10. Trainning for marine planners: Present and
future needs
Giliian Glegg
2014,
CHALLENGES:
 Engaging all different relevant parties –
STAKEHOLDERS
 Assimilation of existing management rules (
sector/existing coastal land uses plans)
 Integrating Science and policy on Decsion
Making

11. Thesis themes - EMMCMSP
 Main General Themes:
 -How to define explicit SPATIAL objectives?
 -Better, operational, affordable, dynamic, MAPPING tools/solutions?
 - Innovation: MODELS and extrapolation methods and proxy
parameters (overcome data gaps)?
 -SCALES dynamics: Scales of available data, jurisdictions, Ecosystems?
 - Innovation: efficient /operational STAKEHOLDERS participation
methods?
 Specific Themes:
 -The role of citizen Science and Social Networks?
 -Integration of Strategic and Spatial Planning?
 -Land/Sea planning issues integration
 -Assessment and Evaluation
 -EIA and SEA
 -EBM and Cumulative Impacts
 -Governance: Transboundary – Role of RSC
 -Underwater Cultural Heritage
 -Uses, Conflicts and Co allocation

22. CONCLUSION
Several themes are a general concern for actual and future
Research:
EBM,
Planning Process adaptation to tailored solutions,
Uses Co allocation and conflict solving
Scales, Decsion Making,
Stakeholders participation,
Transboundary processes,
Assessment, …
But diferentt needs within
GEOGRAPHY….
and diferente stages of the PROCESS…
