TY - JOUR N2 - The article isdevoted tothe issues ofprinciples thatare important for the development of marine spatial planning (MSP) and integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). Marine spatial planningcan be understoodas a practicalway to implement the principles of rational use of maritime areasin accordance with sustainable development based on stakeholders cooperation. The integrated coastal zone management functionis integration of maritime sectors inorder to remedy conflicts arising in the ocean space and also institutional conflicts. The precautionary principle and the ecosystem approach determine the current framework for spatial planning in marine areas and regulate various human activities in the marine environment, taking into account the protection of marine and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity. In order to achieve sustainable growth of maritime and coastal activities and the use of marine and coastal resources the European Union developed in 2013 a draft directive establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management, as a specific remedy to the very slow implementation of the principles and instruments of maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management by the Member States.
