Deliverable 3.1 - Regional analysis report
The inventory and cross-analysis of 140 marine and coastal strategies at the regional and local levels in the REGINA-MSP case studies areas has been conducted.

A lack of operational integration of regional and local plans and strategies into MSP was observed.
