SIMAtlantic conference: Lessons from the European Atlantic for implementation of maritime spatial planning in transboundary contexts


The SIMAtlantic conference is a free-to-attend online event taking place on 15 September 2021. The aim of the conference is to share learning and best practice from the SIMAtlantic project and elsewhere around Europe, to assist in shaping future cooperation and coherence in maritime spatial planning (MSP).

Sessions are aimed at a wide audience from researchers to policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders, while including everyone who shares an interest in maritime spatial planning, particularly the benefits and challenges of transboundary working. Session topics include governance, data sharing and communication, ecosystem-based management, and land-sea interactions, all in the context of transboundary MSP.
