1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
FishMPABlue2 project is the follow-up of the FishMPABlue project funded by Interreg MED
Programme 2007-2013 (from now on: FishMPABlue 1).
FishMPABlue 1 carried out an analysis (based on literature review and questionnaires answer by
MPA’s managers) on the management of small scale fishery (SSF) within and around a set of
Mediterranean MPAs, and developed the so called “regional-based governance toolkit” of potential
measures for small scale fisheries (SSF) governance in and around MPAs (i.e. composed by
multiple key-elements, also called “tools”) enabling MPAs to reach successful management of
SSF. More specifically FishMPABlue 1 highlighted that fish stocks are healthier, fishermen
incomes are higher and the social acceptance of management practices is promoted (so overall a
successful management of SSF is reached) if a set of elements is present in a MPA (e.g. high
MPA enforcement, presence of a management plan, high fishermen engagement in MPA
management, fishermen representative in the MPA board, and promotion of sustainable fishing).
The aims of FishMPABlue2 are:
- to test the governance toolkit (i.e. by implementing these elements or increasing their level),
through multiple Pilot Actions in selected MPAs
- to assess and quantify its effectiveness in achieving expected results in terms of MPA ecological
effectiveness, benefits delivered to SSF and social acceptance of management measures by
stakeholders.
Pilot actions in selected MPAs will be implemented mainly through a contract between each
relevant country-based project partner (PP) (with the exception of WWF MedPO for Spain and
University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis for Greece) and the correspondent MPA managing body that
will be directly engaged to test (supported by several capacity-building actions implemented by the
project) the toolkit.
WWF Adria is launching an Open Call for the implementation of Pilot Projects in Croatian and
Slovenia MPAs.
The Call is financed by the Interreg MED Programme.
EXPECTED PROJECT OUTPUTS:
• Tested and upgraded version of the “governance toolkit”
• New concepts and procedures for associating conservation (MPAs) and sustainable
fisheries (FRAs)
• Evaluation Report on Pilot Actions results on MPAs territories
• Pilot MPAs (11) engagement in Pilot Project implementation and upgraded toolkit adoption
• Formal engagement by at least 5 additional MPAs in “Governance Toolkit” adoption and
implementation

B: Detail description and timeline of the activities to be carried out:
3.1. Testing the governance toolkit- overall approach
One of the main objective of the project is to implement the “Governance toolkit” in 11 Pilot MPAs
and to assess the benefits (from ecological, economic and social perspectives) arising from such
implementation. Testing will be carried out, in the first phase (“preparation phase” see below), by
engaging selected MPA management body and local small scale fishermen in the establishment of
a formal “Local Governance Cluster - LGC” among the two; this new cooperation body (the LCG)
will be responsible, along with WWF Adria and under the guidance of the FishMPABlue2 Project
FishMPABlue2 – Terms of Reference for Pi lo t Projects
5
Work Package 3 (WP3) coordinator, of the selection of a set of tools (from the list within the
governance toolkit and under the guidance of WP3 coordinator) to be tested for implementation in
the corresponding Pilot MPA.
Testing will be supported by a capacity-building strategy (provided by the FishMPABlue2 Project)
targeting mainly LGC and other local stakeholders (e.g. local administrations, economic actors,
NGOs, etc.) and through various other activities such as on-the-spot coaching to support
preparation, testing and monitoring aspects of the pilot action. The capacity building strategy will
have a common approach for all the Pilot MPAs, whereas the implementation of the selected
governing tools will be based on the specific features of each Pilot MPA.
LGCs will be supported in the implementation of the selected tools by WWF Adria, which provides
technical and financial support, on the basis of a formal contract that will be signed by WWF Adria
with the MPA managing body following this call for tenders.
WP3 coordinator and Conisma (project partner) will provide the LGC with the scientific
methodology for monitoring the ecological, economic and social effects of the implementation of
multiple tools. Monitoring of such effects will be carried out in each Pilot MPA by University of Nice
Sophia Antipolis (UNS) and Conisma, involving the LGC (particularly for the economic and social
evaluation), following common standardized procedures in order to assess changes in
management effectiveness of each pilot MPA due to adoption (i.e. testing) of specific governing
tools.
3.1.1. Testing the governance toolkit: time frame of the pilot projects implementation
Pilot project will be executed in 23 months, following a common structure:
I. Preparation (6 months): WWF Adria will support LGC, under coordination of the MPA
managing body, in assessing the needs and identifying the governance tools to be tested in each
Pilot MPA, and planning the follow up activities.
II. Testing (15 months): identified governance tools are implemented in each pilot MPA by the
LGC, under coordination of the MPA managing body, with the “coaching” from WWF Adria. In this
phase, the scientific monitoring will be carried out both before implementing the governance tools
(“before phase”) and after its implementation (“after phase”), by UNS + Conisma with the MPA
managing body (see 3.1.2 for details about the tasks to be carried out), in order to measure the
ecological, economic and social status of the MPA and the potential effects of the governance
tools.
III. Evaluation (1 months): monitoring data from each pilot MPA will be assembled and
analysed by UNS and Conisma. Findings will be synthetized in both a scientific report – drafted by
UNS and Conisma - and in a communication tool issued by LGC, in order to restitute to local
stakeholders the assessment findings.
IV. Closure (1 months): testing results will be transferred and discussed among all the LGCs of
the pilot MPAs (11 pilots), to upgrade the tested “governance toolkit”. This will allow the project
partnership to prepare an updated version of the “governance toolkit” (for its dissemination towards
FishMPABlue2 – Terms of Reference for Pi lo t Projects
6
other MPAs in the Mediterranean in line with Project WP4 “Project results Dissemination and
networking”). Pilots MPAs have to deliver to relevant PPs (in this case WWF Adria) 6 brief
Progress reports (see Table 2 for details on deadlines) in order to allow WP3 Coordinator to
prepare a Report – to be submitted to the Project Work Package Coordination Group (WPCG) and
Project Steering Committee (PSC) – with the WP3 implementation state-of-play (Project
Deliverable 3.1.5). In parallel, a “cross-fertilization” (i.e. know-how exchanging) activity involving
the selected 11 pilot MPAs will be carried out, in order to capitalize, exchange and transfer the
results of each pilot MPA. This will be done through communication tools (e.g. thematic brochures,
online platform) and events (3 exchange visits, 1 training course, 1 sharing-experience conference,
and dissemination at national level events) where to share common challenges and solutions.
The management bodies of Pilot MPAs formally accept (through the signature of the contract with
the relevant PP) to engage themselves in the following activities:
a. implementation of the Pilot Action as foreseen by FishMPABlue2 project and described in
the Governance toolkit (attached to this Call for Tenders)
b. sharing with WWF Adria all the data needed to perform the final evaluation on the results
from testing the selected governance tools
c. formal adoption of the tested (and positively evaluated) governance tools and exploitation of
the latter also after the closure of the project
d. stable monitoring activity of ecological, economic and social aspects of small scale fisheries
management after the end of the project
e. participation in joint project training as foreseen by FishMPABlue2 project
f. participation in joint project events as foreseen by FishMPABlue2 project
For fulfilling these tasks each selected Pilot MPA will be contracted abn compensated of the
related expenses. The budget and typologies of expenses, the modalities to be compesated and
any other related provisions are described in the contract, of which the current document
represents an annex.
3.1.1 Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the preparation phase
WWF Adria formally engages the pertinent MPA managing body and ease the setting up of the
LGC between the corresponding MPA managing body and the local small scale fishermen
representative body/ies (if not existing, MPA managing body should ease its establishment). The
first activity of the LGC is therefore the identification of the needs for a successful management of
the SSF in the MPA; this activity will be based also on the collection of relevant data (describing
the current status of the SSF management in the MPA) implemented following specific data
collection tools issued by the project and with the support of WWF Adria.
Then the LGC should identify which governance tools should be the most suitable to be
implemented in that specific MPA according to specific guidelines issued by the project and
provided to each MPA. These are the ones listed in the FishMPABlue1-related “governance
toolkit”, additional ones indicated by FishMPABlue2 WP3 coordinator (e.g. reduction of fishing
effort for small scale and/or recreational fisheries).
Finally, WWF Adria and LCG should draft jointly the “Pilot Project Implementation Plan” (PPIP),
where all the activities needed to implement the pilot action – including the selected governance
FishMPABlue2 – Terms of Reference for Pi lo t Projects
7
tools are to be described. Along with the PPIP, the LCG will provide to WWF Adria, a break-down
of the costs related to the implementation of each of the selected tools.
In order to define the Pilot Project Implementation Plan (PPIP), at least 2 meetings between WWF
Adria and LGC should be organized in each Pilot MPA (Project Deliverable 3.2.2). The
organization of the 2 meetings should be led by the MPA management body. LGC should
guarantee the engagement of all the relevant local small scale fishermen in these two meetings.
The MPA management body will issue the Minutes of the two meetings within one week from the
meetings’ date.
A survey of MPAs features (i.e. related to fisheries management, environmental, economic and
social features of local fisheries) will be developed by each LGC (under coordination of the MPA
managing body), under the guidance of WP3 Coordinator. The objective is to define for each Pilot
MPA which fishery-related governance needs are the most important ones and which tools of the
toolkit are the most suitable ones to be implemented (Deliverable 3.2.3 “Survey on MPA features”).
With reference to this, the first step will be to perform a survey of the current status of
implementation – if any – of existing governance tools (e.g. enforcement, fishing effort, fishermen
engagement etc.) in each MPA. LGC will provide the needed data (using a standardized tool
prepared by WP3 Coordinator and providing data and studies already carried out previously) to
allow LGC to illustrate the current status regarding SSF in the MPA. Each Pilot MPA will deliver
specific information (e.g. on MPA zoning, bathymetry and habitats distribution of each MPA and
surrounding unprotected areas) needed in order to allow Project Partnership to properly plan the
design of the scientific ecological monitoring.
Based on outcomes from the “Survey on MPA features”, the meetings between WWF Adria and
LGC, and with the scientific guidance of WWF Adria and WP3 Coordinator, a description of the
selected governance tools and follow up activities will be done and drafted in the “Pilot Project
Implementation Plan – PPIP”. The Pilot Project Implementation Plan – PPIP will be formalized (i.e.
approved by WWF Adria and formally adopted by the LGC). Along with the PPIP, the LCG will
provide to WWF Adria a break-down of the costs related to the implementation of each of the
selected tools.
MPA managing body at first, and LCG too have to engage themselves that activities indicated in
the PPIP will be implemented by the set deadlines.
Authorizations for scientific monitoring (i.e. using underwater visual census and baited remote
underwater video) have to be guaranteed by the MPA managing body to UNS and Conisma
according to scientific monitoring schedule.
3.1.2. Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the testing phase
Pilot Project Implementation Plan should be carried out by the LGC, under coordination of the MPA
managing body and the “coaching” of WWF Adria.
The “Before phase” monitoring activity will be carried out in the following way:
• assessment of the MPA ecological status by WP3 Coordinator and PP2 Conisma, involving
the MPA staff during the monitoring activity, in order to stimulate a better understanding and
appropriation of the monitoring tools and guarantee a stable monitoring system, after the end of
the project;
• the MPA economic and socio-cultural status will be assessed by each LCG under the
coordination of the MPA managing body and the supervision of the WWF Adria and WP3
FishMPABlue2 – Terms of Reference for Pi lo t Projects

coordinator, following the methodology issued by WP3 coordinator and Conisma, and exploiting
common tools developed by the project partnership.
For the economic assessment, the MPA managing body will ensure the monitoring of SSF catches
within the buffer zone of the MPA (if exist) and surrounding unprotected areas according to a
sampling design that will be tailored by the WP3 Coordinator (UNS) and Conisma. The monitoring
of small scale fishing catches should be carried out by experienced operators, and photographic
documentation must be regularly provided to WWF Adria to ensure high quality-standard of data
collection. The monitoring of SSF will be performed following specific guidelines that will be
provided by the WP3 coordinator.
For the social assessment, specific questionnaires will be developed by the project partnership and
will be used by the LCG to obtain the data.
In the framework of the “Building capacity” Strategy of the project, 2 training activities will be
organized where all the 11 MPAs have to attend (Deliverable 3.3.1). Pilot MPAs managing bodies
have to ensure the attendance of at least 1 MPA managing body staff/LCG representative at each
of the 2 workshops:
• The first one will focus on environmental, economic and social monitoring methodology and
techniques. During this workshop WP3 Coordinator and PP2 CONISMA, will present the
methodologies selected for environmental, economic and social monitoring and will provide
guidance on how to perform scientific monitoring on economic and social aspects in order
to ensure a solid and consistent data collection in all the pilot MPAs;
• The second one will deal with governance measures, in order to allow MPAs (and project
partnership) to learn lessons from 11 pilot implementation outcomes (May 2018, location to
be defined) organized by MedPAN and IUCN Med.
In May-June 2018, effectiveness of governing tools implementation will be assessed (“After
phase”) in the same way, i.e.
- on environmental components through on-field monitoring activity, implemented by WP3
Coordinator and PP2 Conisma and involving the MPA managing body staff (see above);
- on economic and social components by each LCG, using the same tools that were
previously used on the “Before phase”, under coordination of the MPA managing body and the
supervision of WWF Adria and WP3 coordinator.
The experience obtained by LCG during the project will be a crucial tool for the MPAs to set up a
permanent monitoring system which will continue after the project closure. MPAs will formally
commit themselves – before the end of the project – to carry-on monitoring after project
completion.
3.1.3. Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the evaluation phase
Ecological, economic and socio-cultural data gathered in each pilot MPA during “Testing” phase,
before and after the governance toolkit implementation, will be assembled and statistically
analysed by UNS and Conisma by September 2018, and the main results will be adopted by the
project partnership.
Main findings will be synthetized in both a scientific report – by UNS and Conisma - and in a
communication tool – issued by LGC (Deliverable 3.4.2), in order to provide the results to the local
FishMPABlue2 – Terms of Reference for Pi lo t Projects
9
stakeholders (during the closure meeting planned in September 2018). These findings will be
crucial to assess the efficiency of the governance toolkit and to provide guidelines for future
management of MPAs in relation to SSF and governance approaches.
3.1.4. Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the closure phase
The findings described in the “Evaluation”-related Report will be transferred and discussed in a
“closure” meeting (Deliverable 3.5.1) with LGC and main stakeholders of each pilot MPA
(September 2018) to upgrade the tested “governance toolkit”. MPAs management bodies will
contribute to disseminate these results to other stakeholders (see Section 3).
This will allow the project partnership to prepare an updated version of the “governance toolkit”
taking into an account the results of testing and the discussions with stakeholders.
The closure meeting has be organized by MPA management body in collaboration with WWF Adria
and engaging all the main stakeholders of LGC.
The Governance toolkit is an appendice to this document.
3.1.5. Minimum standards required
Any submitted proposal will be assessed against the following criteria:
• Being consistent with and contributing to the official conservation and sustainable fisheries
goals of the protected area.
• Being consistent with sectoral sustainable policies at national and local level.
• Describing the existing systems/tools/activities to monitor fisheries related impacts/benefits,
and declaring availability to test new tools as identified during the Pilot Project
implementation.
• Demonstrating to have an existing participatory fisheries planning system/tool where the
main fisheries related stakeholders are involved, and how it will be involved in the Pilot
Project implementation.
