The Marine Spatial Planning Act establishes the mechanism for the development of marine spatial planning in South Africa. It facilitates the establishment of a National Working Group, a Directors – General Committee and a Ministerial Committee. The act limits the area of the spatial planning to South African waters meaning South Africa’s territorial waters, EEZ and the continental shelf but excluding freshwater bodies and estuaries.
