Start year 2017 End year 2018 Funding (€) € 2,500,000 Website http://www.msp-supreme.eu/ Summary SUPREME project involves public authorities in charge of MSP, as designated by the Governs of four MS (GR, HR, IT and SL), and the UNEP/MAP Barcelona Convention. SUPREME will focus on two key objectives, stated in the call for proposals: 1. To supporting the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning in EU Member States 2. To launch and carry out concrete and cross-border MSP initiative between Member States. SUPREME will address these two key objectives through a variety of tools and considering the ecosystem based approach. The Initial Assessment (C1.1) will include i) a basin scale analysis strongly MSP oriented ii) a region-wide coherence analysis, based on the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols iii) a conceptual methodology for transboundary MSP aspects. In order to develop a cooperation on MSP (C1.2), i) common objectives at sea level basin will be examined and ii) a mechanism for an operational networking will be proposed. For a specific Support for Member States' implementation of MSP (C1.3), a careful analysis and practical actions are foreseen on the following issues: i) Spatial demands for maritime sectors and related cumulative impacts (C1.3.1); ii) Data and information requirements for MSP (C1.3.2); iii) Tools and methods supporting MSP (C1.3.3); iv) Stakeholders involvement and participation (C1.3.4); v) Definition of the most appropriate geographical scale for MSP plans (C1.3.5); vi) Coordination of sectorial policies (C1.3.6); vii) Land – sea interactions and relationships with ICZM (C1.3.7). Five case-study areas will be considered and better focused at project inception. (C1.3.8): 1 Northern Adriatic; 2 Dubrovnik-Neretva County; 3 Slovenian coast 4 North-Eastern Ionian; #5 Aegean. Finally, specific criteria and indicators will be developed to evaluate the MSP process at different scales and at different stages (C 1.4). The Project will be addressed by a Steering Committee participated by the highest national Authorities and the EC (C2.1), while a Project Group will assure the technical coordination of the activities (C2.2). A Panel will be identified for having a direct involvement of major stakeholders (C2.3). The Coordinator will assure a correct management of the Project schedule, including reports (C2.4) and the communication flow (C2.5). A Communication Plan (CP) will be developed and it will be updated every 6 months (C3). Various diffusion activities are already foreseen. Some activities will be performed in co-operation with the twin West Med project, also for supporting a coherent “Mediterranean approach to MSP”.
