The common challenge of the programme area is related to environmental protection, with special emphasis on how to develop cross border cooperation strategies on water landscapes. The programme area is missing common models, developed according to EU standards, for the safeguard and sustainable use of local biodiversity and marine and inland water landscapes. The BLUE LAND overall objective is to define, develop and implement a participatory and ecosystem-based model for the protection and safeguard of marine and coastal resources, habitats, biodiversity and ESs that could represent a form of management comparable to that of a Marine Protected Area (MPA), with the added benefit of broad ownership of the goals within the local community and lighter procedure in the recognition and implementation of management policies. The main outputs are: A common, replicable model for participatory and ecosystem-based management of biodiversity and ESs in the BLs with an established cross border BL Implementation Group;Characterization and mapping of 3 ESs , and 3 environmental and socioeconomic tabular and spatial databases;IT tools for supporting data collection, monitoring and sharing;3 functioning BLs for the protection of biodiversity, safeguard and sustainable use of the related ESs.BL partners, cooperatives, fishermen associations, local PA, citizens and all relevant local stakeholders will benefit from the outputs achieved. The project represents a new approach to the management and governance of marine and coastal resources, so as to foster mechanisms for the involvement of local communities in biodiversity protection. The added value of cross border cooperation will be mainly linked to the teamwork and the contribution of each partner to the shared definition of plans and the application of methodologies.
