Cover Story: Human pressures on marine ecosystems significantly increased during the last few decades. The aim of the research, carried out in the Adriatic Sea, was to test a repeatable Marine Spatial Planning framework aimed at enhancing the sustainability of fisheries. Results highlighted the spatial features of the major fishing pressures affecting essential fish habitats, marine mammals, and turtles in the study area. A portfolio of possible management measures is identified, providing clear evidence that, in order to mitigate emerging conflicts and cumulative impacts, it is necessary to combine and integrate different types of measures and an effective exchange with fisheries stakeholders. Given the complex set of measures discussed, this work can provide a useful contribution to the management of fisheries both at a local and regional level, fostering the transition to sustainable fisheries.
