“…For example, one study is related to the co-management and institutional resilience to assess the adaptations of social-political changes in a MPA (Partelow et al, 2018). Our findings underline that zoning in Brazil is still in its early stages, especially in the blue economyrelated marine zoning (Gerhardinger et al, 2019).…”

“…In Brazil, the Blue Amazon represents the country's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and has an area of 5.7 million km 2 , or approximately half of Brazil's terrestrial area 3 , which makes it one of the largest on the planet (Gerhardinger et al, 2018). The implementation of zoning strategies in the Brazilian EEZ is still at an early stage (Gerhardinger et al, 2019), despite existing projects that aim at the management of coastal areas, such as the Orla Project (Casemiro et al, 2018). Brazilian protected areas, inserted in the National System of Conservation Units (Brazil, 2000), are part of an important conservation strategy toward the conservation of myriad coastal and marine ecosystems, including mangroves (Pinheiro et al, 2015).…”

“…Despite the importance of ecosystems such as the northern mangroves, policy measures for MSP in Brazil are at an early stage (Gerhardinger et al, 2019), and the development of knowledge creation in this front remains poorly understood. In the implementation arena, the incipiency of spatial management in Brazilian MPAs is revealed by the fact that only 19% of these areas have management plans 4 , which usually include the MPA's zoning.…”

Systematic Review of Spatial Planning and Marine Protected Areas: A Brazilian Perspective

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are essential to human well-being and usually part of spatial planning processes for managing coastal and marine areas. In Brazil, national-level spatial planning processes are still incipient. This article offers a systematic review through a comparative meta-analysis of the literature on MPAs and spatial planning based on the following questions: (I) What topics are investigated in spatial planning in MPAs worldwide? and (II) What are the advances and trends of these topics in Brazilian MPAs? Specific goals of this study are (I) to identify studies on Brazil; and (II) to compare and contrast these with studies performed elsewhere. The PRISMA report was used to select literature, with a focus on three spatial contexts (I) outside Brazil, analyzing studies from other countries; (II) in Brazil; and (III) a case study in Brazil that focuses on a sustainable-use area in northeastern Pará. Studies outside Brazil showed three major groups of themes: (I) planning and tools; (II) stakeholders; and (III) the ecology of non-human species. For the Brazilian context, studies were grouped into five major themes: (I) small-scale fishing practices and conflicts; (II) participation in protected areas; (III) technical aspects of the planning process, (IV) zoning; and (V) mapping. The local case study investigates socio-cultural sustainability and tourism. All identified studies relate to use, but have a greater focus on conservation and, especially abroad, on species and ecosystems. There are few reviews or comparative studies that could help to draw parallels between the different spatial planning settings. We conclude that synthesis work on spatial management strategies worldwide is needed, including the elaboration of frameworks to develop measures to address the widespread lack of data and spatial planning expertise. Collaborative networks of researchers and practitioners are needed for this. The novelty in our study is that it examines MPAs and spatial planning research at three spatial contexts with innovative methodologies to represent the current state of the spatial planning discourse in coastal and marine conservation.

“…No Brasil, as primeiras discussões relacionadas à elaboração de um PEM, surgiram em 2011 Gerhardinger et al, 2019). Gerhardinger et al (2019) identificaram 4 etapas de evolução na arena sociopolítica em torno do estabelecimento do PEM e apresentam uma série de oportunidades para sua implementação, bem como desafios encontrados para o aprimoramento das capacidades da governança oceânica brasileira (figura 4). Estes mesmos autores concluem que, até o presente momento, o Brasil ainda se encontra na fase inicial de articulação e estruturação de uma política para o PEM e recomendam 5 medidas para ampliar a governabilidade do oceano no país por meio da aplicação deste instrumento.…”

Coastal and marine spaces all around the world are committed to a current global sustainability agendas, in the seas and coasts, as well as their public policies and territorial governance agendas have received a special role in international discussions on the directions of development and conservation. In this context, the establishment of the Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030 (Agenda 2030) by the United Nations (UN) stands out which incorporated Objective 14, seeking to establish a science-political-society interface and strengthening the management of oceans and coastal zones for the benefit of humankind. In this scenario, in line with the global agendas and in order to identify and fill gaps in the interface between produced science and public policies for Brazilian marine-coastal environments, the initiative “Programa Horizonte Oceânico Brasileiro (HOB)” was created. The theme “Marine Space Planning (MSP)” is extremely relevant in the scope of the HOB, given its proposal for innovation through an ecosystem approach. Furthermore, MSP has been adopted as a mechanism for environmental policies in the international intergovernmental sector in countries with different levels of development, as a public policy and operational platform in planning and management of uses in the marine-coastal space. In this context, the activities of the Marine Space Planning Team (Team PEM) were established, which has been producing knowledge to strengthen the MSP in the path of collective inter-network learning and disseminating information that can assist future research, management and ordering actions in Brazilian seas and coasts, such as the publication of the.“I Volume Horizonte Oceânico Brasileiro” (Chapter 5 - Planejamento Espacial Marinho: Desafios e Oportunidades para Inserção Inter-Redes no Pré Planejamento Espacial Marinho Brasileiro) and the “Síntese para Tomadores de Decisão – I VOLUME HOB” (Planejamento Espacial Marinho: Desafios e Caminhos para sua Implementação) and the webinar of Marine Spatial Planning. This article aims to present the production of general knowledge about MSP by this group and its potential interaction with different systems (social, economic and political), looking to contribute and improving the information base of Brazilian coastal governance and also to subsidize possible initiatives related to the theme.
