Marine Spatial Planning Through Management Linkage Approach.
PhD thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Coastal areas have always been a ‘hub’ of resources and a target for
infrastructure development, yet, considered vulnerable in many parts of the
world. And these are often face dilemmas associated with urbanization,
adverse climatic, and environmental change for living organisms, along
with the absence of the implementation of an integrated approach in
managing these issues. Therefore, new management approaches had been
tried such as Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Marine
Spatial Planning (MSP) to managing coasts in a sustainable and most
effective manner while accommodating its dynamism. However, some
challenges appeared related to the management approaches' such as the
interference between ICZM (up to 3-12 nm) and MSP (up to 200 nm) from
the coastline, not adhering to approved plans (Penang’s ICZM as a case
study), the random approach of choosing the management authorities in
case of MSP. Thus, the main aim of this thesis is to develop innovative
approaches capable of enhancing the conceptualization of MSP and it’s
implementation by addressing the following objectives; 1- to assess the
current state-of-the-art (from around the globe; particularly the European
experience) forms of MSP governance and the organizations in charge of
implementation, 2- to determine the organization most suited as an MSP
authority, 3-To propose a methodology to link/integrate MSP and ICZM,
and 4- to evaluate the efforts associated with ICZM in the state of Penang.
