- Steps toward a shared governance response for achieving good environmental status in the Mediterranean SeaPublication . Cinnirella, Sergio; Sarda, Rafael; Luis Suarez de Vivero, Juan; Brennan, Ruth; Barausse, Alberto; Icely, John; Luisetti, Tiziana; March, David; Murciano, Carla; Newton, Alice; O'Higgins, Tim; Palmeri, Luca; Palmieri, Maria Giovanna; Raux, Pascal; Rees, Sian; Albaiges, Joan; Pirrone, Nicola; Turner, KerryThe Mediterranean region is of fundamental importance to Europe given its strategic position. The responsibility for its overall ecosystem integrity is shared by European Union Member States (EU-MS) and other Mediterranean countries. A juxtaposition of overlapping governance instruments occurred recently in the region, with the implementation of both the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) for EU-MS and the Ecosystem Approach Strategy (ECAP) for all Mediterranean countries, including EU-MS. Both MSFD and ECAP are structured around vision-driven processes to achieve Good Environmental Status and a Healthy Environment, respectively. These processes have clear ecosystem-based, integrated policy objectives to guarantee the preservation and integrity of Mediterranean marine ecosystem goods and services. However, adoption of these instruments, especially those related to the new EU-MS directives on marine policy, could result in a governance gap in addition to the well-known economic gap between the EU and the non-EU political blocs. We identify two complementary requirements for effective implementation of both MSFD and ECAP that could work together to reduce this gap, to ensure a better alignment between MSFD and ECAP and better planning for stakeholder engagement. These are key issues for the future success of these instruments in a Mediterranean region where discrepancies between societal and ecological objectives may pose a challenge to these processes.
- Transboundary dimensions of marine spatial planning: fostering inter-jurisdictional relations and governancePublication . Jay, Stephen; Alves, Fátima L.; O'Mahony, Cathal; Gomez, Maria; Rooney, Aoibheann; Almodovar, Margarida; Gee, Kira; Luis Suarez de Vivero, Juan; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Fernandes, Maria da Luz; Tello, Olvido; Twomey, Sarah; Prado, Inmaculada; Fonseca, Catarina; Bentes, L.; Henriques, Guida; Campos, AldinoThere is broad agreement that marine spatial planning (MSP) should incorporate transboundary considerations, reflecting the cross-border nature of marine and coastal ecosystem dynamics and maritime resources and activities. This is recognised in the European Union's recent legislation on MSP, and experience in transboundary approaches is developing through official processes and pilot studies. However, differences between institutional systems, priorities and practices may not easily be overcome in transboundary initiatives. This requires a stronger focus on understanding the governance frameworks within which MSP operates and fostering interlinkages between them. This article discusses a European funded project in which emphasis was placed on joint-working in every aspect, based on principles of equity and mutual trust. This led to the development of inter-relations, not just of the geographies and maritime resources and activities of the marine areas concerned, but also of the systems of data management, governance and policy-making and of the participants involved as officials or stakeholders, including their means and cultures of exchange. It is suggested that transboundary initiatives in MSP would benefit by complementing current resource management-focused understandings with governance and policy-related perspectives, drawing on experience in other fields of territorial cooperation.
