The upcoming Blue4All webinar, “Stakeholder Engagement in Practice”, will explore how MPA managers and project partners can involve stakeholders in decision-making, drawing on practical experiences from two Living Lab case studies.

Taking place on 12 November, from 14:00 to 15:30 CET, the webinar will bring together partners from Italy and France to share lessons learned, challenges encountered and approaches that can support stakeholder engagement in MPA management.

Two case studies will illustrate stakeholder engagement at different scales:

• Capo Carbonara MPA (Italy): MEDSEA Foundation will present experiences in engaging stakeholders around MPA regulations and zoning.

• French Natura 2000 network (France): The Office français de la biodiversité will explore stakeholder engagement across an MPA network, including how to bridge network-level coordination and local involvement.

The webinar will provide an opportunity for MPA managers, practitioners and projects to exchange experiences and learn from approaches to strengthening stakeholder involvement in marine conservation.
