EU Directive 2014/89/EU establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning was adopted in July 2014. The Directive obliges all coastal Member States to establish maritime spatial plans by 2021. Member States must transpose the Directive into national law by 18th September 2016.
The Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government has drafted regulations intended to transpose the Directive into Irish law. Submissions are invited on the draft regulations.
To assist you we have prepared a guidance document showing the relationship between the articles of the Directive and the regulations.
The participation of stakeholders and the public will be integral to the development of MSP in Ireland. This consultation on the transposing regulations is the first of a number of opportunities for participation that will arise during the MSP life cycle. Details on further participation opportunities during the more substantive steps of the MSP process will be made available on this website as they arise.
The consultation closed on Friday 6 May 2016. A copy of the finalised Regulations and an overview of the consultation are available from the documents drop down menu above.
