 Marine Spatial Planning For Ocean Resources

2.
Plan and Policies A plan and policies give context to decisions and places boundaries for utilization of areas, which leads to predictability for all in decision making.

4.
Areas of Particular Concern Areas of Particular Concern (APCs) have been designated in state waters through the Ocean SAMP process with the goal of protecting areas that have high conservation value, cultural and historic value, or human use value from Large‐Scale Offshore Development.

5.
Areas Designated for Preservation Areas Designated for Preservation are designated in the Ocean SAMP area in state waters for the purpose of preserving them for their ecological value.6 Areas Designated for Preservation were identified by reviewing habitat and other ecological data and findings that have resulted from the Ocean SAMP process. Areas Designated for Preservation are afforded additional protection than Areas of Particular Concern because of scientific evidence indicating that Large‐Scale Offshore Development in these areas may result in significant habitat loss.

8.
Advantages of OSAMP. A Set Of Policies For Each Area Of The Plan Protection Of Existing Uses And Sensitive Resources Or Unsuitable Areas Informational Requirements For Major Ocean Developments And Development Standards For Those Uses Continued Stakeholder Representation Through FAB and HAB Public Review Every 2 Years and Mandatory Review Every 5 years. Expansion Of Blanket Coverage Federal Consistency Though GLD Potential payback already of 4 times the cost
