NOAA Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning

Regional Activities

This inventory of spatial planning efforts was compiled with assistance from state coastal management programs. It is intended to provide a non-exhaustive review and reference of marine spatial planning activities to date at the regional and state levels. It is the intent of the National Ocean Policy's CMSP Framework for Regional Planning Bodies to build upon planning efforts such as these as they begin to implement CMSP in each of these nine regions.
