“…In order to ensure the necessary framework for a sustainable development of the Romanian coastal area, a balance must be ensured between the economic development, the protection and conservation of the natural, socio-cultural environment and meeting the needs of the local communities, given that the concept of sustainability covers virtually all the areas and sectors in which a development process takes place (Petrişor, 2017). Therefore, coastal, and maritime tourism must bring benefits to the local communities, being well known that tourism activity implies a complex of services engaged in a local economy, and their unsustainable development can put great pressure on the environment (Gogonea et al, 2021). Several studies in the specialized literature have identified, using exploratory methods, the similarities and differences between economic activities, so that in terms of different economic and financial indicators, they can be taken as benchmarks in business design at the level of the local economy (Mirea and Aivaz, 2016;Munteanu Florea and Aivaz, 2017).…”

In the context of maritime spatial planning (MSP), in order to achieve the sustainable development goals, an approach to the concept of multiple use (MU) is needed as a tool for the efficient management of the multiple activities which take place in the maritime space. The concept of multiple use (MU) is the intentional common approach / analysis of certain maritime activities and marine resources which are in close geographic proximity. In this context, the combination of maritime activities or uses, through joint operations or approaches, helps reduce spatial pressures on the sea and may create new opportunities for socio-economic development and for the protection of the marine environment. The aim of this paper is to analyze the perception of the stakeholders on identifying legislative and administrative barriers which adversely affect the implementation of the combination Tourism-Underwater Cultural Heritage-Environmental Protection in the Romanian coastal area, the Constanța-2 Mai sector, in the context of maritime spatial planning. The empirical analysis in this paper took into consideration the statistical description of the factors in the DABI catalogue (Drivers-Added values-Barriers-Impacts), selecting the Barriers category of factors and is based on data collected from stakeholders interested in maritime spatial planning, grouped into two categories: "local public entities" and "educational and research entities". As a result of the performed analysis, several recommendations were made in order to overcome the legislative and administrative barriers identified by the stakeholders. The obstacles identified by the local public entities and the educational and research entities in the Black Sea area may hinder the sustainable development of the area and need to be brought to the attention of the authorities and decision makers. The knowledge of these barriers for the optimal combination of various marine activities must be incorporated into the spatial decision support tools used in MSP.
