Industry representatives at the Sustainable Ocean Summit (SOS) in June 2010 identified marine spatial planning as a priority for the World Ocean Council's efforts to catalyze private sector leadership in ocean stewardship.

The World Ocean Council (WOC) will develop materials and workshops to assist the diverse ocean business community to become familiar with, and engaged in, marine spatial planning (MSP). These efforts will build on the WOC's international MSP seminar for industry, which was held at the SOS - an unprecedented cross-sectoral conference on ocean sustainability that attracted more than 150 business leaders from a wide range of industries.
