To supply a French-English single step by step for coherent
management plans between MPAs
• What are the main ecological features at stake? How to
prioritise the objectives in my MPA?
• For the selected features, what kind of long term objectives
could be set?
• What are the main categories of measures?
• How to monitor the level of achievement of the long term
objectives?
• What are the main resources (stakeholders and tools) to
support management plan implementation in the United
Kingdom and France?

Prospects for cooperation
Biogeographical seminar for the management of marine Natura 2000 sites Saint-Malo – 6 May 2015 Benjamin Ponge – French MPAs Agency
• INTERREG is good for you!
• Networking ecology and people
• Joint management of cross-border Natura 2000 sites
• Plan concrete management actions jointly on pilot sites
• Including monitoring and assessment
• Take on board relevant organisations.
• Take advantage of this funding to implement advanced tools.
• Setting up common observatories at regional level for birds,
marine mammals, habitats
• Create a network of managers of marine Natura 2000 sites
(or all MPAs)
