  1. A Strategic Analysis for identifying MPA’s : - Towards a Marine Spatial Planning Method for the French MPA Agency CAML Workshop Villefranche s/mer 18th May 2010 Amelia Curd

  2. The new French MPA Agency • - A new Public Establishment (law of 14th of April 2006) • - In direct relation with the French Ministry of Environment • - Some main missions : • Support public policies for both creating and managing MPA’s • Manage human and financial resources devoted to marine nature parks • Provide technical and administrative support to MPA managers CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  3. 11 Millions km2 • 3 oceans, Contracting party to 5 Regional Sea Conventions • Only 0,016 M km2 of MPA’s CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  4. The core to the Agency approach • Cross-checking data and the issues from three standpoints : • - Ecosystems, • - Natural heritage • - Uses and activities • Mapping : one of the most important activity of the Agency (6 GIS Specialists) • Stakeholder involvement CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  5. Definitions Marine Spatial Planning Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a practical way to create and establish a more rational organization of the use of marine space and the interactions between its uses, to balance demands for development with the need to protect marine ecosystems, and to achieve social and economic objectives in an open and planned way (UK, 2008) Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a public process of analyzing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives that usually have been specified through a political process. CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  6. Ecosystem-Based Management • Integrates ecological, social, and economic goals and recognizes humans as key components of the ecosystem. • Considers ecological and political boundaries • Engages multiple stakeholders in a collaborative process to define problems and find solutions CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  7. Law 2006-436 of April, 14th 2006 • => What is a Marine Protected Area in France… • Marine Nature Park • Maritime area of a National Park • Maritime area of Nature Reserve • Maritime Area of Natura 2000 sites • - Special Protection Areas (Birds EU Directive) • - Special Areas of Conservation (Habitats EU Directive) CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  8. One strategy • Adopted by the Government the 20th of November 2007 • Technical contribution / report / work from the Agency to identify the issues and the efficient MPA to respond to these issues: only proposals… CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  9. One of the very first targets of the National Strategy: creating 10 Marine Nature Parks by 2012 Goal: Knowledge and protection of the marine environment & Sustainable development of human activities Criteria and targets: Large space, great natural heritage and ecosystems, multi-activity and conflicts Principle: No regulation, no interdiction when NMP is created Governance Stakeholder involvement Local authorities and representative organizations Management guidelines CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  10. Stakeholders participation/contribution Ecosystem-Based Management Approach within the French strategy of the Marine Protected Areas Agency to identify MPA’s proposals and the main inputs of this methodology for global tools Data set from literature and bilateral meetings amongst scientists, NGO’s, representative stakeholders, local communities, politics Mapping process from three key-themes Interpretation Stakes Ecosystems Synthesis map Stakes Stakes Stakes Study area CAML Workshop VIllefranche s/mer, May 2010

  22. In conclusion…the French MPA strategy aims to: • Create the dynamics for cooperation to stretch beyond the sector-based approach • Launch a decision-making process involving all stakeholders in order to establish a shared investigation of the stakes in ecologically and biologically significant areas.
