MSP spatial plan

The dataset on Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the EU was created in 2024 by Shom for the project ReMAP. It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources. It is released as soon a new plan is adopted or updated by an EU member state and it is available for viewing and download on Tools4MSP web portal. The dataset contains polygons, points and lines representing Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) of France. The MSP dataset is made up of 3 types of spatial features: MSP Spatial Plan, MSP Zoning Element and MSP Supplementary Regulation. Also there is a non spatial feature called MSP Official Documentation. The distance to coast (EEA coastline shapefile) has been calculated using the UTM WGS84 Zone projected coordinate system where data fall in.
