European Maritime Day
Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a key tool for balancing environmental, social and economic objectives for the sea. The international dimension inherent in many maritime activities, as well as the ecosystem approach, mean that a transboundary approach to MSP will increasingly be required.
This workshop is based on lessons in transboundary MSP in four regional seas: the Atlantic (TPEA - Algarve / Gulf of Cadiz and East Coast of Ireland / Irish Sea), the Baltic (PartiSEApate), the North Sea (North Sea Grid Initiative), and the Mediterranean (AdriPlan).
It will highlight the specific opportunities that transboundary MSP offers to realise cross-border synergies in sea use and ecosystem management.
The workshop will be framed by a global overview of the state of transboundary MSP and provide an opportunity for discussing key aspects with a panel of MSP experts.
