Large marine areas and regional seas present management challenges. They are often bordered by<br />
numerous maritime jurisdictions and host multi-sector activity under varying governance arrangements.<br />
Regional marine management involves a range of mechanisms and approaches to ensure<br />
stakeholders have an opportunity to engage in the process; and these approaches can differ in their<br />
legal and regulatory conditions. At present, no such comparable structures exist at the transnational<br />
level for the ecosystem-based management of the Celtic Sea. Against this backdrop, a pioneering<br />
project using a participative process, involving representatives from differing sectors of activity in<br />
the Celtic Sea spanning four Member States, was established to identify realistic and meaningful<br />
management principles in line with the goals of the EU’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive. This<br />
international partnership is working with a common objective – to support sustainability by creating<br />
practical guidelines to deliver an ecosystem approach to marine management in the Celtic Sea.<br />
