12. Main conclusions;
A stakeholder forum for the North Sea is desirable – the NSC was identified as having the experience and neutrality to co-ordinate this
Some stakeholders are unconvinced over the idea of a strategy – there is a need to quantify the added value and demonstrate benefits. To do this, we need to be more specific on what it should achieve and the activities it will cover.
Stakeholders worry about a lack of co-ordination of activities, meaning that their interests could be damaged/overlooked
Dialogue is as important as policies
Any strategy would need to look at land activities as well as sea
