Facilitating MAES to support regional policy in OVerseas Europe: mobilizing stakeholders and pooling resources

Coordination: Regional Fund for Science and Technology (FRCT), Regional Government of the Azores (Portugal)

Partners: 14

Overall Objective: The MOVE pilot project intends to involve policy makers, researchers and the civil society in the development of methodologies for Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) in Europe’s Outermost Regions (ORs) and Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs). A coordinated and synergistic approach is advocated to turn the geographical, political and knowledge base fragmentation of these entities into assets, pooling resources and building robust participatory tools

From case studies to anchor projects - setting the ground to advance MAES in Europe’s overseas

Coordination: Regional Fund for Science and Technology (FRCT), Regional Government of the Azores (Portugal)

Partners: 12

Overall Objective: The work developed under the MOVE project highlighted the steps forward in the implementation of Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) in Europe’s Outermost Regions (ORs) and verseas Countries and Territories (OCTs).

The MOVE-ON project intends develop four Anchor Projects to advance MAES implementation in those regions. These projects will cover both marine and terrestrial ecosystems in different geographical locations and scales, encompassing all the spectrum from methodological development to decision-making support. The MOVE-ON project intends to contribute to the EU and International policies and goals, developing and disseminating good practice guidelines and policy recommendations for improving the health status of ecosystems.
