ESE3 - Nature-inclusive operation of blue economy sectors#
Description#
Complementary and as supporting material to the trade-off methos, ESE3 provides a non-exhaustive list of effective management practices tailored to some key maritime sectors: fishery, tourism, aquaculture, marine non-living resource extraction, renewable energy. This list aims to inform the activity of sectors inside and/or near MPs, providing knowledge base to understand interactions and possible impacts, as well as examples of good management practices for uptake by some key sectors operating within or in the vicinity of MPAs. The practices showcase actions that embody a balanced and sustainable approach to the blue economy and may serve as a guide to fostering responsible and sustainable practices that support both economic interests and environmental conservation. For each sector a factsheet is provided, including crucial information such as essential sector characteristics, a detailed list of sector-specific activities, a Sankey diagram to visualize sectors, pressures, and impacted ecosystem services hierarchically, and brief insights into exemplary management practices.
