Marine spatial planning in the tropical Atlantic
From a Tower of Babel to collective intelligence
The goal of marine spatial planning is to manage uses of marine space to reduce tensions between human activities and the health of marine ecosystems. This is a major and complex challenge, as oceans lie at the intersection of multiple and increasing interests: biodiversity conservation, climate change regulation, economic development, food security.

Chapter 16. Questions around interdisciplinarityThe goal of marine spatial planning is to manage uses of marine space to reduce tensions between human activities and the health of marine ecosystems. This is a major and complex challenge, as oceans lie at the intersection of multiple and increasing interests: biodiversity conservation, climate change regulation, economic development, food security.
This handbook takes an interdisciplinary, sustainability science approach to explore the potential and limitations of marine spatial planning, a tool developed in the Global North, and its current or possible future applications in the tropical South Atlantic – specifically in Brazil, Senegal and Cabo Verde.
To protect our global ocean commons, communities of stakeholders need to transcend disciplinary boundaries and bring together diverse knowledge to move towards a shared goal of sustainability (part 1). The development of this collective intelligence in tropical marine ecosystem research must take into account local, national and international issues (part 2) and can be supported by innovative interdisciplinary tools (part 3).
This handbook is aimed at decision-makers, researchers and, more generally, all users of marine areas, highlighting crucial points to consider when implementing marine spatial planning.
Marie Bonnin is an expert in environmental law. She is a research director at the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) and a member of the joint Laboratory of Marine Environmental Sciences (LEMAR). Her focus is the legal protection of the marine environment. In her position at the European Institute for Marine Studies (IUEM), she interacts extensively with researchers in natural and physical sciences. With her background in translating marine ecology research into law, today she is interested in the applicability and effectiveness of environmental protection legislation. She has worked specifically on marine environmental law in West Africa, in collaboration with universities and research institutes in Senegal, Mauritania and Cabo Verde, and more recently has extended her area of specialisation to the broader tropical Atlantic.
Sophie Lanco Bertrand is a marine ecologist. She is a research director at the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) and a member of the joint research unit on Marine Biodiversity, Exploitation and Conservation (MARBEC). Her focus is the analysis of how birds, fish, mammals and fishermen use the marine space by employing biologging technology and movement ecology models, for example. One of the aims is to assess whether regulations and tools to manage human activities at sea, such as marine spatial planning, can allow marine organisms and humans to coexist in such a way that ensures the sustainability of marine socio-ecosystems. She worked in Peru for some 15 years studying the Humboldt Current ecosystem and is currently developing her research in the tropical Atlantic.
