MESMA method • MESMA: Monitoring and evaluation of spatially managed areas
Timeline MESMA Dec ‘09: start 2010: review studies, development framework 2011: 1st test MESMA method using case studies 2012: 2nd test 2013: Final product
Results MESMA Documents available at www.mesma.org: • EU habitat catalogue (EUNIS 4/5/6 levels) • Review marine spatial management • Overview EU policy landscape for MSP • Tool library (MSP tools) • Geoportal
MESMA & MSFD MESMA method helpful for 2012 Initial assessment - 2012 Determination GES - 2012 Establishment targets - 2014 Monitoring programmes + 2016 Marine strategy ++
Lessons learnt • MESMA conceived before MSFD was implemented • MESMA analyses/reviews MSP, and the MSFD is one element • Spatial data not readily available Own experience (apart from MESMA) • At start of MSFD process: too little communication between scientists on international level Communication • Lack of overview of projects • Sharing of geoportals would help • Central overview of MSFD related projects -> more generic approach to determine effects human impact
