Assessing the viability of Stakeholders’ Engagement in Marine Spatial Planning and its Implications for a Sustainable Blue Economy

“…A study in Japan clearly documented examples of key national stakeholders in its MSP ecosystem, e.g., the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; local authorities (such as the Nakatsu City O ce and the Oita Prefectural Government); educational research institutions (such as Oita University and Bunri University); businesses (such as TOTO and local industries and restaurants); the NPO Nakatsu Waterfront Conservation Association [92]; Advisory committees [23]; and researchers and surveyors, e.g., in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) [38]. At the regional level, key stakeholders may include regional commercial sheries [83]; regional management organizations; conservationists, e.g., in the tourism and wildlife sector [82]; and regional sheries management organizations (RFMOs), e.g., the South Paci c Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO) and the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), among others [93]; regional bodies, e.g., the EU [22]; and the Caribbean [94]. Some of the stakeholders in the BE context include aquaculture producers, tourism operators and recreational industry users; shipping companies; oil and gas; mariculture; transport and infrastructure; governance (local, provincial, and national government) [21], [29], [95]; national/regional media actors [50]; and civil servants [51].…”
