The concept of multi-use the sea has gained popularity in recent years as a result ocean space (coastal areas and regions with relatively small particular) becoming increasingly crowded due to development maritime economy. Competing claims for can be source conflict, however this may also lead mutual benefits different users when sustainable combinations are sought. Despite increasing European-wide efforts, on-the-ground knowledge practice still limited. Therefore, aim investigating...
Abstract DESYRE (DEcision Support sYstem for the REqualification of contaminated sites) is a GIS‐based decision support system (DSS) specifically developed to address integrated management and remediation megasites (i.e., large areas or impacted characterized by multiple site owners stakeholders). In conceptual design development main aspects pertaining process—analysis social economic benefits constrains, characterization, risk assessment, selection best available technologies, creation...
Science-policy-society interfaces (SPSI) are defined as social processes that encompass relations between scientists and other actors in the policy process, allowing for exchange, co-evolution, joint construction of knowledge to enrich decision-making (Van Den Hove, 2007). When optimal, SPSIs support sound formulation, implementation, adaptation processes, can help address different challenges, such incomplete knowledge, unpredictability, uncertainty, ambiguity. In this way, improve...
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) has been identified as a key enabler of maritime European Green Deal (EGD) (Van de Burg et al., 2021, Bocci al. 2024 ). Building on recent advances in policy alignment across Europe (e.g., CrossGov, MSP-GREEN, PermaGov), the MEDIGREEN project—Mediterranean Approach Towards MSP—proposes framework to implement EGD Mediterranean. This project adopts practical approach address four core marine activities (offshore renewable energy, fisheries, aquaculture, and...
A policy coherence evaluation framework: supporting sustainable ocean governance and the European Green DealCoherent marine policies are crucial for protection of our oceans progress toward multiple targets, such as those established in Deal. As many environmental challenges pressures interconnected, there is a need approaches that overcome shared barriers to management, leverage synergies towards joint action, identify opportunities cooperation across areas sectors. Over several decades,...
Sustainable ocean management requires integrated approaches that balance the use and conservation of marine resources while addressing challenges climate change growing human pressures. It involves integrating diverse perspectives from science, policy, industry, local communities, public. While recent emergence Digital Twins Ocean (DTO) offers a transformative opportunity to improve science-driven decision-making promote sustainable management, realizing their full potential development...
In September 2024, Italy approved its first National Maritime Spatial Plans (MS Plans). By adopting a multi-scalar approach, coastal regional authorities were empowered to develop proactively their MSP strategy within the broader national framework. Despite this relevant progress, challenges emerged regarding participation of local stakeholders, sparking debate about extent which planning cycle effectively engaged with actors at scale.To respond such challenge, REGINA-MSP (Regions boost...
This paper examines the concept of maritime multi-use as a territorial/SPATIAL governance instrument for enhancement sustainable development in five EU sea basins. Multi-use (MU) is expected to enhance productivity blue economy sectors, well deliver additional socio-economic benefits related environmental and social dimensions development. The provides definition identifies multi-uses with highest potential In each basin, plays different role concerns For Eastern Baltic Sea, Mediterranean...
The Italian coastal and marine space includes areas with remarkable differences in terms of oceanographic characteristics, maritime uses, natural habitats, species distribution, landscape cultural heritage. In Italy, management competencies are shared among national, regional, for some aspects even local authorities. This geographic heterogeneity governance complexity required the adoption a multi-scalar approach to Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). Such an aims at implementing...
The Lagoon of Marano and Grado has been experiencing some remarkable environmental impacts, which have affected the high-value natural ecosystem consequently influenced relevant socio-economic aspects. One main problems relates to diffuse contamination soil groundwater in mainland, as well sediments rivers lagoon itself. need ensure safe navigation conditions Corno River serving Porto Nogaro harbour is another critical emergency. Other issues concern are: loss morphological diversity,...
Climate change is widely recognised as a serious threat to the worlds environment. The Mediterranean basin considered unique scaled down model assess severity of potential climate impacts on coastal zones. paper examines regional differences in vulnerability zones from existing studies and projections for future. objective work within uncertainty constraints associated with local quantitative impact assessments order provide complete picture also identify possible response measures.
