Abstract: ADRIPLAN stands for ADRiatic Ionian maritime spatial PLANning and is a project funded by the European Commission – DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) under the theme "Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Mediterranean sea and/or the Black sea". The total project budget is 1.250.000€, the duration of the project is 18 months from 10 December 2013 until 10 June 2015. ADRIPLAN aims to deliver a commonly-agreed approach to cross-border MSP in the Adriatic-Ionian region, considered as a whole and more specifically through two Focus Areas (Northern Adriatic Sea; Southern Adriatic / Northern Ionian Sea). The proposed approach will be based on the best knowledge available, will be developed with the support of Institutional partners and observers and the involvement of all main stakeholders and will provide detailed recommendations for the evaluation of cross-border MSP. based on an integrated overall assessment (environmental, legal, administrative, economic and social) and taking into account multiple demands and potentials. The proposal will promote the harmonized implementation under an ecosystem based approach of the EU legislative framework on marine and maritime issues, including the ICZM Protocol for the Mediterranean and the new Directive proposal on ICZM-MSP (COM(2013)133 final), and the development of the EUSAIR Action Plan.
