  1. PISCESWorkshop 2: Formulating Guidelines Partnership Involving Stakeholders in the Celtic Sea EcoSystem

  2. Project goal • To translate the Ecosystem Approach from policy to practice through a model than can be replicated in the EU and beyond.

  3. We aim to: • Influence Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) implementation • Create an opportunity for stakeholders to demonstrate acceptable guidelines • Develop strength in a common voice

  4. The PISCES approach • Practical guideline production • Stakeholder-led • Multi-sectoral • Regional and multi-country • Flagship project • A surprisingly unique approach

  5. Celtic Sea sub-region Where are we working?

  6. Outputs of the first workshop • Multi-sector, multi-national group convened • Ecosystem Approach (EA) definitions • Benefits and challenges • Spatial tools • Related projects (maximise synergies) • Listening & responding to stakeholders…

  7. PISCES response to the first workshop (1) • Working definition of Ecosystem Approach : • “The Ecosystem Approach is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way” (Convention on Biological Diversity) • Thisincludes people, their activities and institutions

  8. Ecosystem Approach definition • Short definition of Ecosystem Approach : • “Sustaining Benefits – For All – For Ever”

  9. PISCES response to the first workshop (2) • Clarity on project purpose • Online tutorials/seminars • Internet, intranet, newsletter & more

  12. Planning this workshop • Unpacking guidelines • Hierarchy – Principle/objectives/action plans • ‘Strawman’ to explore principles • But PISCES is stakeholder-led

  13. Purpose of this workshop • Agree principles • First draft of guidelines (cross-sectoral & Celtic Sea) • Get your ideas and inputs - vision • Move forward – enable different speeds & roles • Workshop objectives

  14. Looking beyond this workshop • Involving non-attendees • Refine guideline drafts • Involve Advisory Group • Sectoral positions & responses • Review by 300 wider stakeholders

  15. Looking beyond this workshop • Third workshop – tuning guidelines • Not just a word exercise – testing & proving
