Wikipedia, accessed June 27, 2012: (Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a tool that brings together multiple users of the ocean -- including energy, industry, government, conservation and recreation -- to make informed and coordinated decisions about how to use marine resources sustainably. MSP uses maps to create a more comprehensive picture of a marine area -- identifying where and how an ocean area is being used and what natural resources and habitat exist)
