Deliverables
Deliverable 4.1 - Ocean literacy regional plan
The University of Venice (Iuav) developed a tool to help local authorities to develop and enlarge their strategies on ocean literacy. Ocean literacy is a broad concept involving culture, education, regulations and research. The overall aim of ocean literacy is to enable informed and responsible decisions about human activities and their impact on the ocean.
Deliverable 3.2 - Data report
The REGINA-MSP project aims to greater integrate regional and sub-regional needs, perspectives and stakeholders into Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). The development and access to locally-relevant and up to date data is one important way to better engage regional actors in the elaboration and implementation of MSP action. Through its task 3.2 dedicated to data, the REGINA-MSP project engaged European case study regions to address their diverse data needs, tailored to their unique characteristics, through collaborative efforts. Building on the insights from previous European projects as well as workshops and online meetings conducted as part of the REGINA-MSP project with regional representatives, this reports explores the complex data landscape to address regional needs for MSP initiatives. This report also describes the various actions undertaken as part of this task 3.2 and their outcomes, such as the development of a platform for stakeholders to share insights, explore strategies, and identify opportunities for enhancing data accessibility and use in MSP. Presentations and discussions (including an interactive activity on exploring regional conflicts of use) also highlighted initiatives and tools supporting MSP processes, which are further illustrated in this report.
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. The level of integration of these plans and strategies into MSP varies greatly depending on the country and the role of regions into the MSP process. A lack of operational integration of regional and local plans and strategies into MSP was observed.
Deliverable 2.1 - Initial survey
The REGINA-MSP project released a report analysis following a survey addressing regional and national implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning in European countries. The report was coordinated by the University College Cork's MaREI Centre (UCC-MaREI) and the conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR) and supported by THETIS as consultants, in the framework of the Work Package 2. The report delivers a state of play of the MSP implementation based on 36 collected replies from 12 countries, including local and regional authorities, national and federal authorities and agencies, NGOS, Universities, and fishery associations.
Deliverable 1.3 - Project fact sheet
The project aims at improving the participation of the Regions, local authorities and stakeholders in the development and implementation of national Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). Building on a general analysis and discussion at European level and in-depth study of 8 regional case studies in 5 countries (Ireland, France, Spain, Italy and Greece), it is expected that this project will enhance uptake at regional level to further promote MSP, improving its contribution to the European Green Deal and interaction with the European Cohesion Policy. Recommendations will benefit MSP processes and the coordination of public policies at European, national and regional levels.
