Towards South Africa's first Marine Spatial Plan 

The project consists of two phases. Phase 1 collected data on and modelled the biophysical and governance systems in Algoa Bay.

Phase 2 aims to address the socio-economic system and tie all three systems together in an overall model that can inform marine spatial planning decisions in the Bay.
