MESMA

MESMA – Monitoring and Evaluation of Spatially Managed Areas – is an EU FP7 project. The project focuses on marine spatial planning and aims to produce integrated management tools (concepts, models and guidelines) for Monitoring, Evaluation and implementation of Spatially Managed marine Areas, based on European collaboration.

MESMA is expected to supply innovative methods and integrated strategies for governments, local authorities, stakeholders, and other managerial bodies for planning and decision making at different local, national, and European scales, for sustainable development of European seas.

The management tools developed within MESMA are being tested and evaluated in nine case studies spread out all over Europe (see map). AquaBiota is one of the project’s 21 partners and we are case study leaders for the Baltic Sea.

Further information about MESMA can be found at the project’s web site www.mesma.org

   MESMA has nine case studies spread out all over Europe.
