Description

The National Planning Areas correspond to the marine areas for which the different national authorities are responsible.

MSP Challenge

In the MSP Challenge, each of these areas is developed by one team. However, joint plans, overlapping more than one local authority area, are possible if the affected local authorities approve the plan. This is the equivalent of the Exclusive Economic Zones in other MSP editions.
