Why an Adriatic project on ICZM and MSP?

Extraordinary value of Extraordinary value of Adriatic SeaAdriatic Sea among world inland seas, fundamental for the wellbeing and the strategic for prosperity of Adriatic Countries: a great environmental, cultural, economic value.

Increasing pressuresIncreasing pressures: human activities in coastal and marine areas develop conflicting claims on space and resources that threat some of most sensitive and precious habitats & assets.

Added value ofAdded value of cross-border cooperationcross-border cooperation: many issues cross regional and national borders. Sharing a common approach to manage coastal and marine space in the same sea basin can allow a better facing of global challenges (e.g. climate change).

• make human activities more sustainablesustainable in maritime & coastal areas

• manage & solve conflicts among different uses & usersconflicts among different uses & users and support the decision-making processes

• strengthen the role of role of ICZMICZM to the Adriatic region scale and build the basis for national and local strategies

General objectives (1)

• reach a good level of coherence between spatial planning of land and sea, in order to create a link between ICZM & MSPlink between ICZM & MSP

• enhance Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Adriatic area basing on EU key principles


General objectives (2)

• improve the institutional structureinstitutional structure, involving stakeholders and arising public awareness

• share data & experiences as a common basis of knowledge to allow a coherent & aware coherent & aware governancegovernance for the maritime and coastal environment

• develop a coherent frameworkcoherent framework of Adriatic Sea, contribute to EMODNET & objectives of Marine Framework Strategy

• coordinatecoordinate activities in Adriatic Sea with other experiences in the European framework

• create an Adriatic NetworkAdriatic Network to enhance and develop synergiessynergies among different projects
