Produced in the framework of the MarinePlan project, a tool has been developed to assess the alignment of planning processes with ecosystem-based management principles: the EB-MSP Assessment tool. The tool aims to promote the capacity building of competent authorities, scientists and consultants, and consists of 130 statements related to actions that should be adopted during the planning process.
The EB-MSP Assessment tool is designed to be applicable to any spatial plan, regardless of its stage of development, providing valuable lessons for the development of the plans, their future revisions and adaptive management.
