Start year 2012 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 916,930 Website http://www.partiseapate.eu/ Summary MSP is a new policy instrument. Relatively little practical experience and examples existed on how to satisfy all the requirements necessary to achieve a sustainable MSP: land-sea integration, transnational consultation, ecosystem based approach, stakeholder participation. Therefore, the responsible bodies for MSP throughout the Baltic Sea Region joined forces within the project PartiSEApate in order to develop a pan-Baltic approach to those topics whose spatial dimension transcends national borders and to develop a concept for an MSP institutional framework and governance model which shall provide input to policy decisions. PartiSEApate tested and developed instruments and models for how such MSP multi-level governance mechanisms can be realized in the BSR within: 1) An MSP Expert Group consisting of experts nominated by the project partner countries, other BSR countries, VASAB and HELCOM; 2) Three pilot case areas: the Pomeranian Bight (SE, DE, PL), the Lithuanian Sea (LT, LV, SE, RU), and the Middle Bank (SE, PL); A transnational stakeholder involvement process focused around cross-sectoral dialogues, during which synergies and conflicts were identified and proposals for future MSP and pan-Baltic level governance processes were developed.
