The World Bank has published a report capturing lessons learnt from a technical assistance activity to incubate Maritime Spatial Planning as a tool to conserve fishery resources while supporting artisanal fisheries. The ultimate aim of this exercise is for Morocco to create marine protected areas for fisheries management (MPA-Fs) that will support the development of the country’s nascent Blue Economy and are based on the best international planning practices.
The report titled, “Pioneering Marine Spatial Planning in Morocco: An Opportunity to Articulate Conservation and Development,” provides a practical showcase for marine spatial planning, a method of governance that brings together multiple ocean resource users and equips them with the data they need.
