Ecosystem-based marine spatial planning assessment tool video tutorial
<p><span>Aiming at promoting the capacity building of competent authorities, scientists and consultants, a novel tool is proposed for assessing the alignment of marine spatial planning processes with ecosystem-based approach principles and to guide its operationalization.</span></p> <p><span>The EB-MSP assessment tool is developed with the ambition of providing a fit-for-purpose tool to overcome the ecosystem-based marine spatial planning implementation barriers reported by experts and managers.</span></p> <p><span>The EB-MSP assessment tool is designed to apply to any spatial plan, regardless of its stage of development: assessment of existing plans, plans in progress; or different national plans in a transboundary region.</span></p> <p><span>The EB-MSP tool can be accessed at https://aztidata.es/EB-MSP</span></p> <p><span>The EB-MSP assessment tool leads users through a step-by-step procedure for evaluating a specific plan.</span></p> <p><span>Upon first access, the user must register. This way, the users can conduct multiple assessments in a single session or different sessions, and can retrieve the information from previous sessions.</span></p> <p><span>The evaluation can be conducted by documenting the actions adopted during the planning process stages, or by examining how ecosystem-based marine spatial planning cross-cutting topics, have been incorporated into the plan.</span></p> <p><span>The user has to provide information about 130 statements that reflect the actions or tasks adopted during the planning process.</span></p> <p><span>For each action, six complementary fields of information have to be provided by the user:</span></p> <ol> <li><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>the degree of implementation of the action; </span></li> <li><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>the relevance of the action for the assessed planning site; </span></li> <li><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>the main source of knowledge base supporting the action; </span></li> <li><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>the respondent's confidence; </span></li> <li><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>approaches, tools and methods implemented; and </span></li> <li><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>justification of the responses</span></li> </ol> <p><span>Once the assessment is performed, the results are displayed as dynamic graphs that can be downloaded.</span></p> <p><span>The responses are also stored in a table, which can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet.</span></p>
Combining seascape connectivity with cumulative impact assessment in support of ecosystem-based marine spatial planning
<p>1. Cumulative impact assessment (CIA) is a promising approach to guide marine spatial planning (MSP) and management. One limitation of CIA is the neglect of seascape connectivity, which may spread the impact of localised pressures to ambient areas, e.g. through lost dispersal and recruitment of organisms.</p> <p>2. We here, for the first time, incorporate seascape connectivity into a traditional CIA model using a connectivity matrix, exemplified by dispersal of propagules estimated through biophysical modelling. Two <i>connectivity impacts</i>are identified: the <i>source impact</i> represents downstream areas losing recruits because of reduced larval dispersal from sites affected by the pressure, and the <i>sink impact</i> represents loss of recruits originating from upstream areas prevented from settlement in the site affected by the local pressure.</p> <p>3. By including seascape connectivity into the Swedish MSP-guiding CIA tool Symphony we demonstrate how to practically account for remote effects of local environmental impact. Our example on blue mussel shows how reducing mussel fitness in a given area may have impacts on mussels far from the acting pressures. Overall, results indicate that connectivity impact for blue mussels plays a minor role in most areas, less than 10% of the ordinary cumulative impact. However, in some smaller areas, e.g. on offshore banks and the Danish Straits, seascape connectivity may increase ordinary cumulative impact with 20-30%. In an example of scenario-based CIA analyses of MSP projections, we demonstrate how impacts of particular management actions, e.g. shipping rerouting and wind power developments, can be tracked far from the original area of influence.</p> <p>4. Depending on the dispersal ability of ecosystem components, a local pressure may impact a considerable area through seascape connectivity, transgressing management units and national borders. Although the mean connectivity impact may be modest for a single ecosystem component, the consideration of seascape connectivity across multiple ecosystem components may significantly alter the mapping of cumulative impact and the assessment of different MSP scenarios.</p> <p>5.
