摘要

The approval of Spain’s Maritime Spatial Plans (Planes de Ordenación del Espacio Marítimo, POEMs) through Real Decreto 150/2023 constitutes a decisive moment in the governance of maritime cultural heritage within marine spatial planning (MSP). This article provides an in-depth, heritage-centred analysis of how cultural heritage is conceptualised, regulated and spatialised within Spain’s MSP framework. Drawing on systematic analysis of the Real Decreto and the five POEM, the paper examines, within broader European trends in MSP and maritime heritage, the designation of heritage priority areas, the protection measures attached to them, and their uneven regional implementation. Extended regional analyses explore how heritage knowledge, institutional arrangements and sectoral pressures shape outcomes across Spain’s maritime demarcations. The article contends that while Real Decreto 150/2023 enhances the legal visibility of cultural heritage, MSP remains largely reactive and protective, with limited capacity to integrate heritage into strategic spatial decision-making, highlighting the contrast between recognition and operational spatialization. The paper concludes by outlining implications for maritime heritage and future MSP cycles.
