/Global Context
Protection of the natural values of the European territory
Natura 2000 Network
Protected areas in which the natural habitats and species must been managed in a sustainable way,
looking for preserving or restoring their “favorable conservation status”
• Assessment: Diagnostic
• Alternatives: Proposals of measures
• Actions: Selection and prioritation
• Monitoring: Verification

• Region of Cantabria, N Spain: 9 estuaries → 6 SACs
• “Management Plan for the littoral SACs”
http://rednatura2000cantabria.ihcantabria.com/
• Specific management measures
• Negative perception of SACs (e.g. EIA regulations)
• Interferences and conflicts among different uses and activities
• Main objective: Sustainable development within SACs

✓ Legal constraints: EIA / Fragmented competences / Public domain permits
/ Enforcement of BAT in private areas
✓ Administrative issues: public procurement procedures
✓ Conflicting interests:
▪ Socioecological: Conservation contradictions & priorities
▪ Socieconomic: “Ecosystem services” demonstrations
▪ Environment economy: “Natural capital” accountability
➢ LACK OF A REALBIOGEOGRAPHICAPPROACH
