Marine Planners

Marine Planners of all the world, unite! We are a group of young (or still young) researchers and practitioners passionate about oceans, seas, coasts and everything with a marine suffix. Many of our members are former students of Erasmus Mundus Master Course on Maritime Spatial Planning (EMMCMSP) and our backgrounds are of the most distinct topics: from architecture to biology, economy, social sciences, planning, communications, law, engineering, geology and many more. We work on and are passionate about: Ocean Literacy, Marine Biology, Marine Spatial Planning, Integrated Coastal Zone Management, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Maritime Cultural Heritage, Ocean Governance, Stakeholder Engagement, Community Relief and Engagement, Coastal Resilience, Land Sea Interactions, Climate Change Adaptation and many more topics. We are a real heterogeneous group from different backgrounds, cultures and countries. We firmly believe in the need of gender, geographical and age balance in national and international institutions! Many of our members have an extensive experience in MSP projects and MSP implementation around the world. This platform is made to connect all of us and to showcase our potentialities, skills and performances. The scope is to create a strong and long-lasting network of young experts, together also with partner institutions from all around the world. In the future we hope to work as a group or singularly on consultancies, participate to projects as experts, organize events and workshops, and generally raise awareness on the ocean. The next generation is here!
