PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
The ecosystem of the Benguela Current is one of the most productive and biologically diverse marine areas in the world. South Africa, Namibia and Angola are dependent on its natural resources. The most important economic sectors include aquaculture, shipping and the extraction of oil, gas, diamonds and other minerals. The protection of biodiversity and environmentally friendly management must be more firmly anchored in regional and national policies and the actions based on them.
Objective
Marine spatial planning (MRP) organizes the management of the Benguela Current in an environmentally friendly way and contributes to marine protection.
Approach
MRP is a decision-making process that controls when and where human activities take place in the Benguela Current. Protection goals that affect biodiversity are integrated into the planning. MRP thus helps to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
To this end, the project supports measures that are implemented nationally by the governments of the three countries and regionally within the framework of the Benguela Current Convention in order to build capacities. The aim is to create learning opportunities and gain practical experience in the MRP and the description of "ecologically or biologically significant marine areas" (EBSAs).
The project has produced marine spatial plans for each coun
