2. Objectives
Share and disseminate Member States' knowledge on ICM and Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the context of adaptation
Gather information on adaptation measures that could be taken now

Supporting the development of guidance for Member States on ICM and MSP implementation
Updating OURCOAST case studies
Integrating OURCOAST with other databases
Communicate project work

4. Task A: Overview of MS policies and measures

Gathering information from Member States, in particular via a questionnaire – to be mailed in late August *
Literature search, focusing on EU projects and information, to ‘pre-fill’ questionnaire
We would like two volunteers to ‘test’ the questionnaire *
* Interaction with expert group
ADDED: pre-filling and testing

5. Task A: Overview of MS policies and measures
Main outputs:
Fact sheets on all Member States (early 2014)
An inventory of measures, focusing on ICM measures in the context of adaptation (early 2014)
Two in-depth case studies of measures (mid 2014)
Input to the other tasks (especially guidance)

6. Task B: Development of guidance
Aim: a guidance document to support Member States – including regional/local administrations where relevant – implement MSP and ICM principles
Main inputs:
Task A results
Expert group discussions on guidance *
Discussions in workshops and meetings (e.g. Maritime Days)

7. Task C: Updating OURCOAST

9. Task C: Updating OURCOAST
Main activities:
Review current OURCOAST case studies for relevance
Request updates where needed *
Collect new case studies, including on erosion *
Prepare four new case studies that include a quantification of costs and benefits

10. Task D: Integrating OURCOAST with other EU databases
Feasibility study on options for integrating OURCOAST with another database and for strengthening links with other EU databases (late 2013)
Including CLIMATE-ADAPT, WISE (and WISE-RTD), European Atlas of the Sea and others
Assess Member State data sharing *
