Основные подходы к формированию инструментария и методические особенности морского пространственного планирования

Abstract

Marine spatial planning has been widely applied in the leading maritime countries. However, it is not so common in Russia, where the corresponding legislative framework is absent. Spatial planning has common features with marine planning, especially when it comes to the tools, principles, and methods. The difference lies in the characteristics of the planning object, the principles of delineating the borders of territories and water areas and the authorities of governing bodies. Marine space, its parts, and sea (water) use types and regulation are covered by a number of laws of the Russian Federation. However, an integral mechanism of marine planning has not been developed at the legislative level. The Strategy for the Development of Maritime Activities until 2030 sets the task of developing the tools of marine spatial planning. This article considers certain lines of development of marine planning tools: the assessment of applicability of the existing legal framework in the field of water relations; development of territory and strategic planning; and possible distribution of authority of different governing bodies in this new field of administrative activity.
