Description

Description (EN):

The common challenge of the programme area is related to environmental protection, with special emphasis on how to develop cross border cooperation strategies on water landscapes. The programme area is missing common models, developed according to EU standards, for the safeguard and sustainable use of local biodiversity and marine and inland water landscapes. The BLUE LAND overall objective is to define, develop and implement a participatory and ecosystem-based model for the protection and safeguard of marine and coastal resources, habitats, biodiversity and ESs that could represent a form of management comparable to that of a Marine Protected Area (MPA), with the added benefit of broad ownership of the goals within the local community and lighter procedure in the recognition and implementation of management policies. The main outputs are:A common, replicable model for participatory and ecosystem-based management of biodiversity and ESs in the BLs with an established cross border BL Implementation Group;Characterization and mapping of 3 ESs , and 3 environmental and socioeconomic tabular and spatial databases;IT tools for supporting data collection, monitoring and sharing;3 functioning BLs for the protection of biodiversity, safeguard and sustainable use of the related ESs.BL partners, cooperatives, fishermen associations, local PA, citizens and all relevant local stakeholders will benefit from the outputs achieved. The project represents a new approach to the management and governance of marine and coastal resources, so as to foster mechanisms for the involvement of local communities in biodiversity protection. The added value of cross border cooperation will be mainly linked to the teamwork and the contribution of each partner to the shared definition of plans and the application of methodologies.

Expected Results (EN): Common Plans enhancing and safeguarding water landscapes (including marine ones).

Expected Outputs (EN):

The Project expected results are: - New cross border participatory governance model adopted for the management and safeguard of marine and coastal biodiversity and the associated ESs. - Stakeholders’ knowledge, common data management and monitoring capacities on biodiversity and ecosystem services improved. - 3 BLs are set up and become effective conservation and development units as the 3 plans are prepared, the first management actions are implemented and the public is actively involved. The Project aims at setting up a common cross border, participatory and ecosystem-based management model for the protection of marine and coastal areas, producing 3 shared conservation, monitoring and management plans in the three Project target areas, thus directly contributing to the Programme result indicator “Common Plans enhancing and safeguarding water landscapes, including marine ones”.
