Start year 2015 End year 2017 Funding (€) € 1,811,520 Website https://www.msp-platform.eu/projects/supporting-implementation-maritime-spatial-planning-celtic-seas Summary SIMCelt aims to support the implementation of the MSP Directive by Member States (MS) within the Celtic Seas (Key Objective 1), and to contribute to supporting cross-border cooperation between MS in relation to implementation of the MSP Directive (Key Objective 2).
The use of any output/outcomes of the project will be decided by individual Member States (MS) as determination of any approach to maritime spatial planning lies with MS for their respective marine areas.
To inform awareness and understanding of the range of factors potentially impacting on the marine area, their potential cumulative impact and projected future trends Building on existing mechanisms, to identify opportunity for data sharing and
joint use of data (within the context of transboundary arias) To identify and address data gaps and support the coherence of data analysis across marine area boundaries To examine the potential impact and interaction of sectoral activities To explore the potential spatial requirements for marine conservation To examine the challenges to, and opportunities for, transboundary cooperation on MSP
