Abstract
This guide describes the data model proposed by the EMODnet Human Activities team for presenting an EU-wide dataset on Marine Spatial Planning. The data set represents the marine spatial plans adopted by the Member States following the Directive 2014/89/EU. Building on previous initiatives and research projects across Europe (HELCOM-VASAB, MSP INSPIRE Data Model and SIM projects) as well as on the findings from the Commission Technical Expert Group on MSP Data, an INSPIRE compliant data model has been designed. The model aims to ensure harmonization and usability by all potential marine data users: policy-makers, scientists, private companies and the public. Therefore, the specific attributes of the MSPs across EU countries were also taken into account for their representation on the EMODnet geoportal.

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
