Port of Vigo: Host of the III International Forum of Marine Space Planning - MSPForum

El Puerto de Vigo será el anfitrión del MSPforum: el III Foro Internacional de Planificación Espacial Marina. El evento tendrá lugar en el Tinglado los días del 12 al 15 de mayo de 2019. 

Al igual que en las ediciones anteriores, el evento es organizado conjuntamente por la Dirección General de Asuntos Marítimos y Pesca de la Comisión Europea (DG MARE) y la Comisión Oceanográfica Intergubernamental de la UNESCO (COI-UNESCO). Se espera continuar trabajando en la elaboración de las directrices internacionales sobre MSP transfronterizo, tal como se establece en la "Hoja de ruta conjunta para acelerar los procesos de planificación espacial marítima / marina en todo el mundo" adoptada durante la 2ª Conferencia internacional sobre planificación espacial marítima, en marzo de 2017 en París.

Los resultados del Foro Internacional para la Ordenación del Territorio Marítimo son cruciales para la elaboración de directrices internacionales. Por ello, se invita a la participación de expertos de todo el mundo en planificación espacial marina para trabajar de manera dinámica y participativa durante los días de duración del evento en el desarrollo de estas directrices. El formato en el que se presenta el evento contempla la organización de mesas redondas, paneles interactivos y también visitas para aquellos interesados.
