“…The implementation of marine spatial planning involves certain stages towards strategic plans of marine spaces. Moreover, the iterative process of marine spatial planning introduced by (Calado et al, 2012) includes:-i) Data collection; ii) Stakeholder consultation; iii) Participatory development of a plan; and iv) Subsequent stages of implementation, enforcement, evaluation and revision.…”

“…Hence, the marine planning will assist in promoting the appreciation, understanding and a sense of ownership of the diversity of the marine environment (Carter, 2014;Carcamo et al, 2014;Carneiro, 2013;Calado et al, 2012 andCapistrano, 2007). The social pillar will improve the quality of life for coastal communities through stronger connection between coastal economies and environment development.…”

ABSTRACT:Within few years before, the urge to implement the marine spatial planning is due to increasing numbers of marine activities that will lead into uncertainties of rights, restrictions and responsibilities of the maritime nations. Marine authorities in this situation that deal with national rights and legislations are the government institutions that engage with marine spatial information. There are several elements to be considered when dealing with the marine spatial planning; which is institutional sustainability governance. Providing the importance of marine spatial planning towards sustainable marine spatial governance, the focus should highlight the role marine institutions towards sustainable marine plan. The iterative process of marine spatial planning among marine institutions is important as the spatial information governance is scattered from reflected rights, restrictions and responsibilities of marine government institutions. Malaysia is one of the maritime nations that conjures the initial step towards establishing the sustainable marine spatial planning. In order to have sustainable institutions in marine spatial planning process, it involves four main stages; planning phase, plan evaluation phase, implementation phase and post implementation phase. Current situation has witnessed the unclear direction and role of marine government institutions to manage the marine spatial information. This review paper is focusing on the institutional sustainability upon interaction of marine government institutions in the marine spatial planning process based on Institutional Analysis Framework. The outcome of the integration of institutional sustainability and marine spatial planning process will propose a framework of marine institutional sustainable plan.

“…If stakeholders do not believe there is a problem or see how planning may improve the situation, they will be less likely to participate (Calado et al, 2012). More specifically, research suggests that, in order for MSP to achieve acceptance and success, stakeholders must be included in every stage of the process (Pomeroy and Douvere, 2008).…”

During the last decades, increasing demands on marine resources and unsustainable activities taking place in the marine area compromise the future use of the marine environment. In July 2014, the European Parliament and Council established a Guideline Framework for marine/maritime spatial planning (MSP). MSP is a useful and cost-effective tool for sustainable development, together with regulation and protection of the marine environment. Within this context, Romania has started to proceed and incorporate it in the national legislation framework; in 2017, it has also established a competent authority for its implementation so that marine spatial plans can be enacted by 31 March 2021. In this study, a first approach for MSP framework in Romania was developed, enabling the mapping of all current human activities related to shipping, oil and gas exploitation, fisheries, tourism and environmental status, in order to identify overlaps or potential conflicts among users. This paper identifies key challenges and concerns anticipated to emerge from incorporation of MSP in the national spatial planning framework as it is currently organized: a) Romanian stakeholders have a relatively poor understanding of European, national and regional sea planning regulations, b) concerns related to MSP implementation at regulatory level, c) huge need for sharing of MSP-relevant information for a coherent planning, d) challenges of assessing the needs of interconnected ecosystems (including relevant EU and international legislation). In this context, our study covers highly actual aspects concerning the way the marine spatial planning process evolves and will contribute to deliver a coherent approach to reduce conflicts of the Romanian marine environment, a proper MSP implementation, as well as minimizing the pressures and impacts on the marine resources.Keywords: marine resources and sectors; spatial plans; public participation; regulations; Black Sea Highlights:Review of Romania's legal regime on MSP.MSP implementation issues are discussed.It has not shown a tendency to engage public in marine spatial plans design.43% of invited stakeholders did not hear about MSP directive. 2Lack of coherence with legal instruments could be challenging for future of MSP.
