The European Commission DG for MAritime Affairs has launched a public consultation on Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) to gather insights from stakeholders across the EU. As MSP becomes increasingly vital in environmental governance, this survey aims to understand the varied approaches Member States use for stakeholder consultation, especially amid updates and revisions to MSPs.

This consultation is crucial for the recreational boating sector. The expanding uses of the sea such as offshore wind energy are likely to impact our activities. Your participation can help ensure that the interests of the recreational boating industry are considered.

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and includes a mix of open and closed questions. It is available until 5 July 2024. Your feedback is essential in shaping the future of MSP and enhancing public participation in these processes.
