TOWARD SECTORAL STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT IN A PAN-BALTIC MSP DIALOGUE

Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2015, Vol 30, Issue 1

Abstract

Stakeholder involvement is commonly understood as a key principle in marine or maritime spatial planning (MSP). Little information is available, however, on how to organise stakeholder involvement at a transnational level and how to instigate an MSP dialogue within sea basins. This article reports on a study conducted as part of the PartiSEApate project (2012-2014) that focused on identifying relevant sectoral representatives and their willingness to become involved in a pan-Baltic MSP dialogue. Results show that sectors are variously organised at the trans-boundary level and have differing views of MSP. Insufficient understanding of the potential benefits to be gained from MSP is revealed, especially the added benefits of a trans-boundary sectoral perspective for inclusion in MSP. The lack of suitable trans-boundary organisations and platforms makes organising a pan-Baltic MSP dialogue more difficult. Additional awareness-raising and a more coherent message on the purpose and application of MSP on the part of marine planners and stakeholders are needed. <br/><br/>
