One of today’s most pressing challenges safeguard the loss of ecosystem biodiversity and functioning, while simultaneously allowing for their exploitation by those who depend on their services, goods and benefits. In Europe, Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is the main governance process to ideally integrate sustainability and exploitation. This requires tools and knowledge to align MSP and marine protected area (MPA) designation processes, which are lacking particularly regarding transboundary coordination and connectivity. Founded on a large amount of expertise and a solid theoretical basis, Marine Plan will co-develop with stakeholders a Decision Support System (DSS) for ecosystem-based maritime spatial planning (EB-MSP) together with best practice guidance to enhance the effectiveness of spatial conservation and restoration measures for marine biodiversity in European Seas. Tools will comprise operational criteria for ecologically or biologically significant marine areas (EBSA), enabling the allocation of conservation and restoration areas at various scales in complex sea areas with multiple uses, while including the effects of climate change. The DSS will be developed and applied at eight European planning sites, from coastal ecosystems to open ocean and the deep sea and from local to trans-boundary scales. Applying and validating the DSS will incorporate realistic planning scenarios, key action points to achieve the EU Biodiversity Strategy, and policy recommendations how to enhance EB-MSP implementation in European Seas. Marine Plan will communicate results to decision-makers at horizontal (between sectors) and vertical (from local to European) levels and enable the transfer of knowledge to areas in differing socio-ecological settings. The improved natural and social science base will ensure effective policymaking to support a greater coherence in implementing environmental policies as well as to enable streamlined planning for marine industries.

当今最紧迫的挑战之一是保护生态系统生物多样性和功能的丧失，同时又允许那些依赖其服务、商品和利益的人对其进行开发。在欧洲，海洋空间规划（MSP）是理想地整合可持续性和开发的主要治理流程。这需要工具和知识来协调 MSP 和海洋保护区 (MPA) 指定流程，而这些流程在跨界协调和连通性方面尤其缺乏。海洋计划建立在大量的专业知识和坚实的理论基础上，将与利益相关者共同开发基于生态系统的海洋空间规划（EB-MSP）的决策支持系统（DSS）以及最佳实践指导，以提高欧洲海域海洋生物多样性空间保护和恢复措施的有效性。工具将包括具有生态或生物意义的海洋区域（EBSA）的操作标准，从而能够在具有多种用途的复杂海域中分配不同规模的保护和恢复区域，同时考虑气候变化的影响。 DSS 将在八个欧洲规划地点开发和应用，从沿海生态系统到公海和深海，从本地到跨国界。应用和验证 DSS 将纳入现实的规划方案、实现欧盟生物多样性战略的关键行动点以及如何加强欧洲海域 EB-MSP 实施的政策建议。海洋计划将向水平（部门之间）和垂直（从地方到欧洲）层面的决策者传达结果，并使知识转移到不同社会生态环境的地区。改善的自然和社会科学基础将确保有效的决策，以支持环境政策实施的更大一致性，并简化海洋产业的规划。
