This document summarizes key lessons from experiences with cross-border maritime spatial planning in Europe. It discusses that cross-border MSP requires (1) a clear process defined, (2) transparency in planning, and (3) use of geo-spatial tools. For the process to work, there needs to be common objectives, synchronization of planning cycles, and a common language developed between countries. Science also needs to be relevant by providing multi-disciplinary analyses, assessing cumulative impacts, and using interactive spatial tools. The overall challenges are how to approach MSP across borders and ensuring the scientific input is useful for the planning process.

- There are numerous countries around the North Sea already involved in MSP at national level (NL, B, UK, GER), Denmark is in the phase of exploring options for MSP. Norway (non-EU) has not (yet) developed an MSP for the their part of the North Sea (but have for the Barents Sea). EC 10 key principles largely being followedOSPAR is the North Sea “sister organization” of HELCOM. But OSPAR is far less visible in the domain of MSP and has (so far) not played a major role in developing the MASPNOSE project or cross-border MSP in the North Sea. Challenge: how can cross-border aspects be included in the MSP.
- Two case studies in MASPNOSEDogger Bank: real decisionmaking process for international fisheries management and nature conservation. Not “full MSP” but important lessons on cross-border spatial management (relevant for e.g. MSFD). Countries involved: UK, NL, GER, DK. MASPNOSE facilitated the stakeholder involvement process. Thornton Bank: pre-planning MSP exercise between B and NL. South of North Sea. MASPNOSE facilitated the government pre-planning process.
- The intergovernmental Dogger Bank Steering Group (DBSG) aims to develop an international management plan for nature and fisheries within the Natura 2000 framework. The DBSG invited the North Sea Regional Advisory Council (NSRAC) to write a position paper. MASPNOSE facilitated the NSRAC stakeholder process. Real process! The main conclusions from the evaluation of the case study are: Need for a clear mandate for decisionmaking. The mandate for decision-making in the Dogger Bank Steering Group (DBSG) was fuzzy. Agreed objectives. Representatives of Member States in the DBSG did not agree on the objectives for the area. They tried to solve the issue by asking the NSRAC to come up with management proposals. The NSRAC members were not able to solve the issue due to remaining differences of opinion. Dogger Bank decisionmaking process was unclear: steps, deadlines, responsibilities not clearly described. MASPNOSE facilitated the NSRAC process. This required expertise on content and process design. This was needed to build trust and to develop learning between stakeholders. Should have been part of the overall decisionmaking process. Unclear how stakeholder processes for international MSP would be financially supported. The use of geo-spatial tools (e.g. map-tables) to develop mutual learning and share (sensitive) information.
- The Thornton Bank case study involved governmental stakeholders from Belgium and The Netherlands. The case study focussed on the wider Thornton Bank and the Borssele zone in the southern part of the North Sea. Informal contacts highly valued.Main conclusions from the evaluation of the case study:Common objectives for the Thornton Bank area: economic scenario for renewable energy with environmental benefitsCross-border consultations requires the synchronizing of planning cycles Invest in the development of a common language. Example: “monitoring” means different things in NL and B.More detailed on the two case studies are available on the posters.
- 2. Maritime Spatial Planning requires a clear process with identified steps, deliverables and quality assurance. In a cross-border context, these requirements are even more pronounced. Specific challenge: organisation of cross-border stakeholder involvement due to a different stakeholder practice, legal constraints and policy constraints;In the Thornton Bank case study, governmental stakeholders came together for the first time and entered into a pre-planning mode where confidence between government participants was developed and an outline of a potential cross-border planning activity was discussed. MASPNOSE contributed to the improved informal and formal contacts between key policy developersThe Dogger Bank case study was largely built on the involvement of private stakeholders (fisheries organizations, NGOs) but within a setting of international decision-making by member states. The decision-making process did not involve a clear process with steps, deliverables and quality assurance. The informal phase between representatives of members states appeared to have remained important during the course of the decision-making process. However, the case study is also an example of how an effective stakeholder involvement process could be organized by working with a process script that specifies the objectives, roles and responsibilities.
- 3. Effective stakeholder involvement in MSP requires a differentiation between frontstage and backstage transparency. Frontstage transparency to the general public on the objectives of the process, who are involved and what stage it is in. Backstage transparency is limited to the directly involved stakeholder groups and is used to share information for building trust and joint learning among stakeholders. In the Dogger Bank case study, the NSRAC private stakeholders were fully transparent over the process (frontstage) and internally transparent between the participants (backstage) in developing alternative scenarios. Trust plays an important role in the cross-border cooperation and in the cooperation between national stakeholders with different interests. Transparency can have a negative effect on the trust-building process when information is shared that should not have been shared. Therefore it is important to distinguish between front stage transparency (to the entire public) and backstage transparency (to a selected group of stakeholders). In the Thornton Bank case study, member states' policy makers preferred to come to agreement on a pre-planning phase without involving (private) stakeholders. Thus the overall (frontstage) transparency of the process was low. However, the internal (backstage) transparency was much higher.
- 4. The Dogger Bank case study has shown that geospatial analyses have an important role in MSP. The use of interactive geospatial tools has proved very productive for stakeholder involvement in MSP (joint fact finding). The MASPNOSE facilitators of the NSRAC stakeholder process have used geospatial tools to develop a common understanding of the current situation and the potential future directions. The use of "map-tables" that allow for interactive sharing and developing of information has been very instrumental in reaching common positions and highlighting the key areas of agreement and disagreement. By focussing on the geo-spatial tools, the discussions between stakeholders were largely confined to data and knowledge issues instead of value and interest issues. So far, geo-spatial tools have focussed on current conditions and future scenariosThe analysis of potential effects of measures (including cumulative effects) is a required development
- 5. Monitoring and Evaluation of an MSP process needs to be defined at the beginning of the process as part of a Quality Assurance programme. I am not sure it will allow this type of process design monitoring, but who knows. Monitoring and evaluation in the context of MSP has two distinct meanings. In one meaning this refers to the monitoring and evaluation of the "system" developments after an maritime spatial plan and associated measures have been agreed and implemented. So this trying to keep an eye to the developments in e.g. the habitats, specific species, economic or social aspects. This is “system monitoring”In the second meaning, monitoring and evaluation refers to the quality control of the process of planning. In this meaning the key focus is on the different steps in the planning process and how they have been completed: e.g. has the legal basis been established, have stakeholders been involved in the initial planning phase etc. This is “process monitoring”The process monitoring should ideally be carried out by experts who are not involved in the content of the MSP process. The MASPNOSE Initial Assessment has shown that Monitoring and Evaluation is currently not always an explicit part of MSP processes in the Member States involved in this preparatory action. Cross-border MSP processes poses specific challenges because of the potentially different phases in the policy cycle in different Member States.
