Abstract
  • Marine spatial management is confronted with complex situations in European countries due to multiple contexts, stakeholders, interests and management possibilities. As illustrated by some existing European Marine Spatial Plans (MSP) (see for instance the Dutch Integrated Management Plan North Sea 2015), the high level goals and intentions are frequently formulated by using the terms 'sustainable' and 'integrated', which tend to include every activity and objective. In this way they do not necessarily cause any high level conflict or stimulate discussion, as their broadness captures economic, social and ecological objectives, as well as all sectors and interests operating in the coastal zone. In other words, the existing MSPs are to general to suggest any priority to an allocation strategy for certain activities or zoning, although they may provide a nice starting point for further discussion. In practice, however, the policy makers need to make priorities for certain activities or zoning based on a large amount of information which may suggest different, maybe opposite solutions. Moreover, the many user and non-user interests are asserting their particular interests, while only some are successful in their lobbying. The information utilized to make a management decision may stem from research disciplines perceived more important, without a reflection on whether this is the most relevant information for the situation in question, or is based on future perspectives which are not shared by the public/ the stakeholders. Consequentially, it is not clear why only some arguments and information influence final outcomes. With this in mind, it is important to ensure more transparency in relation to making marine spatial allocation decisions by a systematic treatment of all the relevant information. There is a need for an effective evaluation framework that can ensure that 2 sound and legitimate decisions on allocation of rights, duties and limitations at sea are made. The main goal of this paper is to develop a suitable evaluation framework, which can be applied in marine management contexts in European countries to assess the effectiveness of different management options. The coexistence of the aquaculture and fishery sectors with other activities, such as environmental protection, wind mills, tourism and sand extraction, is central to the evaluation framework. Furthermore, due to the complexity in a total of six European case studies; the Hardangerfjord, the Atlantic coast, the Algarve coast, the Adriatic Sea coast, the coastal North Sea and the Baltic Sea, with variations in scale, institutions, future outlook, issues and sectors, a non-fixed adaptive frame is seen appropriate. The differences include, for instance, the aquaculture sector being central in all case studies except to the coastal North Sea, where the fishery sector is operating at a larger scale. Moreover, a local level is applied in the Hardangerfjord, the Baltic Sea, the Algarve coast and the Adriatic Sea, whereas the Atlantic coast and the coastal North Sea are multinational approaches are being implemented. The many differences imply that direct comparisons of similarities across case studies may be difficult, as the framework is adapted to the relevant circumstances. However, given the discrepancies observed, the differences and similarities across case studies will be discussed. While the framework can be applied to facilitate multiple stakeholder participation and assist in providing a good overview of different types of information, in the CoExist project it is further specified for the evaluation of effectiveness of marine spatial measures relevant to a future perspective until 2020.
