dc.description.abstract	Marine spatial planning (MSP) is rapidly becoming the dominant approach to managing human interactions with marine environments. As this happens we are making more attempts to understand how it operates and how it might be improved. This study focuses on the governance of complex marine environments through MSP in Scotland. It focuses specifically on transparency and participation in MSP, and the role of stakeholders and the public. It seems that the system in Scotland has some room for improvement in terms of transparency and participation. Evidence from land use planning there shows that resistance to MSP might emerge if these improvements are made. One suggestion is made on how this could be avoided.	en_US

dc.description.popularabstract	Marine spatial planning (MSP) has its roots in town planning. It is fundamentally about organising our activities in the sea to minimise conflicts between these and also to minimise their impact on vulnerable ecosystems. However, the actions of a lot of people have to be organised for this to be achieved. This involves creating institutions and groups that will help to make MSP work. It seems that some groups are not entirely satisfied that marine planning is fair. In order for MSP to work it needs to be representative and produce outcomes that are widely desirable.	en_US
