MSP4BIO

Project Outline

Improved Science-Based Maritime Spatial Planning to Safeguard and Restore Biodiversity in a coherent European MPA network.

MSP4BIO develops and demonstrates the ways in which knowledge-based Marine Spatial Planning becomes a vehicle and a tool for the protection and recovery of marine ecosystems. It engages MSP planners and MPA managers to develop an integrated flexible socio-ecological management and validate its concrete applicability in 6 pilot sites in 5 European Sea Basins.
