Marine Spatial Planning: International and National Regulation
The Center has prepared a review (in Russian) of the main relevant international instruments and approaches to the implementation of MSP and relevant national legislation in a number of countries, such as Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, and Mozambique. The experience of these countries shows the variability of national regulation of this instrument of maritime space management and can be used in determining Russian approaches to the regulation of MSP.
