  1. Maritime Spatial Planning: Transboundary Cooperation in the Celtic Seas Cumulative Effects Assessment and Marine Spatial Planning

  2. 2 SIMCelt Pilot projects: Irish Sea Brittany; Approach: Human activities Receiving environment Pressures; How to make CEA functional for marine planning community? Recommendations on CEA for MSP. Cumulative Effects Assessment in the Celtic Seas: SIMCelt Case Study

  3. SIMCelt Pilot Projects Irish Sea Receiving Environment Cumulative/ Concomitant Effects Pressures Human Activities Brittany

  4. Generating maps to report CEA does not fully address the requirements of MSP; • Need to consider scale, baseline conditions and temporal changes; • Addressing Cumulative Effects Assessment in MSP is a process: • Purpose of the cumulative effects assessment • Scoping process using ecosystem-based approach • Reporting and visualising cumulative effects • Identify management options • Collation of data • Risk of impact • Environmental Effect • Development scenarios. CEA in Marine Spatial Planning: Learning from SIMCelt Case Study

  5. MSP Directive and Cumulative Effects MSP will contribute to the effective management of marine activities and the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources, by creating a framework for consistent, transparent, sustainable and evidence-based decision-making MSP should apply an ecosystem-based approach …. with the aim of ensuring that the collective pressure of all activities is kept within levels compatible with the achievement of good environmental status and that the capacity of marine ecosystems to respond to human-induced changes is not compromised, while contributing to the sustainable use of marine goods and services by present and future generations. The approach will also allow for an adaptive management which ensures refinement and further development as experience and knowledge increase

  6. How can Cumulative Effects Assessment methodology be incorporated in MSP? CEA ? CEA ?

  7. SIMCelt Closing ConferenceCEA Workshop: Participants 31

  8. CEA and MSPStrengths, Challenges, Solutions Organizing Stakeholder participation Preparing and approving the plan Monitoring and evaluating performance

  9. CEA and MSPStrengths, Challenges, Solutions Identifying the need and establishing authority? Defining and analysing future conditions?

  10. CEA and MSPKey Messages MSP Focussed • CEA an important and fundamental tool for MSP – should be an area for future development • Start with a strategic view don’t worry about detailed mapping CEA Focussed • Remember end user • Outputs • Communication – language associated with CEA • Not just one technique • Scale • Data: transboundary/cross border; sharing; collecting; monitoring; guidances; money!! • Data!!!!!!!!!!!
