We entered to the final month of the MSP4BIO project, so we would like to share some reflections on our Final Event, along with some key insights and outcomes from the past three years.
MEDIGREEN & NESBp Workshops 01-02 July
The Blue Week kicked of with internal workshops from the MEDIGREEN and NESB project who then joined the first day of the MSP4BIO Final Event focusing on Cross-fertilisation and knowledge transfer. A great opportunity to reflect on synergies and build on partnerships.
MSP4BIO Final Event, 02-04 July
- Closing the MSP4BIO chapter with lasting Impact
In the first week of July, Venice brought together marine planners, policymakers, researchers, and sister projects for three days of collaboration, validation, and future planning during the MSP4BIO Final Event. From cross-project exchanges, validation sessions and interactive workshops to strategy sessions on long-term uptake, the event marked a major milestone in biodiversity mainstreaming within Maritime Spatial Planning.
- Key Takeaways include:
1) Strong collaboration across projects is vital to harmonize methodologies and maximize impact.
2) Building trust with stakeholders fosters inclusive, transparent, and long-term planning efforts.
3) Achieving policy coherence across sectors and jurisdictions is indispensable for meaningful change.
4) Embracing ecosystem-based approaches ensures that maritime spatial planning supports both biodiversity conservation and human well-being.
