“…Additionally, the Country also needs to review or re-establish its following management strategies: i) national ocean policy/strategy; ii) maritime/blue economy strategy; iii) sectoral policies and management plans; iv) sea area use laws; v) regional and local development programs; and vi) renewable energy targets. According to Hassan and Ashraf 61 MSP plays a vital role in the implementation of sustainable ocean governance and achieving the goals of the blue economy. This would involve identifying the potential of the coastal and marine areas, assessing the environmental impacts, and identifying the areas where economic activities could be carried out sustainably.…”

Coastal states are currently transitioning their traditional socio-economic activities into a single platform to address the emerging issues of the coast and marine environment. For countries like Pakistan, managing multiple coastal and marine activities is a significant challenge. The lack of proper management policies and an inefficient decision-making process put various types of pressure on the ecological functions of Pakistan's coastal and marine areas. The Government of Pakistan has not yet prioritized coastal and marine affairs in its policy agenda, resulting in a halt to the process of sustainable development. Moreover, a lack of financial allocation for large-scale coastal and marine projects, a shortage of trained human resources, insufficient coordination among organizations, and unstable political decisions and governance impede the sustainable delivery of the projects. This paper discusses Pakistan's coastal and marine policy targets and highlights various issues through PESTLE analysis, which encompasses political (P), economic (E), social (S), technological (T), legal (L), and environmental (E) factors that limit the advancement of sustainable coastal and marine development. This paper aims to determine the advantages of adopting marine spatial planning (MSP) in Pakistan and how its implementation can bring social, ecological, and economic prosperity. The study provides a baseline for the country's coastal and marine policymakers regarding the advancement of a blue economy through MSP.

“…CMT is highly dependent on the quality of natural ecosystems to attract visitors but at the same time contributes strongly to their depletion and fragilization, hence putting its own sustainability at risk (Tonazzini et al 2019). Consequently, research has identified CMT in many cases as a controversial issue, which strongly warrants consideration of the concept of sustainable development (Islam et al 2013;Hossain et al 2014;Islam and Shamsuddoha 2018;Hassan and Alam 2019;Hussain, Failler, and Sarker 2019;Patil, Failler, and Alam 2019). Therefore, the issues of developing and promoting CMT demand critical analysis to maximize the positive impacts and to reduce the negative impacts and ensure sustainable CMT.…”

“…Islands constitute economic, social, cultural, and strategic heritage that supports 20% of the global biodiversity (IUCN 2020). Some policies and acts, along with other legal documents (see Table A10.1 in the Appendix), have created "windows of opportunity" for Bangladesh, allowing and recommending tourism development in the coastal and marine environment for the greater interest of the country on which it can base sociocultural, economic, environmental, and institutional development (Islam 2010;Islam, Iftekhar, and Islam 2011;Islam et al 2013;Hossain et al 2014;Islam and Shamsuddoha 2018;Hassan and Alam 2019;Hussain, Failler, and Sarker 2019;Patil, Failler, and Alam 2019).…”

Making Marine Spatial Planning Matter

Over the last decade, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has become one of the key components of marine governance. In the European Union, member states are working towards the development of their first plans under the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive. Internationally, UNESCO and the European Commission have launched their MSP Global initiative to speed up the implementation of MSP around the world. MSP is also framed as being a key mechanism for sustainably realising the benefits of the Blue Economy and emerging Green Deals. During this same period, however, a substantial body of critical academic work has emerged that questions whether the implementation of MSP will transform unsustainable marine governance and management practices. This scholarship illustrates that the current trajectory of many MSP initiatives is to preserve the status quo and that they fail to adequately address longstanding marine governance issues. Drawing on Flyvbjerg’s vital treatise on phronetic social science, this chapter will explore: where is MSP going; who gains and loses, and how they do so; is this desirable, and if not, what can be done to make MSP matter? I particularly focus on mechanisms of winning and losing, characterising them as key tensions in MSP processes that can be unsettled to make MSP more transformative.
