It also draws from experience on MSP to highlight what isconsidered best practice.8.2.1 <strong>Planning</strong> processBased on a range <strong>of</strong> guidelines that have been published recently on best practice for MSP (Box 1 below),it is possible to determine a range <strong>of</strong> linked steps involved in developing a maritime spatial managementplan:1. Defining goals and objectives <strong>of</strong> MSP and establishing legal authority;2. Pre-planning;3. Obtaining financial support;4. Information and data collection;:5. Defining and analysing conditions & generating alternative spatial options;Deliverable 2.343 | P a g e
