Discussion

Marine spatial planning differs from shoreline management planning principally in that it

  • A.replaces the need for any environmental assessment
  • B.allocates uses across the sea area rather than the shoreline
  • C.concerns only the design of coastal defence structures
  • D.applies exclusively to the land lying behind the coastal defence

Answer: B

Correct answer: allocates uses across the sea area rather than the shoreline

Marine spatial planning works seaward, allocating space among fishing, shipping, aggregate extraction, wind farms, cables and conservation across the sea area. Shoreline management planning works along the shore, assigning a defence policy to each frontage. The two must be consistent with each other, but neither replaces the other, and neither removes the need for environmental assessment of individual proposals.
