Establishing and managing a 8.000, ha Offshore No Take Area

Short description of the action

In the next future a large floating offshore wind driven electricity generation field will be established 30 miles far from the Marine Protected Area. This is an unique opportunity to combine an industrial plant with a no take offshore area.
The goal of the project is to drive the installation to optimize the fishing no take zone, evaluate the management of the Area as a MPA, build up the monitoring, management and surveillance system and establish the system for the next 5 years.
At the moment the project is settle on a total 8.000,00 ha sea surface, but a collaborative drawing could define a larger surface.
The proposed project needs, over the proper experience and planning capacity of the management body of our MPA, offshore nautical operative capability acquiring a research equipped small vessel, scientific survey instruments and qualified operative and scientific personnel.
Not secondary goal is the establisment of a pact with fishermen organizations for a participative management of the area surronding the established no take area.
