  1. Prospects for Marine Spatial Planning: A Social Science Response Nigel Watson Lancaster Environment Centre E-mail: n.watson1@lancaster.ac.uk ESRC/NERC Trans-disciplinary Seminar Series: New Approaches to Managing Ecosystem Services in the Marine Environment

  2. The nature of marine systems • Complex, heterogeneous, dynamic and unbounded, subject to non-linear development and abrupt/ unpredictable changes. • Generation of ‘wicked’ and ‘messy’ socio-ecological problems.

  3. The meaning of ‘integration’ • All-inclusive: data on every aspect collected and analyzed, leading to comprehensive plans • Strategically selective: focus on key system elements and critical interactions

  4. Coping with Uncertainty GOALS (ENDS) Agreed Not Agreed PROGRAMMING • BARGAINING TECHNOLOGY (MEANS) Unknown Known CHAOS EXPERIMENTATION

  5. Implementation Adapted from Berman (1980)

  6. Legitimacy of MSP • Will legislation alone be enough?

  7. Principles • Planning culture and arrangements designed for ‘messy’ and ‘turbulent’ conditions • Collaborative responses and solutions • Strategies to cope with different uncertainty scenarios • Explicit attention to implementation conditions • Legitimation of MSP via multiple means
