dc.description.abstractOver the period of two decades, integrated coastal management has been changed quite extensively in UK. Before the formal initiative of marine spatial planning at national level, there was a non-statutory approach to coastal management. The non-statutory approach to coastal management was based on cooperation of various coastal stakeholders through coastal partnerships. On the other hand, emerging marine spatial planning under devolved administrations of UK has an impact on the working of non-statutory coastal partnerships. In this research, the case-study of Severn Estuary Partnership has been taken in order to study the effects of developing marine spatial planning in England and Wales upon Severn Estuary Partnership. Therefore to position Severn Estuary Partnership in this newly developed marine planning process in England and Wales, this research has used the conceptual framework of network governance. Under the network governance conceptual framework, five organizational properties have been used to analyze the importance of Severn Estuary Partnership in Severn estuary region. This research has argued that even with the currently in-process marine planning in England and Wales, there is a slight shift and ‘new focus’ of SEP has been developed. This statutory marine planning process actually has strengthened the facilitator role of SEP because statutory organizations in England and Wales responsible for marine planning rely on SEP to take their view forward to the Severn Estuary stakeholders.en_US
