Relationship and capitalization on other Projects

ADRIPLAN will capitalize on previous and existing research and studies on the AI Sea, on MSP and on sectoral aspects. This will include non Mediterranean projects, in order to transfer methodologies and best practices in the Mediterranean area. A thorough analysis will be conducted of results available and on-going projects in order to ensure best use of resources and non redundancy of efforts. This effort will be facilitated by the nature and composition of the partnership and by the direct scientific and institutional involvement of many partners in the most important projects on the area. Projects that will be drawn upon include the following.

RITMARE is the Italian Flagship Project on Marine and Maritime Research for the period 2012-2016. Research activities of the project, which is coordinated by CNR-ISMAR and involves most of the Italian marine scientific community, including OGS and CONISMA, will be made available and support the assessment and MSP setup of this project. IPA Projects SHAPE and ADRIGOV share an important part of their partnership with the Italian institutional partnership of this proposal: this will favour synergies among the projects, such as data collection and data sharing and the participatory process through stakeholder involvement. COCONET, recently funded under FP7 and coordinated by CNR-ISMAR, has two main aims: 1- to identify prospective networks of existing or potential MPAs in the Mediterranean and the Black Seas, shifting from a local perspective (centred on single MPAs) to the regional level (network of MPAs) and finally the basin scale (network of networks), 2- to  explore where OWF might be established, producing an enriched wind atlas both for the Mediterranean and the Black Seas. OWF locations will avoid too sensitive habitats but the possibility for them to act as stepping-stones through MPAs, without interfering much with human activities, will be evaluated.

About Us


ADRIPLAN aims to deliver a commonly-agreed approach to cross-border MSP in the Adriatic-Ionian region, considered as a whole and more specifically through two Focus Areas (Northern Adriatic Sea; Southern Adriatic / Northern Ionian Sea).
