Supporting economic activities for coastal regions and communities
Coastal regions home to over 205 million
people
88 million people work there The blue economy
represents nearly €500 billion GVA and5.6 million jobs

Blue Growth CommunicationSeptember 2012
• Link to Europe 2020• Sea Basins• Growth Policies (Short Sea Shipping, LeaderShip,
innovation, research, technology)• Specific objectives:
• Aquaculture• Maritime Tourism• Blue Biotech• Seabed mining• Ocean Energy
The Limassol Declaration8 October 2012
• Builds on Europe 2020• From Concept to Delivery• Link to Blue Book 2007• Maritime Policy agenda for next 5 years +• Innovation• Sustainability, Growth, Jobs• Access to finance: MFF 2014-2020
Maritime Spatial Planning (and ICZM)
• Enable Growth at sea – harness potential
• Sustainability
• EU objectives
• Human activities at sea are at the core
Study on economic effects of MSP (estimates):
• Lower coordination cost
• Reduced Administrative costs
• Lower transaction costs: 400 million – 1,8 billion euros in 2030
• Enhanced investment climate: 155 million – 1.6 billion euros in 2030
Why EU action?
Added value:•Supports and strengthens ongoing development•Cross-border cooperation•Seamless integration•Efficiency gain, transparency, predictability, stabilityNo interest:•Micromanagement•Adding needless regulation
Examples• Energy
• North Sea offshore grid• Re-use of oil platforms• Interaction with shipping, fisheries, MPAs• Needs to cut costs – planning, licensing, research
etc.
• Environment• MSFD implementation• Natura 2000• Fisheries
• Complementarities?
A few fundamentals
• Defining objectives to guide MSP• Developing MSP in a transparent manner• Stakeholder participation• Coordination and simplifying decision processes• Cross-border cooperation and consultation• Incorporating monitoring and evaluation in the
planning process• Achieving coherence between terrestrial and
maritime spatial planning• Strong data and knowledge base
Blue Growth
Blue Growth for the optimal use of marine resourcesContribution of the blue economy to Europe's growth
