Will Marine Spatial Planning Save the Oceans?

Sustainability Solutions Café with Áslaug Ásgeirsdóttir from the Department of Politics at Bates College.

Wednesday, May 17, 2017
5:00pm – 6:00pm
Fairchild 101
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

The oceans are getting crowded as energy production, aquaculture, and related industries move offshore, increasing competition with traditional uses like shipping and fishing. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) can help us use ocean space efficiently, but, as Ásgeirsdóttir explains, it can only be sustainable if we recognize its limits.
