Moses Project Publishes Policy Briefs

Over the last three years the Interreg Atlantic Area co funded MOSES project has sought to understand and quantify the sustainability dimension of Blue Growth and has resulted in the development of integrated marine sustainability assessment toolkits and sustainable transition plans using a number of case studies across the Atlantic Arc. The Northern & Western Regional Assembly are on of the eight international project partners.

As part of the work of the project has published five Policy Briefs which can be downloaded here:

Assessing the vulnerability of marine and coastal ecosystems across the Atlantic Arc

The aim of this research was to assess the levels of coastal vulnerability in the EU Atlantic region. This was achieved by constructing a synthetic index which was used to rank the European Atlantic Arc countries and regions at NUTS3 Eurostat geographical level.

Monitoring the Atlantic Action Plan objectives using the MOSES maritime economic database

This study involved the development of a marine economic database for the Atlantic Area (AA). By using marine activity classification (NACE codes) relevant to the countries of the AA, the database provides detailed sectoral information on the EU Atlantic marine economy for the period of 2013-2015
