The Marine Spatial Planning Research Group (MarSPlan) focuses on advancing sustainable and integrated approaches to managing marine and coastal resources. Recognizing the complexities of balancing ecological conservation with socio-economic development, MarSPlan dedicates itself to innovative research, employing tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and oceanographic modeling. This multidisciplinary group integrates ecological, oceanographic, and socio-economic data to support decision-making processes that address critical issues, such as climate change impacts, habitat conservation, and sustainable fisheries management
