O Planejamento Espacial Marinho como instrumento de Política Pública para Desenvolvimento da Amazônia Azul: um estudo de caso de projetos eólicos offshore no litoral cearense

Abstract

The process of elaboration of the Marine Spatial Plan (MSP) evolved in the last decades and UNESCO maintais freely accessible elaboration suggestions. It is fundamental to understand that the MSP is a process, and therefore continuous. Concepts of broad participation in the elaboration of the planning, regulation of the use of space, and an administration that values the Ecosystem Base are key to the process of elaboration of the MSP and its governance. We present in the article the venture of offshore wind farms, with emphasis on the projects planned for the coast of Ceará, so that we can make inferences about the real application of the MSP and its benefits. In the full appreciation of the article, it is understood that its application is broad, with complexity in the necessary harmonizations of use that must start from working meetings with all users of the studied space. The expectation of the authors is that from the Pilot Project of implantation of the MSP in the South Brazilian Marine Region - SMR, we can replicate the model for the other Marine Regions of Brazil and make the use of the marine space sustainable.
