In order to develop the marine spatial plan, the use of the marine area by a range of sectors and potential interactions between the various sectors needed to be examined and assessed. The identification of strategic issues are underpinned by guiding principles and shaped by the SEA process. It is important to do this so a full range potential interactions between sectors (‘ marine renewables & inshore fisheries’) are identified and addresses in order for sustainable growth to be achieved.
An interactions matrix - major / intermediate / minor
