CROSS-CUTTING ANALYSIS

Cross-cutting analysis

7

• EUSAIR as an opportunity • Focus on the planning hotspots but adopt a truly regional

approach • Develop clear guidelines for the application of the

ecosystem approach in MSP • Identify specific spatial measures that could lead to more

sustainable MSPs (PSSAs, FRAs) • Bridge the data gaps • Improve engagement with the private sector and

promote sustainable investments. • Improve coordination among different actors and

stakeholders (avoid duplication and increase synergies)
