Biodiversity is crucial to sustainable marine management, and integrating it into Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is a top priority. In a new video, Kemal Pinarbasi from HELCOM shares how Work Package 6 (WP6) is working to ensure policy coherence, making sure biodiversity is central to MSP processes.
Policy Coherence and Science-Policy Dialogue
WP6 focuses on aligning various policies to create a unified approach that supports both biodiversity and sustainable marine use. This involves detailed policy coherence analysis to bridge gaps and reduce conflicts. Additionally, WP6 organizes science-policy dialogue think tanks, fostering collaboration between scientists and policymakers to ensure decisions are informed by the latest research.
