributes to effective integrated ocean governance (Vince and Day 2020). The BBNJ treaty can provide the top-down governance structure aligned to existing United Nations principles and norms.…”

“…MSP is a public process of analysing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives that are usually specified through a political process (Ehler and Douvere 2009). MSP is designed to integrate sector-based decision making and supports the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity (Vince and Day 2020). There are a wide variety of other area based management tools in operation such as fisheries closures, catch limits, Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas, Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems, Areas of Particular Environmental Interest, and World Heritage Sites, all with various objectives that are used to manage human activities in the marine environment.11Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas have been identified and are used by the IMO; Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems are implemented by RFMOs; 9 Areas of Particular Environmental Interest intended to protect biodiversity of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone by the ISA; and World Heritage Sites established under the 1972 World Heritage Convention.…”

The main challenge to governing ocean resources fairly is understanding international relations around ocean issues, the incentives to cooperate, and approaches to improve cooperation and achieve consensus. We aim to discuss the current and future international relations around ocean issues and also to include the concept of fairness in how we are sharing the oceans' resources. This challenge uses marine protected areas (MPAs) as a case study to highlight key issues in moving from aBusiness-as-usual to More Sustainable future scenario by 2030. This paper will discuss/outline the strategies employed in governing the ocean resources and whether this is a fair system and explore the implementation or non-implementation of a global network of MPAs as a way to conserve and sustainably manage the future oceans' resources at state, regional and global levels. The pathway to achieving a More Sustainable future -builds on and extends theBusiness-as-usual practices. Current policy and regulatory settings provide the base for a More Sustainable future; for example, the new international legally binding instrument under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) is likely to further support such obligations.

“…Integration is a prominent concept in MSP literature for dealing with fragmented governance and policies offshore (Portman, 2011;Kidd, 2013;Smythe, 2017;Saunders et al, 2019;Smythe and McCann, 2019;Vince and Day, 2020). Despite the attention to integration in existing literature, this paper identifies and addresses three research gaps relating to MSP and integration: (1) the spatial dimension of MSP has receded into the background, (2) the various dimensions of integration remain illdefined, and (3) there is a lack of appreciation for the institutional changes that these integration efforts induce and require.…”

“…In the past decade, there has been a surge of literature on MSP that attribute a range of normative principles to MSP (Douvere, 2008;Portman, 2011;Flannery and Ó Cinnéide, 2012;Kidd, 2013;Qiu and Jones, 2013;Kidd and Shaw, 2014;Jones et al, 2016;Olsen et al, 2016;Smythe, 2017;Klinger et al, 2018;Gee et al, 2019;Kelly et al, 2019;Saunders et al, 2019;Smythe and McCann, 2019;Kidd et al, 2020;Spijkerboer et al, 2020;Vince and Day, 2020). Ehler (2014Ehler ( , 2018 categorized these principles, stating that MSP should be area-based, integrated, ecosystem-based, participatory, adaptive, and strategic.…”

The Institutional Dimension of Integration in Marine Spatial Planning: The Case of the Dutch North Sea Dialogues and Agreement

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) literature identifies various dimensions of integration to deal with fragmented, sectoral, and ad hoc approaches to managing various uses offshore. However, the spatial dimension of MSP has receded into the background, the dimensions of integration remain ill-defined, and there is a lack of appreciation for the institutional changes that these integration efforts induce and require. Moreover, in light of the urgency of energy transition, offshore wind farms (OWF) are often prioritized over other interests in MSP practice. This paper uses the case of the Dutch North Sea Dialogues (NSD) to explore to what extent actors during the NSD pursued formal and informal institutional change to progress the various dimensions of integration in line with the normative principles of MSP to improve spatial integration between OWF and other interests at sea. The NSD provided an, initially temporary, platform that proved key for stakeholders to pursue subsequent formal and informal institutional changes that progressed integration in MSP. While formal institutional changes were achieved during the NSD, informal institutional changes also proved fundamental in progressing various dimensions of integration. The NSD shows that incremental institutional change can be effective in progressing integration, but also shows the limits to this approach. The place-based and temporal dimensions of integration require additional attention because this is where stakeholders most notably rely on existing institutional frameworks and conflicts are most prominent.

“…Toonen and van Tatenhove (2020) and Karnad and St. Martin (2020) draw our attention to the role of non-state actors and the development of MSP-like processes beyond the state. Vince and Day (2020), Keijser et al (2020), and Said and Trouillet (2020) extended the analysis of power beyond the governance realm and analyse how 'taken-for-granted' terms like integration, learning, and knowledge are mobilized to shape MSP in specific ways.…”

A critical turn in marine spatial planning

Although area-based approaches to marine management have a long history, over the last 10-15 years marine spatial planning (MSP) has risen to become the dominant marine management paradigm. Spatial planning in the marine environment can, in part, be traced back to integrated coastal zone management (Agardy et al. 2011) and large marine ecosystem programs, such as the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Day 2002). However, a special issue in Marine Policy in 2008 (see Douvere and Elher 2008, for an introduction to this issue) and the publication of an associated UNESCO guidance document in 2009 (Elher and Douvere 2009) popularized and defined the concept of MSP more clearly. Since then, MSP has been widely promoted by academics, practitioners, and policymakers as a solution to a vast array of management issues. It has been presented, amongst other things, as a process for implementing ecosystem-based management in the marine environment (Foley et al. 2010), a mechanism for reducing user conflict (Tuda et al. 2014), a means of enhancing
