Maritime Spatial Planning

The ‘Maritime Planning’ product contains 2D areas vector objects representing the maritime spatial plan extent (‘MSP_Spatial_Plan’ layer) and the corresponding vocation zones areas (‘MSP_Zoning_Element’ layer), defined in in each maritime spatial planning document.

The ‘MSP_Official_Documentation’ table (non-spatial layer), containing links to the legal acts, is also included in the product.

This product is organised according to the EMODnet data model for MSP, which is recommended at European level for maritime spatial planning data, in order to provide a harmonised overview of MSP at European level on the EMODnet Human Activities portal.

Use limitation

This product is strictly geomatic and does not replace the geographical scope of the MSP strategy as legally defined through the DSF (French MSP plans). It is also not designed to provide all the information and details contained in the plans. The law does not strictly limit the scope of application of the MSP strategy, which must be adapted according to the hydrological, oceanographic, biogeographic, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the maritime space concerned (from coast to see).

Statement

The source data used to develop this product comes from:

- The strategic sections of the second cycle (2025-2031) Strategic Façade Documents (MSP plans per façade) of the four façades of French mainland, in force on the date of publication of this product.

- The strategic sections of the first cycle (2024-2030) Strategic Sea Basin Document (MSP plans for outermost regions) of French Guiana, in force on the date of publication of this product.

The Interregional Sea Directorates (DIRM) are the reference services and producers of the data for this product.

Shom was mandated by DGAMPA (Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs, Fisheries and Aquaculture) to provide a geomatic support to the DIRM for the production of dataset in vector format and according to the EMODnet data model for MSP.
