Supporting a Regional Policy Dialogue on Climate Action and Integrated Maritime Policy / Blue Economy What has changed?

Growing awareness of maritime issues

More and more people live close to the seaMore and more activities extend to maritime zonesEnergy, minerals, farming, networks, leisure…

No globalisation without maritime activities…Cheap and safe transport, internet…

Change is global, the Ocean is central New threats (climate, biodiversity), new risks, new hopes…

Maritime issues are now global issues Need to address them in a strategic way, through policies

Open and deep Ocean is now accessible…As well as Ocean resources


Supporting a Regional Policy Dialogue on Climate Action and Integrated Maritime Policy / Blue Economy Ocean: growing need for policy, beyond regulation

Independent local and individual maritime activities

Large scale strategies brought by economic sectors or organisations

Sectoral regulation by States

Need to ensure:-  Sound management of marine

resources-  Environmental integration (ecosystem

based management)-  Exercise by coastal States of their

rights and obligations-  Optimal valorisation of commons

a set of high level general interest objectives, shared by all stakeholders (willing or not...), implemented through a consistent set of actions by public stakeholders and regulations of privates activities.

POLICY

Globalization of maritime issues, including environmental impacts

International framework for regulation/policies (UNCLOS, IMO, FAO)

No regulation or policy (“Freedom of the Sea”)

Situation Response: regulation/policy

Some cross-sectoral interactions Minimum regulation (operational) (nat/internat)

Are sectoral policies sufficient ???

NB: many sectoral maritime policies are just regulatory frameworks : policy still mainly a regulatory response to private initiatives. No vision.

Cost of non-integration Potential benefits from integration

Conflicts: for space, resources

Risks

Overexploitation of marine resources

Growing cumulated pressures

Tensions and disputes

Misuse of financial and human resources

Double countings

Poor management

Lack of visibility of marine/maritime issues

Better allocation/distribution

Reduced risks

Sustainable use of resources

Good Environmental State

Stronger and more effective regulation

Cooperation and synergies

Pooling of resources

Stronger influence at decision level

Environment not represented

Inacceptable cumulative impacts

Growing conflicts, no solution

Unsustainable exploitation of natural resources Man-made risks for environment

Economic cost of conflicts (space, resources) Unsustainable sectors (unsustainable resources)

Scattered visions from local to global

Coordinated visions between sectors

Pooling of resources, data shared Long term investment possible

Uncertainties (law, context) bad for investment Ocean exploitation very capitalistic, no pooling

Reduction and better control of risks

Innovation supported

Improved and shared knowledge of environment

Less conflicts Better distribution of added value

Consistent environmental management

Market solutions inefficient to solve conflicts

Unfair distribution of added value


Supporting a Regional Policy Dialogue on Climate Action and Integrated Maritime Policy / Blue Economy Problems What IMP can bring

Competition for space Strategic planning, operational planning, coordinated surveillance, arbitration processes

Competition for resources (e.g. fish)

Strategic planning, ecosystemic management, quotas, coordinated

More risks Long term vision, secure investments

Cost of infrastructures and services (SAR, metoc, COM, monitoring networks...)

Sharing of costs between sectors, between countries

Regulations not consistent Between sectors : cross-sectoral dialogue Between countries: consistent regulations cross-borders

Enforcement Pool equipment, information between administrations

Growing environmental pressures Limit cumulative impacts on ecosystems, improve application of polluter-payer principle (land-based pollutions)

Potential benefits for maritime sectors


Facility for Regional Policy Dialogue on Integrated Maritime Policy / Climate Change

The EU Integrated Maritime Policy seeks to provide a more coherent approach to maritime issues, with increased coordination between different policy areas. It focuses on: •  Issues that do not fall under a single sector-

based policy Ø  e.g. "blue growth" (economic growth

based on different maritime sectors). •  Issues that require the coordination of different

sectors and actors e.g. marine knowledge. Specifically it covers these cross-cutting policies:

Ø  Blue growth Ø  Marine data and knowledge Ø  Maritime spatial planning Ø  Integrated maritime surveillance Ø  Sea basin strategies

It seeks to coordinate, not to replace policies on specific maritime sectors.

The European Integrated Maritime Policy

NB: this approach is specific to the EU. IMP in the EU also includes

Member States maritime policies.

Ø  The « Blue Book » (2008) focuses on coordination, cross-

cutting issues and gaps



Blue economy: the economic pillar of IMP

Environment

SocialEconomy

Blue Economy aims to create sustainable JOBS and VALUE

BE provides to IMP specific objectives

and mechanisms

e.g. jobs, added value,

e.g. market tools, economic analysis and assessment

But BE builds on the common IMP framework

Blue Economy is not a new standalone concept, it is fully connected to the IMP approach

Common visionGovernance

Intersectoral mechanismsIntegrated instruments

Evaluation

BE provides the economic components of the visionBE uses the common governance schemes established by IMPIMP: non-market arbitration mechanisms between sectorsIMP: spatial planning, monitoring and surveillance, SEA...BE provides economic indicators and observatories



Blue Growth is one of the major components of EU IMP •  « Cross-cutting » policy •  It is the long term strategy to support sustainable growth in the marine and

maritime sectors as a whole. It is the maritime contribution to achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth

Three strands : •  Development of sectors that have a high potential for sustainable

jobs and growth Ø  For the EU : aquaculture, coastal tourism, marine biotechnology, Ocean energy,

seabed mining

•  Development of important cross-cutting components Ø  Marine knowledge, maritime spatial planning, integrated maritime surveillance

•  Sea-basin strategies to foster cooperation (incl. Mediterranean)

« Blue Growth »: Blue Economy within EU IMP



Within the EU IMP, the EU « Blue Growth » strategy adresses specific EU objectives:

•  « Cross-cutting » objectives •  Objectives requiring strong cooperation between EU Ms •  EU priorities for maritime development that are not fully covered by

other existing policies National Blue Economy policies may cover a wider scope, and adopt different objectives

•  Include sectoral maritime policies (e.g. transport, fisheries) •  Adopt different priorities

But they can build on the experience gained through EU BE and IMP •  Approaches, tools and instruments

And they should share some objectives (general and for the Mediterranean)

•  E.g. UN SDOs, environmental sustainability •  Mediterranean: environment, cooperation

EU «Blue Growth» strategy and national «Blue Economy »

Some questions

Assessing the current status of IMP in your countries

16



Is there a framework for IMP in your countries? Does it include:

•  A national vision of maritime issues with clearly defined objectives? •  Is it based on a foresighting/strategic approach, or mainly « Business As Usual »

based? •  Is it in line with overarching visions (UN, Mediterranean…)

•  A general governance framework? •  Well defined/develop sectoral policies? •  Adequate cross-cutting instruments?

•  E.g. planning, monitoring and surveillance, evaluation (indicators)

Is Blue Economy considered a promising field in your country? •  As a whole? •  For some sectors? Which ones?

Some questions…
