Systemic approach to the spatial organization of maritime activities on the coast

This article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the process of change in the interaction of different business entities, on the example of the fishing industry, within the framework of regional management. Foreign experience and expertise of the planned economy of the USSR shows the need to create conditions for effective spatial interaction of business entities offshore and onshore areas of the coastal regions. Currently, in contrast to the planned economy, at the regional level there is no authority which would harmonize various potential users of the coastal and marine parts of the seaside region. Each participant pursues its corporate interest, often ignoring the socio-economic development of the region. Even within the same industry, the interests of interrelated business entities often do not coincide, so the search for effective mechanisms of spatial organization continues.Results of the study are presented. A comparative analysis of approaches to spatial development of the coastal regions regional economy is carried out, the marine spatial planning, comprehensive and integrated approach to the management of maritime activities is given. The urgent necessity to change the current approaches in the management of maritime activities is indicated , taking into account the need to create links with the coastal infrastructure of the seaside region. An infrastructure approach to manage such a unique area is suggested.. The experience of the spatial organization of the regional economy of developed market economies, in particular the creation of regional cluster associations is studied. The authors propose the development of infrastructure enterprises engaged in interaction within the marine waters and coastal areas of the northern region of Russia, typical of many coastal regions. The proposed solution of problems within the cluster association in the «spatial Kola coastal zone» will ensure the harmonization of interests of business in this area in order to achieve maximum synergy in the development of the regional economy, securing the socioeconomic development of the region as a whole.
