Ocean Governance, Marine Spatial Planning and Integrated Coastal Management are all public processes of analysing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in coastal and marine areas to achieve ecological, economic and social objectives that have been specified through a political process. They all seek over the long term to balance the benefits of human uses with the protection of the natural environment.

These 3 processes create practical ways to create and establish a more rational use of coastal and ocean space and the interactions between its uses, to balance demands for development with the need to protect the environment and to achieve social and economic objectives in an open and planned way. SSL is one of the only consultancy firms who have proven track record in providing the expertise and support in this field.
