The new French MPA Agency
- A new Public Establishment (law of 14th of April 2006)- In direct relation with the French Ministry of Environment- Some main missions :
Support public policies for both creating and managing MPA’s
Manage human and financial resources devoted to marine nature parks
Provide technical and administrative support to MPA managers
CAML WorkshopVIllefranche s/mer, May 2010
• 11 Millions km2• 3 oceans, Contracting party to 5 Regional Sea Conventions• Only 0,016 M km2 of MPA’s
CAML WorkshopVIllefranche s/mer, May 2010
The core to the Agency approach
- Cross-checking data and the issues from three standpoints :
- Ecosystems,- Natural heritage- Uses and activities
-Mapping : one of the most important activity of the Agency (6 GIS Specialists)- Stakeholder involvement

Definitions Marine Spatial Planning
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a practical way to create and establisha more rational organization of the use of marine space and theinteractions between its uses, to balance demands for developmentwith the need to protect marine ecosystems, and to achieve socialand economic objectives in an open and planned way (UK, 2008)
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a public process of analyzing andallocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities inmarine areas to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives thatusually have been specified through a political process.

Ecosystem-Based Management
• Integrates ecological, social, and economic goals and recognizes humans as key components of the ecosystem.
• Considers ecological and political boundaries
• Engages multiple stakeholders in a collaborative process to define problems and find solutions
CAML WorkshopVIllefranche s/mer, May 2010
Law 2006-436 of April, 14th 2006
=> What is a Marine Protected Area in France…
• Marine Nature Park
• Maritime area of a National Park
• Maritime area of Nature Reserve
• Maritime Area of Natura 2000 sites
- Special Protection Areas (Birds EU Directive)
- Special Areas of Conservation (Habitats EU Directive)
CAML WorkshopVIllefranche s/mer, May 2010
One strategy
- Adopted by the Government the 20th of November 2007
- Technical contribution / report / work from the Agency to identify the issues and the efficient MPA to respond to these issues: only proposals…

Goal: Knowledge and protection of the marine environment & Sustainable development of human activities
Criteria and targets: Large space, great natural heritage and ecosystems, multi-activity and conflicts
Principle:No regulation, no interdiction when NMP is createdGovernance Stakeholder involvement Local authorities and representative organizationsManagement guidelines
One of the very first targets of the National Strategy:
creating 10 Marine Nature Parks by 2012

In conclusion…the French MPA strategy aims to:
• Create the dynamics for cooperation to stretch beyond the sector-based approach
• Launch a decision-making process involving all stakeholders in order to establish a shared investigation of the stakes in ecologically and biologically significant areas.
Thank you for your attention
