Ecosystem-based Marine Spatial Planning for a Sustainable Blue Economy

The MARISMA Project

Learn More

The introduction of ecosystem-based Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) is supported by the Benguela Current Marine Spatial Management and Governance Project (MARISMA, 2014-2023). The project is a development partnership between the Benguela Current Convention (BCC), its Contracting Parties, and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany in pursuit of the sustainable development of the Benguela Current region.

“The process of MSP is new and just a few years ago was completely unknown in the region. Today, thanks to the ongoing support of the MARISMA project, the contracting parties of the Benguela Current Convention, Angola, Namibia and South Africa, are globally acclaimed for their progress in using MSP to enhance their Blue Economy. We are proud to have come so far and look forward to continuing this successful partnership.” Thandiwe GXABA, Acting Executive Secretary of the Benguela Current Convention
