IOC: Building knowledge and capacity
for sustainable ocean management
• Only intergovernmental
organization mandated to promote
marine science in all ocean basins
• Science, services, observations,
data exchange and capacity
development
• Foster sustainable development of
the marine environment
IOC within United Nations
• Focal point for ocean
observations, science,
services and data
exchange
• Competent international
organization for marine
science (United Nations
Convention on the Law
of the Sea; UNCLOS)

IOC figures
 IOC was founded in 1960
 IOC has 148 Member States (2016)
 Our governing bodies are the General Assembly and the
Executive Council
 IOC staff is made by 62 people (42 at the headquarters
and 20 in the field)

Marine Spatial Planning, the challenge!
What is MSP?
“The public process of
analyzing and allocating
the spatial and temporal
distribution of human
activities to achieve
ecological, economic, and
social objectives that are
usually specified through
a political process.”

MSP characteristics
•
Integrated and multi-objective, including all important economic
sectors; economic and social objectives as well as ecological ones
•
Strategic and future-oriented, considering alternative means to
achieve a vision
•
Continuing and adaptive, with an emphasis on performance
monitoring and evaluation--and learning by doing
•
Participatory, building a broad base of stakeholders to ensure longterm support for management
•
Ecosystem-based, with a focus on maintaining ecosystem services
over time
•
Place-based, with a focus on marine spaces that people can
understand, relate to, and care for

Over the past 10 years
• MSP is now underway in about 40 countries
around world
•
Approved plans in 9 countries now cover
about 9% of world’s Exclusive Economic
Zones
17
State of MSP in the World
Over the next 10 years…
•
MSP plans could be approved and
implemented by over 50 countries around
world
•
Approved plans in those 50 countries would
cover about 50% of world’s exclusive
economic zones

Effective MSP must address spatial and
temporal heterogeneity

MSP – Integration for multisectorial
consensus
MSP step by step
MSP – Continuous adaptive process
Fundamental questions
1.Where Are We Today?
✓ Baseline characterization
2.Where Do We Want to Be?
✓ Objectives/outcomes
✓ Alternative scenarios
3.How Do We Get There?
✓ Management actions/plan
4.What Have We Accomplished?
✓ Monitoring and evaluation

GEF Project LME:Learn
• Partners:
• Objective:
– To improve global ecosystem-based governance (including
ICZM and MSP) of Large Marine Ecosystems and their
coasts by generating knowledge, building capacity,
harnessing public and private partners, and supporting
south-to-south and north-to-south learning.
29
Primary objectives
• Global and regional network of partners to
enhance ecosystem-based
management and to provide support for
the GEF LME/ICZM/MSP/MPA projects to
address their needs and incorporate
climate variability and change.
• Synthesis and incorporation of
knowledge into policy-making, capture
of best LME governance practices, and
development of new methods and tools
to enhance the effective management of
LMEs and to incorporate ICM, MPAs and
climate variability and change.
