SLIDE 2

Aspirations for a Blue Economy? A Moving Equilibrium? Policy Catch-up?

SLIDE 3

Why a Marine Planning approach for the Blue Economy?

1.Context: Land – Coast - Sea : Ecosystemic thinking 2.Social-ecological resilience – an integrated policy approach 3.Fragmented regulatory regime - Water Framework Directive; Integrated Coastal Zone Management; Maritime Directive; separate marine planning systems 4.Defining Marine Spatial Planning and the Blue Economy 5.Towards an all-island perspective for a sustainable blue economy?

A Blue Economy?

Land – Coastal – Sea : Pressures Land Coast Marine / Maritime

Demand for energy Waste management Demand for food Demand for employment and economic development Community values (‘fixed’ resident, visitor, future…) Supporting infrastructure Development management Sensitive interface Supporting infrastructure Development management Job creation; skills; housing, etc; R&D; maintenance; support; “interface” Identity; sense of place; intrinsic – local / regional; regeneration Offshore energy Offshore renewable – wind, tidal, wave (fuel security)… Offshore food production Fishing; aquaculture… Tourism; industrial; transport; engineering; safety; tourism… Fishing (etc) communities; “footloose” communities (eg investors; developers…)

A Dynamic Context?

Land – Coast – Sea : Challenges and Opportunities Land Coast Marine / Maritime

Flooding Engineering – critical infrastructure Social / demographic change Relative economic performance Ecosystems (positive and negative) Erosion Resilience Variegated coastal communities – flourishing Diverse economic impacts – the resort cycle? Ecosystems (positive and negative) Dynamic - international Resilience Common property Economic potential – competition and contestation Ecosystems (positive and negative)
