Many websites feature marine spatial planning and/or ecosystem-based management tools and information. The list below contains some of the resources available around the world for governmental resources, marine sectors, MSP training and science and technology; some of these sites are available in multiple languages. The list is not intended to be all-inclusive and we will update these resources as new ones become available.
