Marine spatial planning is increasingly used to manage the demands on marine areas, both spatially and temporally, where several different users may compete for resources or space, to ensure that development is as sustainable as possible. Diminishing sea-ice coverage in the Arctic will allow for potential increases in economic exploitation, and failure to plan for cross-sectoral management could have negative economic and environmental results. During the ACCESS programme, a marine spatial planning tool was developed for the Arctic, enabling the integrated study of human activities related to hydrocarbon exploitation, shipping and fisheries, and the possible environmental impacts, within the context of the next 30 years of climate change. In addition to areas under national jurisdiction, the Arctic Ocean contains a large area of high seas. Resources and ecosystems extend across political boundaries. We use three examples to highlight the need for transboundary planning and governance to be developed at a regional level.
海洋空间规划越来越多地被用于管理海洋区域在空间和时间上的需求，在这些区域中，可能有几个不同的用户竞争资源或空间，以确保发展尽可能具有可持续性。北极海冰覆盖范围的减少将允许对经济开发进行潜在的增加，如果没有对跨部门管理进行规划，可能会产生负面的经济和环境后果。在 ACCESS 计划期间，为北极地区开发了一种海洋空间规划工具，使人们能够在未来 30 年气候变化的背景下，综合研究与碳氢化合物开采、航运和渔业有关的人类活动，以及可能的环境影响。除了国家管辖区域外，北冰洋还包含了一大片公海。资源和生态系统跨越了政治边界。我们使用三个例子来说明需要在区域层面上制定跨境规划和治理措施。
