The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region faces serious threats from climate change and human activities, impacting its rich marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of millions. To address these challenges, stakeholders are using Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to promote sustainable ocean resource use and support a blue economy. MSP helps coordinate human activities in marine and coastal areas. The Nairobi Convention leads the implementation of MSP, crafting a strategy that focuses on inclusive and sustainable management of ocean resources for human well-being.
