DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for the Baltic Stakeholder Conference 2024 as well as the parallel youth event that will take place online during the conference. Both of these events will take place on 29 February 2024. \nThe Baltic Stakeholder Conference 2024 is set to bring together experts\, policymakers\, and enthusiasts to discuss and shape the future of the Baltic Sea region. \nOfficial registration for the event is now open\, and will close on 31 January 2024\, so secure your spot now. \nRegister here \nDuring the registration process\, attendees are encouraged to select one workshop session for the morning and another for the afternoon\, so that their experience can be tailored based on their personal interests and preferences. \nThe event will be hybrid (in-person and online)\, with the in-person component taking place at: \nHanaholmen\, Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre\, Hanasaarenranta 5\, 02100 Espoo\, Finland \nThe in-person event promises an engaging platform for discussions\, networking\, and collaboration among stakeholders invested in the well-being of the Baltic Sea region. \n\n\nIn parallel with the main conference\, a special youth event is also scheduled for individuals aged between 16-22. \nThis youth-focused event aims to provide a platform for the younger generation to actively participate in conversations and contribute to discussions that will shape the future of the Baltic Sea. \nRegister for the Youth Event \nDon’t miss the opportunity to be part of this significant conference. Sign up now. Your voice matters! \nProgramme (links to presentations and recordings will be available after the event)\nModerator: Rogier Elshout\, Moderating.EU\, The Netherlands \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\nBaltic Stakeholder Conference 2024\nYouth Conference:\nChallenge the status quo: redefine our relationship with nature\n\n\n09:00-10:00\nRegistration\n\n\n\n10:00-11:00\nPlenary\nPlenary\n\n\n11:00-13:00\nBlock 1: Workshop sessions\nYouth conference\nFacilitated by\nRogier Elshout\, Moderating.EU \nHow can we redefine our relationship with nature? \nWhat are we at risk of losing? \nWhat is the Baltic Sea worth to you?\n\n\n\nManagement\nUpdating management guidelines for marine protected areas (MPAs)\, developing a methodology for management effectiveness assessment and testing it in national case studies.\n\n\n\n\nSpatial modelling\nCreating high-resolution environmental datasets for the Baltic Sea and project future species and habitat distributions to inform conservation and management strategies.\n\n\n\n\nEcosystem services\nDeveloping a versatile methodology to assess\, map and\nvalue ecosystem services. The project will inform marine conservation\, optimize marine spatial protection for MPAs and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs)\, and identify key areas for ecosystem service production\, demonstrating their socio-economic value and guiding future assessments.\n\n\n\n\nLegal frameworks for planning marine spaces\nAssessing and aligning international and EU legal frameworks with Baltic Sea Action Plan targets\, evaluating compatibility with directives such as the Birds and Habitats\, Marine Strategy Framework\, and Common Fisheries Policy.\n\n\n\n\nMPA Portal\nBuilding and updating a regional portal with information on MPAs and OECMs. Employing agile development methods\, the process ensures alignment with the needs of MPA managers and users\, integrating key functionalities and data models to enhance regional capacity in marine protection.\n\n\n\n13:00-14:30\nLunch\nLunch\n\n\n14:30-16:30\nBlock 2: Workshop sessions\nYouth conference\n\n\n\nRestoration\nContributing to the development of a Regional Restoration Action Plan and toolbox\, highlighting regional priorities\, methods\, costs\, and feasibility in regard to restoration efforts.\n\n\n\n\nGovernance\nFostering a shared regional understanding of marine spatial protection\, establishing common terminology and setting ecologically relevant protection targets and indicators. It also identifies threats and pressures on ecosystems and assesses the efficiency of existing protection measures.\n\n\n\n\nMonitoring\nReviewing the existing monitoring systems for marine\nspatial protection in the Baltic Sea\, exploring innovative monitoring tools and methods\, and developing a comprehensive framework and guidelines for the entire MPA network.\n\n\n\n\nCoherence\nRevising criteria for assessing the coherence of marine spatial protection\, aligning them with scientific knowledge and environmental goals\, and develops connectivity models to understand species and habitat interactions. The work assesses the MPA network\, emphasizing representativity\, replication\, adequacy\, and connectivity\, with a focus on species and habitat distribution.\n\n\n\n\nMPA Europe Baltic Sea Regional Stakeholder workshop\nMPA EUROPE will present their results to date on classifying marine ecosystems\, modelling species and habitat distributions and mapping blue carbon stores. They will also invite stakeholders to begin to co-identify use cases for their maps\, final atlas and results.\n\n\n\n16:30-17:00\nCoffee and tea break\nCoffee and tea break\n\n\n17:00-17:50\nPlenary\nPlenary\nRecommendations and visions from the youth conference\n\n\n17:50-18:00\nClosing of the conference\nClosing of the conference
