This tendency undoubtedly attests

2 THEESSENCEOFMARINESPATIAL
PLANNINGINSUSTAINABLEMARINE
GOVERNANCE
Marine spatial planning is an essential part of
sustainablemarine governance.Fromthe legalpoint
of view, sustainable marine governance should take
placeontwolevelsinparallel:legal
andinstitutional.
Thelegallevel(duetosecuringthevalueofmanaging
the sea space from the normative aspect in the
substantive and formal law dimension) is
characterized by the same significance as the
institutional level (i.e. the executive, which includes
all governmental and nongovernmental
organizationsandinternationalinstitutionsthat
carry
outactivitiesdirectedtoenvironmentalmanagement,
or whose activity has specific effects on the
environment) [7]. Sustainable marine governance
includes multilevel, integrated humanbased
planning, based on the most uptodate scientific
knowledge of ecosystems and their dynamics, the
origin and impact of various other previously
occurring activities
that are essential to maintaining
the health of the marine ecosystem, as well as
ensuring sustainableuse of resources (i.e. ecosystem
goodsandmaintainingecosystemintegrity)[8].
Sustainablemarinegovernanceisbasedonmarine
spatialplanning.Thisprocessischaracterizedbythe
multilevel nature of the principles perceived in the
following
dimensions: doctrinal (sustainable
development principle), institutional (principle of
institutionalintegrationand cooperation), regulatory
(principle of prevention, precautionary principle),
executive (ecosystem approach) and functional
(stakeholder participation, adaptive management).
Analysis of the content of the principles and
approaches to the MSP leads to the conclusion that
notallofthemhavea
legalnormativeorientation.In
thecase of theMSP, legal standardsofconduct and
other standards of conduct do not constitute two
clearlydelimitedgroups.Itseemstobeacomplexity
dilemma. Marine spatial planning is based on
principlesonnormativeorientationsidentifiedas:(1)
leading or directional (but not all
of them are legal
principles);(2)notansweringalldogmaticquestions;
(3) indicating directions for solutions to potential
issues; (4) acting as a pattern of arguments in the
areas of responsibility; (5) oriented towards equity.
An ecosystembased approach is one of the MSP
principlesonanormativeorientation,but
notalegal
principle. The application of an ecosystembased
approach to decisionmaking is a fundamental
frameworkforsustainabledevelopment[6,9].
The purpose of marine spatial planning is to
design sea space to achieve a balance in the use of
access to marine areas and their resources in
cooperation
withallstakeholders.
Thisprocessmayrequirerestrictionsoftheuseofsea
space(e.g.timeorarealimits),andinjustifiedcases,
to avoid conflicts between different users of the
environment and improve the management of their
activities involving the use of marine and coastal
resources,includingexclusions(e.g.
prohibitionsofa
particular proceeding). It is also important for
capacitybuildingofadministrationbodiesandother

[10].
3 DEVELOPMENTOFMARINESPATIAL
PLANNINGINPOLAND
Marine spatial planning is a process of achieving
spatial order at sea. In practice, spatial order
understood
asafunctionalorderofspaceisanalyzed
primarily in the field of planning and spatial
development on land. The term ‘marine spatial
planning’ is used in international law in functional
meaning (planning process), while MSP Directive
uses the term ‘maritime spatial planning’ mainly in
theinstrumentalsense(i.e.spatial
plan).
The concept of maritime spatial order does not
function in the Polish law. One of the directions of
Polish maritime policy is to improve maritime
management [11].Maritime spatial planning,
understood purely technically, is to act as an
“instrument serving the implementation of the
integrated maritime policy of the European
Union”.
The goal is to create an efficient maritime
management system. Among the activities aimed at
improvingmaritimemanagementisthedevelopment
of plans for the development of Polish sea areas,
takingintoaccounttheecosystemapproach.
Accordingto theMSP Directive, maritimespatial
planning means a process in which
the relevant
Member State’s authorities analyze and organize
humanactivitiesinmarineareastoachieveecological,
economic and social objectives taking into
consideration relevant interactions of activities, uses
and interests, inter alia: aquaculture areas; fishing
areas; installations and infrastructures for the
exploration,exploitationand extractionof oil,ofgas
and
other energy resources of minerals and
aggregates, and for the production of energy from
renewable sources; maritime transport routes and
traffic flows; military training areas; nature and
species conservation sites and protected areas; raw
material extraction areas; scientific research;
submarine cable and pipeline routes; tourism;
underwaterculturalheritage.
Takingintoaccount
theeffectivenessoftheworks,
it should be stated that inPoland the actual actions
aimedatimplementingtheMSPDirectiveweretaken
in 2013. The provisions of the ordinance of the
Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime
EconomyandtheMinisterofRegional Development
ontheplansforspatial
developmentofPolishmarine
areasissuedonAugust5,2013havebeeninlinewith
the provisions of the MSP Directive. The minister
competent for the maritime economy in cooperation
with the Directors of Maritime Offices in Gdynia,
Słupsk and Szczecin prepared a schedule for the
313
development of maritime spatial plans for Polish
marine areas in autumn 2013. Then a significant
“Study of the conditions for spatial development of
Polish sea areas” was created together with spatial
analyzes that define spatial, legal, economic, social
and natural conditions for the purposes of drawing
upaspatialdevelopment
planforthe Polishmarine
areas[12]. It was also at that time that intensive
legislative works were initiated to adapt Polish
legislation to the provisions of the MSP Directive.
After about two years, the provisions of MSP
Directive have been implemented into Polish
domestic law by introducing changes to the
Act on
maritime areas of the Republic of Poland and
maritimeadministrationin2015,includingbymeans
of: revision of spatial development plans for Polish
seaareas;introductionofprovisionsregardingcross
border arrangements for the draft spatial
development plan for Polish sea areas and public
arrangementsfor thedraft spatial
development plan
forPolishseaareas[6,13].Themaritimespatialplan
of the Polish marine areas is being developed by
Maritime Institute in Gdańsk and National Marine
FisheriesResearchInstituteinGdynia.

Act of March 21, 1991 on the maritime areas of the

They are: the minister competent for the maritime

Itshould benoted thatthe
Polish law definesan

is defined in the Act on Maritime Areas of the
RepublicofPolandandMaritimeAdministration,and
meansthatinthemanagementofhumanactivities,in

The Polish legislator has distinguished two main
functions types of allocations of the marine area,
namely: the basic functions and the acceptable
functions. The basic functions mean the leading
allocationsoftheareaestablishedintheplan, which
cannot be interfered by any other acceptable
functions.Theacceptable functionsof

The draft plan is prepared by a territorially
competent director of the maritime office, using the
ecosystembased approach and taking into
consideration: (1) supporting
the sustainable
development in the maritime sector, taking into
account the economic, social and environmental
aspects, including the improvement of the
environment and the resilience to climate change
impacts; (2) defence and national security; (3)
coordination of actions by relevant parties and the
methodsofusingthesea[22].

Achieving sustainability is the overriding goal of
maritimespatialplan.Themaritimespatialplansets
out priorities relating to different uses of the sea
space. According to the assumptions of the MSP
Directive,the
maritime spatial plan is aimed at
balancing the interests of stakeholders using the
marineareas andis theframework forconduct. The
development of a good plan requires detailed
settlements in various related matters and correct
diagnosis for the resources of sea space. It should
covervarious conditions, includingeconomic,social,
ecological and legal ones. These conditions must be
analyzed in a multidimensional way in horizontal
andverticalperspective.
In Poland, the maritime spatial plan is under
development. In accordance with the principle of
sustainabledevelopment,inthescopeofdetermining
detailed decisions, both the activities resulting from
the need for
economic development and activities
aimed at environmental protection, in particular
maintainingandimprovingitscondition,weretaken
into account. These detailed decisions of the Polish
maritimespatialplan(draftplan)areinlinewiththe

by:
the preparation ofseparate and specific for each
