Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) for the North Sea

Closed

Code: 33829 | Identifier Code: EMFAF-2024-PIA-MSP | Programme name: 13524 | Start submission calls: 07/05/2024 | End submission calls: 11/06/2024

The objective of this call for proposals is to facilitate the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning in the EU, including through the effective application of Directive 2014/89 establishing a framework for MSP.

This call is intended to fund projects developing innovative responses to tackle specific challenges that EU Members tates might encounter when putting into effect, monitoring and/or revising their maritime spatial plans.

Many of these challenges are common to coastal Member States. Therefore, there is a shared interest in developing innovative responses that can apply within a sea basin and/or across sea basins. This means that projects should bring together participants from different Member States, located in a sea basin, or from different sea basins.

To meet these challenges Member States will have to:

• Reflect and align their maritime spatial plans to the ambition of the European Green Deal
• Cater for cumulative impacts of ocean stressors
• Reinforce the sea basin dimension of MSP
• Making MSP digital and pan-European
