  abstract = {{M}arine spatial planning ({MSP}), a process aimed at negotiating the spatial allocation of human activities at sea, has to integrate new challenges arising from growing human activities and their impacts on threatened marine ecosystems. {Y}et, human-wildlife interactions that result in threat to humans are rarely explicitly addressed in planning and almost not at all in {MSP}. {R}are events of unprovoked shark bites can significantly impact local economies while leading to polarized social debates that often hinder the development of evidence-based shark risk public policy. {H}ere, we suggest an approach for integrating shark risk and its management into {MSP}. {T}he method addresses simultaneously the spatial, social, and ecological components of shark risk and its inherent uncertainties. {T}he approach is applied on {R}eunion {I}sland case study where shark risk management is implemented as a response to a rapid increase in the frequency of shark bite events over the past decade. {S}imilar to other countries where shark risk management is implemented, sharks' removal is in the heart of social debate in {R}eunion {I}slands (3860 shark fishing operations in 5 years) and data gaps provide a fertile ground for alternative discourses and social conflicts about shark risk. {T}hrough a structured public consultation involving 200 stakeholders we demonstrate how {MSP} can be used to address shark risk while considering multiple sea-uses and conservation objectives. {T}he results suggest that the approach is ideal, both for integrating shark risk as a driver to the {MSP} process, and for developing a transparent, sustainable and evidence-based shark risk public policy as it places shark risk management within a broader social-ecological spectrum of stakes.},
