World Bank: Pioneering Marine Spatial Planning in Morocco – Publication design

Marine spatial planning is most effective when everyone from the government to private sector players to artisanal fishers are involved in governance decisions from the planning stages. These parties should also be informed by current, relevant, and accessible data, which can usefully be represented on a map, and help them make the best decisions when it comes to their fisheries and their livelihoods.

To support Morocco in conserving its fisheries and improving their management, the World Bank recently published a report capturing lessons learnt from a technical assistance activity that proposes the use of marine spatial planning. The government plans to apply this approach to identify the location for a proposed new marine protected area in Agadir, on Morocco’s Atlantic coastline.

We collaborated with Jen Stastny, integrating her editing talent with TEA’s creative prowess to produce this beautiful publication that effortlessly helps to portray the story of Marine Spatial Planning in Morocco.
