ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to illustrate:
Why close connection to spatial planning for the land may be of value in developing the human dimension of marine planning and management;
How key theoretical debates regarding the purpose and process of terrestrial planning might serve to stimulate critical reflection upon the purpose and process of planning for the sea;
How new marine planning and management regimes can draw upon terrestrial planning experience and be tailored to particular cultural, legal and administrative contexts; and
How terrestrial planning can assist in understanding and delivering key aspects of EA.
