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

In the Adriatic Sea there are multiple National Planning Areas and disputed areas as you can see in the types below. Plans made in the disputed areas need approval from all countries in the sea basin.

Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase: Maritime Boundaries and Exclusive Economic Zones (200NM)
"Maritime Boundaries and Exclusive Economic Zones from the VLIZ Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase. Boundaries have been built using information about treaties between coastal countries. When treaties are not available, median lines have been calculated. An exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a seazone extending from a state's coast or baseline over which the state has special rights over the exploration and use of marine resources. Generally a state's EEZ extends 200 nautical miles out from its coast, except where resulting points would be closer to another country. This dataset also contains delimitation of overlapping claims and joint regimes." (Retrieved from https://www.vliz.be/en/imis?dasid=6316&doiid=386 on 2023-03-39).

The dataset was clipped to the area of interest, merged boundaries belonging to the same country in different seas, removed subtractive polygons and adjusted to fit the countries' layer without overlaps or gaps.
