2 Objectives and management measures
Section 2 links to Action 2C in the WP2 framework.

Briefly review the following information in this section. Please note that policies and regulations at
the EU level will be reviewed by UCL, so you only need to describe the policies and regulations
that apply at national and local levels, in relation to the objective chosen as the focus in your
governance analysis

2.1 What is the priority objective in your case study?
The priority objective is maintaining or restoration to favourable conservation status of conservation
features of the Egadi MPA.

Priority objective: the objective on which the governance analysis is focused, recognising that
this should also be a key priority in the existing initiative you are evaluating. This may come from
a local, national or regional policy level but, where appropriate, relate this objective to the regional
policy framework. There will often be other related objectives that complement and go alongside the
priority objective, which may come from a local, national or regional level and these may be included
in your analysis whilst maintaining the focus on the priority objective. For example, your priority
objective may be to designate a network of MPAs or to promote marine renewables, and the
complementary objective may be to minimise the socio-economic or ecological impacts when meeting
the priority objective. Note that the priority objective may, for instance, be national, whilst
complementary objectives may be regional but you should only undertake one analysis with a focus on
the priority objective.

It is also important to note that in reality, MSP initiatives often have multiple operational objectives,
and it may be difficult to identify the priority objective, however, for the purpose of this governance
analysis, please identify a single priority for the evaluation of governance approaches and incentives in
subsequent sections. The WP6 analytical structure considers all the other objectives that interact,
including conflicting and supporting objectives, with the priority objective in the following sections,
however, the focus must be maintained on the priority objective. The priority objective in each sub-
case study, as agreed through the WP6 case study workshops is listed in Appendix II.

2.2 What are the key policies, legislations, regulations and/or plans that enable/facilitate the
achievement of the above priority objective?
Please list the titles of these policies, legislations, regulations and/or plans, the year of
implementation, and key legal provisions in relation to the priority objective here. Please try to
limit your list to the policies, legislations, regulations and/or plans that are of particular importance
to the fulfilment of the priority objective in your case study, ie driving or directly related to the priority
objective in your case study.
