"Maritime Spatial Planning: Past, Present, and Future is a valuable resource and insightful read for interdisciplinary marine scientists, practitioners, managers, and policymakers alike. ... this book provides a potent, yet accessible read on a complicated and diverse topic of MSP that, as the authors argue, is developed in the past, relevant to the present, and critical to the future of blue growth and blue space protection."
