“…Analogamente, de acordo com a pesquisa realizada por Calado et al (2019), a maior resistência encontrada em estudos realizados sobre parcerias entre setores marítimos que envolvam os empreendimentos eólicos offshore são seus impactos visuais negativos. Entretanto, a visão desses autores sobre esta relação não é focada em seus conflitos, pelo contrário.…”

Offshore Wind Farms (OWF) are emerging around the world as transformation drivers for countries seeking out energy autonomy and development while taking a stand in the fight against climate change. However, OWF projects can also generate externalities, especially in coastal cities which rely on Tourism and Recreation (T&R), sectors highly dependent on marine space and landscape, and the analysis of this mutual influence seems to persist outside the academic radar. To assess this possible research gap, articles published in the past 5 years about the sitting of offshore wind turbines in coastal areas with the characteristics above mentioned are analysed. As a result, possible conflicts and synergies were found in different parts of the world. Three factors result as the most relevant to determine the occurrence of conflicts: spatial limitation - location of the turbines, security flaws due to incompatible uses and depreciation of the landscape. In addition, the articles considered here become indicators of the current literary production on the subject and, thus, confirm the insufficient academic development of this topic. Overall, the occurrence of conflicts appears strongly linked to the lack of integration and communication between the sectors analysed throughout the different project stages. On the other hand, it is found that synergies based on T&R tend to obtain a greater degree of success; thus, the combinations between OWF and T&R are evaluated as possible and probably notorious and prosperous if an adequate mapping and management of coastal sectors is carried out. In conclusion, a meticulous and specific assessment of the tourist and recreational impacts generated by the installation of a potential offshore wind farm is considered an indispensable practice to be carried out in coastal areas with a high density of tourist and recreational activities in the search for sustainable and synergistic development.

“…In any case, no author was identified to have objections about the complexity of a multi-use MSP with regard to technological requirements, governance arrangements, financial settings and socio-economic and environmental aspects. Thus, to identify realistic and sustainable solutions and designs for multi-use MSP, there is, first of all, a need for early stakeholder engagement in the process of planning and MU implementation [26] and of participatory design processes involving a range of stakeholders representing the private sector from various marine industries and marine groups, public authorities, researchers and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) [19,21,22]. In particular, van den Burg et al…”

“…The "multi-use concept" is encountered in different forms in the literature. The prevailing ones are a: the well-known multi-use platforms (MUP) [3,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and b: the multi-use of space (MUS) [15,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31], meant as the combination of a series of marine industry sectors aiming to produce complementarities resulting in mutual benefits and surplus, through co-location and common infrastructure but without a common platform.…”

“…Being a novel management feature in MSP process, "multi-use" is progressively more and more considered in areas where intensity of uses occurs, e.g., in the North Sea or in the Eastern Atlantic [26,32,37]. Jentoft and Knol [37] refer to this as a "peaceful co-existence" and give the example of the Dutch MSP approach that was revised (IDON 2011) so as to encompass multiple uses in the same marine area (water column).…”

Whilst the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 promotes the conservation and sustainable use of the seas, oceans and marine resources for sustainable development, decisions in ecosystem-based Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) follow annoying and costly trade-offs and this may negatively impact its acceptance. To address conflicts and cumulative impacts and favor, as much as possible, interfering of marine activities, positive coordination and win-win options, it is necessary to develop integrated and cohesive planning approaches and new management tools. In this article, a conceptual framework of “maritime cohesion” is being developed mostly applicable to peopled and crowded seas and a set of relevant indicators to assess it, is proposed. It is based on the triple-model of interdependent components such as “maritime spatial efficiency”, “maritime spatial quality” and “maritime spatial identity”, taking into account the “territorial cohesion” equivalent, promoted by the Cohesion Policy. Then, in order to broadly analyze the “spatial efficiency” component, the “multi-use” concept and management tools, recently given particular emphasis by EU Blue Growth Strategy, are examined thoroughly, using the relevant literature. This article highlights constructive use of “maritime cohesion” with the multi-use MSP paradigm as key part of “maritime cohesion” narrative and posits that its huge and extensive potential can stimulate dynamic, collaborative, cohesive and assemblage thinking in the MSP process and be the “spearhead” to balance economic, social, environmental and cultural aspirations in maritime planning to achieve sustainability in the marine realm.

“…The answer to the rivalry over sea space often relies on the existing practice of inclusive sharing of marine space between several activities [4][5][6][7][8]10,11,34,35]. As already mentioned, the Horizon 2020 Multi-Use in European Seas (H2020 MUSES) Project [4], having clearly identified all possible groupings of marine uses from a co-location standpoint, defines multi-use of marine space (MUS) as a "joint intentional use of resources in close geographic proximity .…”

Small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean represent a significant part of the fisheries industry and their substantial social, economic and place attachment related role has always been acknowledged in the region. Despite the fact that this usually family-based endeavor has a vast economic impact on coastal and island communities of the sea-basin, data and insights on the Mediterranean artisanal fisheries continue to be inadequately developed and poorly integrated in the local development strategies. Thus, the aim of this research is two-fold. Firstly, it presents some data and facts on the fisheries sector in the region and secondly it explores the options of their survival, prosperity and sustainability, approaching the combination of fisheries and tourism as a small-scale and soft “multi-use” in the marine space. Greece, with a huge potential in both the fisheries and the tourism sector, was used as focus area where a co-development process was designed aiming to identify advantages/potentials and challenges/disadvantages of the co-existence of artisanal fisheries and tourism, as perceived by a series of stakeholders including the co-management schemes (Fisheries Local Action Groups, FLAGs) in the country. Key conclusion is that sustainable livelihood from small-scale fisheries depends on the correlation between fisheries and other marine activities. Despite some limitations, this can boost sustainable local development and be a unique pattern of a “win-win” and soft multi-use marine spatial planning (MSP), with economic, environmental, social, cultural and governance related benefits for the coastal communities.
