Maritime Protected Areas Europe considers EGD at sea wishes to map the ideal position of marine protecdet areas (MPAs) in European seas. This contributes to the EGD in terms of Climate change adaptation (scenarios, modelling), Biodiversity and ecosystem protection (preservation, distribution), Research and Innovation and Carbon dynamics.
Improved Science-Based Maritime Spatial Planning to Safeguard and Restore Biodiversity in a coherent European MPA network is a Horizon Europe project which demonstrates how knowledge-based MSP becomes a vehicle and a tool for the protection and recovery of ecosystems, by developing an integrated flexible Ecological-Socio-Economic management framework. The project established Science-Policy Dialogue Think tank to co-develop key policy recommendations in collaboration with linked projects and achieve validation through the engagement with policy actors. It aims at collaborating with sister projects to jointly communicate scientific outputs to policy makers in a simple form and to scrutinize them against policy coherence criteria. The Think Tank involved relevant experts and scientists as well as policy stakeholders at the EU and regional seas level. This contributes to the EGD in terms of biodiversity and ecosystem protection.
PERMAGOV: Improving Performance of EU Marine Governance PERMAGOV aims to contribute to the realization of the EU Green Deal objectives by improving implementation and performance of EU marine policies. PERMAGOV’s project objectives are: 1) co-developing and applying a Marine Governance Performance Assessment Framework to assess how institutional barriers, formal and informal collaborations and e-governance tools enable and constrain the capability of actors to implement EU marine policies within the areas of Marine Energy, Maritime Transport, Marine Life and Marine Litter; and 2) co-producing Multi-Layered Collaborative Marine e-Governance Strategies which enhance the capability of end-users to contribute to the implementation of EU marine policies related to the four marine issue areas to achieve the EU Green Deal goals. PERMAGOV will contribute to the improved performance of marine polices and a successful implementation of the EU Green Deal objectives, by an assessment of 9 cases (De-carbonizing shipping, Motorways of the Sea (Maritime Shipping), Seabed integrity, Sustainable fisheries in MPAs (Marine Life), Floating Wind, Energy island, Offshore Wind (Marine Energy), Marine litter (Baltic and Mediterranean Seas)(Marine Plastics)), focusing on the enabling and constraining conditions of institutional barriers and the possibilities for multi-layered collaborative and e-governance. Characteristics for PERMAGOV is co-production and co-creation from the start to the end of the project and beyond. Together with end-users and stakeholders from maritime industries, NGOs, researchers and policymakers the Performance Assessment Framework will be developed and applied, in co-production the cases will be assessed, innovative Governance Strategies will be developed and digital tools will be improved in order to overcome the barriers hampering the performance of marine policies and the successful implementation of the objectives of the European Green Deal. Main EGD topics addressed are: Sustainable mobility, sustainable food system, biodiversity, zero pollution, circular economy, climate neutrality, clean energy.
MSPACE – Marine Spatial Planning Addressing Climate Effects is a highly integrated, multidisciplinary project designed to drive forward climate-smart, economically viable, and socially acceptable UK marine spatial planning. In collaboration with the Marine Climate Change Impacts (MCCIP), MSPACE has recently published its 'early warning system', a state-of-the-art modelling analysis revealing the optimal locations and durations for supporting marine conservation, fisheries, and aquaculture activities across UK seas. The project's final output will provide case-study specific recommendations for designing climate-smart, economically viable, and socially acceptable strategies that support sustainable co-location of marine uses, conservation efforts, natural capital preservation, and resource exploitation. MSPACE will continue until 2025, with a web-based tool being collaboratively developed with policy and industry stakeholders across UK nations. It contributes to the green transition in terms of Climate change adaptation, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Protection and Sustainable Seafood Production.
