EMODnet Human Activities, Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)

The dataset on Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the EU was created in 2021 by CETMAR for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources. It is released as soon a new plan is adopted or updated by an EU member state and it is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains polygons, points and lines representing Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden. The MSP dataset is made up of 3 types of spatial features: MSP Spatial Plan, MSP Zoning Element and MSP Supplementary Regulation. Also there is a non spatial feature called MSP Official Documentation. The distance to coast (EEA coastline shapefile) has been calculated using the UTM WGS84 Zone projected coordinate system where data fall in.

Statement

Data were retrieved from different countries, i.e. Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden. Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, while harmonization is carried out by CETMAR. This harmonization process consists of adapting all the MSP plans developed by the EU member states in a common data model, which was created from the INSPIRE conceptual model of Planned Land Use as described in https://cinea.ec.europa.eu/publications/proposal-making-harmonized-msp-plan-data-available-across-europe-0_en. For further information on validation and quality assurance, it is suggested that primary data sources are contacted. Generally speaking data are to be considered very reliable, because they come from national sources officially in charge for their collection.
