1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

FishMPABlue2 project is the follow-up of the FishMPABlue project funded by Interreg MED

Programme 2007-2013 (from now on: FishMPABlue 1).

FishMPABlue 1 carried out an analysis (based on literature review and questionnaires answer by

MPA’s managers) on the management of small scale fishery (SSF) within and around a set of

Mediterranean MPAs, and developed the so called “regional-based governance toolkit” of potential

measures for small scale fisheries (SSF) governance in and around MPAs (i.e. composed by

multiple key-elements, also called “tools”) enabling MPAs to reach successful management of

SSF. More specifically FishMPABlue 1 highlighted that fish stocks are healthier, fishermen

incomes are higher and the social acceptance of management practices is promoted (so overall a

successful management of SSF is reached) if a set of elements is present in a MPA (e.g. high

MPA enforcement, presence of a management plan, high fishermen engagement in MPA

management, fishermen representative in the MPA board, and promotion of sustainable fishing).

The aims of FishMPABlue2 are:

- to test the governance toolkit (i.e. by implementing these elements or increasing their level),

through multiple Pilot Actions in selected MPAs

- to assess and quantify its effectiveness in achieving expected results in terms of MPA ecological

effectiveness, benefits delivered to SSF and social acceptance of management measures by

stakeholders.

Pilot actions in selected MPAs will be implemented mainly through a contract between each

relevant country-based project partner (PP) (with the exception of WWF MedPO for Spain and

University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis for Greece) and the correspondent MPA managing body that

will be directly engaged to test (supported by several capacity-building actions implemented by the

project) the toolkit.

WWF Adria is launching an Open Call for the implementation of Pilot Projects in Croatian and

Slovenia MPAs.

The Call is financed by the Interreg MED Programme.

EXPECTED PROJECT OUTPUTS:

• Tested and upgraded version of the “governance toolkit”

• New concepts and procedures for associating conservation (MPAs) and sustainable

fisheries (FRAs)

• Evaluation Report on Pilot Actions results on MPAs territories

• Pilot MPAs (11) engagement in Pilot Project implementation and upgraded toolkit adoption

• Formal engagement by at least 5 additional MPAs in “Governance Toolkit” adoption and

implementation

2 OBJECTIVES OF THE CALL

Within the framework of the FishMPABlue2 Project, WWF Adria is responsible of the technical and

financial coordination of a Pilot Project in Croatia and Slovenia.

The objective of this Call for Tenders is to select two suitable Marine Protected Areas (MPAs),

one in Croatia and one in Slovenia, with which we will sign service contract to carry out the

Pilot Project implementation and governance toolkit testing activities.

3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES TO BE CARRIED OUT

A: Summary of the activities to be carried out:

• Establishment of fisheries Local Governance Council

• Creation of Pilot project implementation plan aligned with the Governance toolkit

• Support to monitoring activities (ecological, economic and social) before and after

implementation of the Governance toolkit

• Survey of MPA fisheries features

• Implementation of the Governance toolkit and the selected tools

• Regular communication with LGC

• Participation in the preparation of the upgraded version of Governance toolkit

• Participation in the training event organised by the FishMPABlue2 Project

• Preparation of 6 progress reports to be delivered to WWF Adria

B: Detail description and timeline of the activities to be carried out:

3.1. Testing the governance toolkit- overall approach

One of the main objective of the project is to implement the “Governance toolkit” in 11 Pilot MPAs

and to assess the benefits (from ecological, economic and social perspectives) arising from such

implementation. Testing will be carried out, in the first phase (“preparation phase” see below), by

engaging selected MPA management body and local small scale fishermen in the establishment of

a formal “Local Governance Cluster - LGC” among the two; this new cooperation body (the LCG)

will be responsible, along with WWF Adria and under the guidance of the FishMPABlue2 Project


5

Work Package 3 (WP3) coordinator, of the selection of a set of tools (from the list within the

governance toolkit and under the guidance of WP3 coordinator) to be tested for implementation in

the corresponding Pilot MPA.

Testing will be supported by a capacity-building strategy (provided by the FishMPABlue2 Project)

targeting mainly LGC and other local stakeholders (e.g. local administrations, economic actors,

NGOs, etc.) and through various other activities such as on-the-spot coaching to support

preparation, testing and monitoring aspects of the pilot action. The capacity building strategy will

have a common approach for all the Pilot MPAs, whereas the implementation of the selected

governing tools will be based on the specific features of each Pilot MPA.

LGCs will be supported in the implementation of the selected tools by WWF Adria, which provides

technical and financial support, on the basis of a formal contract that will be signed by WWF Adria

with the MPA managing body following this call for tenders.

WP3 coordinator and Conisma (project partner) will provide the LGC with the scientific

methodology for monitoring the ecological, economic and social effects of the implementation of

multiple tools. Monitoring of such effects will be carried out in each Pilot MPA by University of Nice

Sophia Antipolis (UNS) and Conisma, involving the LGC (particularly for the economic and social

evaluation), following common standardized procedures in order to assess changes in

management effectiveness of each pilot MPA due to adoption (i.e. testing) of specific governing

tools.

3.1.1. Testing the governance toolkit: time frame of the pilot projects implementation

Pilot project will be executed in 23 months, following a common structure:

I. Preparation (6 months): WWF Adria will support LGC, under coordination of the MPA

managing body, in assessing the needs and identifying the governance tools to be tested in each

Pilot MPA, and planning the follow up activities.

II. Testing (15 months): identified governance tools are implemented in each pilot MPA by the

LGC, under coordination of the MPA managing body, with the “coaching” from WWF Adria. In this

phase, the scientific monitoring will be carried out both before implementing the governance tools

(“before phase”) and after its implementation (“after phase”), by UNS + Conisma with the MPA

managing body (see 3.1.2 for details about the tasks to be carried out), in order to measure the

ecological, economic and social status of the MPA and the potential effects of the governance

tools.

III. Evaluation (1 months): monitoring data from each pilot MPA will be assembled and

analysed by UNS and Conisma. Findings will be synthetized in both a scientific report – drafted by

UNS and Conisma - and in a communication tool issued by LGC, in order to restitute to local

stakeholders the assessment findings.

IV. Closure (1 months): testing results will be transferred and discussed among all the LGCs of

the pilot MPAs (11 pilots), to upgrade the tested “governance toolkit”. This will allow the project

partnership to prepare an updated version of the “governance toolkit” (for its dissemination towards


6

other MPAs in the Mediterranean in line with Project WP4 “Project results Dissemination and

networking”). Pilots MPAs have to deliver to relevant PPs (in this case WWF Adria) 6 brief

Progress reports (see Table 2 for details on deadlines) in order to allow WP3 Coordinator to

prepare a Report – to be submitted to the Project Work Package Coordination Group (WPCG) and

Project Steering Committee (PSC) – with the WP3 implementation state-of-play (Project

Deliverable 3.1.5). In parallel, a “cross-fertilization” (i.e. know-how exchanging) activity involving

the selected 11 pilot MPAs will be carried out, in order to capitalize, exchange and transfer the

results of each pilot MPA. This will be done through communication tools (e.g. thematic brochures,

online platform) and events (3 exchange visits, 1 training course, 1 sharing-experience conference,

and dissemination at national level events) where to share common challenges and solutions.

The management bodies of Pilot MPAs formally accept (through the signature of the contract with

the relevant PP) to engage themselves in the following activities:

a. implementation of the Pilot Action as foreseen by FishMPABlue2 project and described in

the Governance toolkit (attached to this Call for Tenders)

b. sharing with WWF Adria all the data needed to perform the final evaluation on the results

from testing the selected governance tools

c. formal adoption of the tested (and positively evaluated) governance tools and exploitation of

the latter also after the closure of the project

d. stable monitoring activity of ecological, economic and social aspects of small scale fisheries

management after the end of the project

e. participation in joint project training as foreseen by FishMPABlue2 project

f. participation in joint project events as foreseen by FishMPABlue2 project

For fulfilling these tasks each selected Pilot MPA will be contracted abn compensated of the

related expenses. The budget and typologies of expenses, the modalities to be compesated and

any other related provisions are described in the contract, of which the current document

represents an annex.

3.1.1 Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the preparation phase

WWF Adria formally engages the pertinent MPA managing body and ease the setting up of the

LGC between the corresponding MPA managing body and the local small scale fishermen

representative body/ies (if not existing, MPA managing body should ease its establishment). The

first activity of the LGC is therefore the identification of the needs for a successful management of

the SSF in the MPA; this activity will be based also on the collection of relevant data (describing

the current status of the SSF management in the MPA) implemented following specific data

collection tools issued by the project and with the support of WWF Adria.

Then the LGC should identify which governance tools should be the most suitable to be

implemented in that specific MPA according to specific guidelines issued by the project and

provided to each MPA. These are the ones listed in the FishMPABlue1-related “governance

toolkit”, additional ones indicated by FishMPABlue2 WP3 coordinator (e.g. reduction of fishing

effort for small scale and/or recreational fisheries).

Finally, WWF Adria and LCG should draft jointly the “Pilot Project Implementation Plan” (PPIP),

where all the activities needed to implement the pilot action – including the selected governance


7

tools are to be described. Along with the PPIP, the LCG will provide to WWF Adria, a break-down

of the costs related to the implementation of each of the selected tools.

In order to define the Pilot Project Implementation Plan (PPIP), at least 2 meetings between WWF

Adria and LGC should be organized in each Pilot MPA (Project Deliverable 3.2.2). The

organization of the 2 meetings should be led by the MPA management body. LGC should

guarantee the engagement of all the relevant local small scale fishermen in these two meetings.

The MPA management body will issue the Minutes of the two meetings within one week from the

meetings’ date.

A survey of MPAs features (i.e. related to fisheries management, environmental, economic and

social features of local fisheries) will be developed by each LGC (under coordination of the MPA

managing body), under the guidance of WP3 Coordinator. The objective is to define for each Pilot

MPA which fishery-related governance needs are the most important ones and which tools of the

toolkit are the most suitable ones to be implemented (Deliverable 3.2.3 “Survey on MPA features”).

With reference to this, the first step will be to perform a survey of the current status of

implementation – if any – of existing governance tools (e.g. enforcement, fishing effort, fishermen

engagement etc.) in each MPA. LGC will provide the needed data (using a standardized tool

prepared by WP3 Coordinator and providing data and studies already carried out previously) to

allow LGC to illustrate the current status regarding SSF in the MPA. Each Pilot MPA will deliver

specific information (e.g. on MPA zoning, bathymetry and habitats distribution of each MPA and

surrounding unprotected areas) needed in order to allow Project Partnership to properly plan the

design of the scientific ecological monitoring.

Based on outcomes from the “Survey on MPA features”, the meetings between WWF Adria and

LGC, and with the scientific guidance of WWF Adria and WP3 Coordinator, a description of the

selected governance tools and follow up activities will be done and drafted in the “Pilot Project

Implementation Plan – PPIP”. The Pilot Project Implementation Plan – PPIP will be formalized (i.e.

approved by WWF Adria and formally adopted by the LGC). Along with the PPIP, the LCG will

provide to WWF Adria a break-down of the costs related to the implementation of each of the

selected tools.

MPA managing body at first, and LCG too have to engage themselves that activities indicated in

the PPIP will be implemented by the set deadlines.

Authorizations for scientific monitoring (i.e. using underwater visual census and baited remote

underwater video) have to be guaranteed by the MPA managing body to UNS and Conisma

according to scientific monitoring schedule.

3.1.2. Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the testing phase

Pilot Project Implementation Plan should be carried out by the LGC, under coordination of the MPA

managing body and the “coaching” of WWF Adria.

The “Before phase” monitoring activity will be carried out in the following way:

• assessment of the MPA ecological status by WP3 Coordinator and PP2 Conisma, involving

the MPA staff during the monitoring activity, in order to stimulate a better understanding and

appropriation of the monitoring tools and guarantee a stable monitoring system, after the end of

the project;

• the MPA economic and socio-cultural status will be assessed by each LCG under the

coordination of the MPA managing body and the supervision of the WWF Adria and WP3


8

coordinator, following the methodology issued by WP3 coordinator and Conisma, and exploiting

common tools developed by the project partnership.

For the economic assessment, the MPA managing body will ensure the monitoring of SSF catches

within the buffer zone of the MPA (if exist) and surrounding unprotected areas according to a

sampling design that will be tailored by the WP3 Coordinator (UNS) and Conisma. The monitoring

of small scale fishing catches should be carried out by experienced operators, and photographic

documentation must be regularly provided to WWF Adria to ensure high quality-standard of data

collection. The monitoring of SSF will be performed following specific guidelines that will be

provided by the WP3 coordinator.

For the social assessment, specific questionnaires will be developed by the project partnership and

will be used by the LCG to obtain the data.

In the framework of the “Building capacity” Strategy of the project, 2 training activities will be

organized where all the 11 MPAs have to attend (Deliverable 3.3.1). Pilot MPAs managing bodies

have to ensure the attendance of at least 1 MPA managing body staff/LCG representative at each

of the 2 workshops:

• The first one will focus on environmental, economic and social monitoring methodology and

techniques. During this workshop WP3 Coordinator and PP2 CONISMA, will present the

methodologies selected for environmental, economic and social monitoring and will provide

guidance on how to perform scientific monitoring on economic and social aspects in order

to ensure a solid and consistent data collection in all the pilot MPAs;

• The second one will deal with governance measures, in order to allow MPAs (and project

partnership) to learn lessons from 11 pilot implementation outcomes (May 2018, location to

be defined) organized by MedPAN and IUCN Med.

In May-June 2018, effectiveness of governing tools implementation will be assessed (“After

phase”) in the same way, i.e.

- on environmental components through on-field monitoring activity, implemented by WP3

Coordinator and PP2 Conisma and involving the MPA managing body staff (see above);

- on economic and social components by each LCG, using the same tools that were

previously used on the “Before phase”, under coordination of the MPA managing body and the

supervision of WWF Adria and WP3 coordinator.

The experience obtained by LCG during the project will be a crucial tool for the MPAs to set up a

permanent monitoring system which will continue after the project closure. MPAs will formally

commit themselves – before the end of the project – to carry-on monitoring after project

completion.

3.1.3. Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the evaluation phase

Ecological, economic and socio-cultural data gathered in each pilot MPA during “Testing” phase,

before and after the governance toolkit implementation, will be assembled and statistically

analysed by UNS and Conisma by September 2018, and the main results will be adopted by the

project partnership.

Main findings will be synthetized in both a scientific report – by UNS and Conisma - and in a

communication tool – issued by LGC (Deliverable 3.4.2), in order to provide the results to the local


9

stakeholders (during the closure meeting planned in September 2018). These findings will be

crucial to assess the efficiency of the governance toolkit and to provide guidelines for future

management of MPAs in relation to SSF and governance approaches.

3.1.4. Testing the governance toolkit: activities to be implemented in the closure phase

The findings described in the “Evaluation”-related Report will be transferred and discussed in a

“closure” meeting (Deliverable 3.5.1) with LGC and main stakeholders of each pilot MPA

(September 2018) to upgrade the tested “governance toolkit”. MPAs management bodies will

contribute to disseminate these results to other stakeholders (see Section 3).

This will allow the project partnership to prepare an updated version of the “governance toolkit”

taking into an account the results of testing and the discussions with stakeholders.

The closure meeting has be organized by MPA management body in collaboration with WWF Adria

and engaging all the main stakeholders of LGC.

The Governance toolkit is an appendice to this document.

3.1.5. Minimum standards required

Any submitted proposal will be assessed against the following criteria:

• Being consistent with and contributing to the official conservation and sustainable fisheries

goals of the protected area.

• Being consistent with sectoral sustainable policies at national and local level.

• Describing the existing systems/tools/activities to monitor fisheries related impacts/benefits,

and declaring availability to test new tools as identified during the Pilot Project

implementation.

• Demonstrating to have an existing participatory fisheries planning system/tool where the

main fisheries related stakeholders are involved, and how it will be involved in the Pilot

Project implementation.
