Whilst the concept for the website has come out of our desire to bring together material from various research and practical studies in which we have been involved and to set this work in the broader context of spatial planning and marine spatial planning research and practice, we want this website to serve as a living research and information portal for those involved or interested in the marine planning.
How you can contribute

Acknowledgements
The development of the site has been funded through an internal research grant provided by ABPmer and White Papers have been prepared by ABPmer marine policy specialists.
We are also particularly indebted to Jim Claydon, a former President of the RTPI, for advice on spatial planning concepts and for his comments on and contributions to draft texts.
Additionally, we thank the coastal and marine practitoners that have taken the time to complete case study proformas outlining how their projects have functioned.
