🇪🇬That’s a wrap on our first #MSP training of the year 🎉 Thanks to all participants for your engagement, especially during the hands-on #MSPChallenge, a strategy game about the complex dynamics of marine-related activities and planning: #PROBLUE_Ocean

🌊How do you design the #MarineSpatialPlanning process? This and more questions such as on inclusive and participatory MSP and data assessments were are at the core of the first day of our training in Egypt with #PROBLUE_Ocean

🇪🇬Today #MSPglobal and #PROBLUE_Ocean will be facilitating a training in collaboration with @PERSGA_media to develop capacities for implementing an MSP pilot in Egypt.

🇹🇭Today, #MSPglobal is facilitating the co-development of a National MSP Action Plan in Thailand together with @IocUnesco Sub-Commission #WESTPAC and @DMCRTH ➡️Building on the first workshop which drove the implementation of the new MSPglobal Rapid Assessment Methodology

🌊The #MSPglobal team will lead session 4 of the 3rd International Ocean Data Conference 👉and address #MarineSpatialPlanning 📝Sumbit your abstract by 24 Jan 2025! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

📩[NEWSLETTER] A new issue of the #MSPglobal newsletter is now available covering the highlights of the past 6 months ➡️ Don’t miss out on this edition as we are sharing something special at the very end 🤭 @IocUnesco @EU_MARE

🛰️Yesterday, #MSPglobal and @GOOSocean were joined by experts in #OceanObservation for a second workshop to discuss the development of a user-friendly data toolbox for MSP practitioners. Learn more about the workshop and the publication here➡️

💫As the year comes to an end, we want to share with you this inspiring poem by Suharyanto, Director of #MSP in Indonesia at @ditprlkkp - and invite you to reflect on your MSP goals for the coming year🎯 ➡️

[NEW PUBLICATION] The report of the 6th International #MSPforum in Bali is out 🚀 Download it here: You will find a summary of each session and all relevant key messages💡

🌊The 6th International #MSPforum in Bali this year brought together MSP experts from around the world. Listen to some of their impressions here ➡️

🪸@Europe_MPA uses @OBISNetwork data to support the prioritisation mapping of the best areas to establish marine protected areas in Europe. If you’re involved in #MPA and #MSP, register now for their key event next year ➡️

🛰Integrating #OceanObservation data into the MSP process is crucial. ➡️Read how Germany leverages ocean observation data for offshore wind energy development: @GOOSocean

🪸@OBISNetwork collects data on marine biodiversity into a central database that is quality-controlled, interoperable, and freely accessible to everyone. This can, for example, help #MSP practitioners identify conservation areas. Watch to learn more ▶️

2/🪸@GOOSocean observing system revolves around essential ocean variables which help asses our ocean’s biodiversity and ecosystems which is key to designing future scenarios in #MSP. More about #EOV ➡️

🪸During #COP16, @GOOSocean and @OBISNetwork were recognised as key ocean components of the upcoming Global Biodiversity Observing System (GBIOS) that will support the implementation and reporting of GBF targets, such as Target 1 on ‘biodiversity inclusive spatial planning’⬇️

🛰️Today, #MSPglobal and @GOOSocean are joined by experts in #OceanObservation to showcase current technologies, available datasets and real-world examples while addressing the key aspects of ocean observation integration for MSP.

🚢4/Another thematic pillar of the #MSProadmap is the sustainable blue economy. MSP is expected to build the basis for achieving SBE strategies such as using ocean resources sustainably for socio-economic improvement while preserving a healthy ocean.
