What is EBM about?
•
Perceiving the big picture
•
Recognizing and maintaining connections
between habitats,
biodiversity and people
•
Addressing the multiple needs
and desires of people
What is MSP
•
What activities can we do where?
•
A tool to implement EBM– We can address the big picture– We can address connections– We can address multiple needs
The big picture
Ecosystem = habitat + biology + people
•
In marine systems everything is linked•
Taking into account these linkages is essential when we manage marine systems
The connections
•
There are patterns in the sea, not all the same
•
Patterns “play out”
spatially•
Organisms respond to those patterns
•
People “use the ocean”
in response to those patterns
The multiple needs
TNC’s

Action common MSP project themes
•
Integrating a diverse set of information
•

Ensuring stakeholder participation
•
Building capacity •
Linking science and policy

Ensuring stakeholder participation
• Stakeholder workshops• Community mapping• Community partnerships
Building capacity
•
Partnering with government and NGOs–
Workshops
–
EBM initiative
•
Engaging stakeholders –
Working with communities
•
Providing spatial management frameworks and tools
Linking science with policy
• TNC Policy staff in Jakarta• Inputs to management plans (national,
regional and local)• Technical support to management
agencies• Workshops attended by government
staff
Saint Kitts and Nevis
MSP for coastal waters of Saint Kitts and Nevis
Integrating information benthic mapping
Integrating information fisher surveys
Integrating information Expert mapping
Providing decision support
Ensuring stakeholder participation
• Steering committee meetings• Surveys• Workshops
– Visioning– Conflict matrix
Building capacity
•
Partnering with government and NGOs–
Overall project coordination–
Field surveys–
Steering committee
•
Engaging stakeholders –
Workshops–
Surveys
•
Providing spatial management frameworks and tools
Linking science with policy
• Relationships with government (MOU, steering committee, workshops)
• Policy review and recommendations• Engagement with OECS process
Opportunities and challenges
• Implementing outcomes of MSP process for sustainable ocean management
• Facilitating sustainable development in rapidly growing areas• Achieving sustainable development (with conservation at its
core) by implementing a multiple objectives MSP approach
Opportunities and challenges
• Implementing outcomes from MSP for sustainable ocean management
• Facilitating sustainable development in rapidly growing areas• Achieving sustainable development (with conservation at its core)
by implementing a multiple objectives MSP approach
• Data collection and monitoring programs adjusted for multi- objective MSP needs
• Integrating info and truly addressing multiple objectives• Maintaining dynamic information base• Representing future growth (and climate change)• Addressing scale issues (coastal vs offshore, biodiversity vs use
information)• Stakeholder participation in a multi-use world• Governance • Enforcement• Commitment to funding, sustainable financing,
The flavor of all of this is geography and culture dependent!
