short_description	The aim of the study is to test the efficacy of the WWF ecosystem-based management (EBM) checklist and the Baltic SCOPE Checklist Toolkit approach in assessing the integration of the ecosystem approach in Marine Spatial Planning. As such, it is the first study to comprehensively assess existing UK and Irish marine plans and processes using a consistent set of criteria.
