Addressing uncertainty in modelling cumulative impacts within maritime spatial planning in the Adriatic and Ionian region
Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is envisaged as a tool to apply an ecosystem-based approach to the marine and coastal realms, aiming at ensuring that the collective pressure of human activities is kept within acceptable limits. Cumulative impacts (CI) assessment can support science-based MSP, in order to understand the existing and potential impacts of human uses on the marine environment. A CI...
متن کاملEmploying Predictive Spatial Models to Inform Conservation Planning for Seabirds in the Labrador Sea
Seabirds are vulnerable to incidental harm from human activities in the ocean, and knowledge of their seasonal distribution is required to assess risk and effectively inform marine conservation planning. Significant hydrocarbon discoveries and exploration licenses in the Labrador Sea underscore the need for quantitative information on seabird seasonal distribution and abundance, as this region ...
متن کاملOn the Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) to Enhance Safety and Security at Sea
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is the process of public developing a plan for allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas. The constant increase in marine traffic and the simultaneous growth of the demand for installing offshore wind power plants require an adequate planning strategy and effective monitoring and surveillance solutions for managing the t...
متن کاملAssessing larval connectivity for marine spatial planning in the Adriatic.
There are plans to start building offshore marine renewable energy devices throughout the Mediterranean and the Adriatic has been identified as a key location for wind farm developments. The development of offshore wind farms in the area would provide hard substrata for the settlement of sessile benthos. Since the seafloor of the Adriatic is predominantly sedimentary this may alter the larval c...
متن کاملOpen source tools to support Integrated Coastal Management and Maritime Spatial Planning
This paper describes an open source suite of libraries and tools to support research activities on marine and coastal environment. The suite was initially implemented for the ADRIPLAN portal, an integrated web platform aimed at supporting Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) activities and other activities concerning the managing of marine environment for the Adriatic-Ionian region. The main element...
