Abstract

This Directive establishes a framework for maritime spatial planning aimed at promoting the sustainable growth of maritime economies, the sustainable development of marine areas and the sustainable use of marine resources. Within the Integrated Maritime Policy of the European Union, this framework provides for the establishment and implementation by Member States of maritime spatial planning, with the aim of contributing to the sustainable development of energy sectors at sea, of maritime transport, and of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, and to the preservation, protection and improvement of the environment, including resilience to climate change impacts. These provisions specifically refer and regulate maritime areas adjacent to coastal states and do not extend nor interfere with the competence exercised by Member States over territorial land.
