ATLAS Deliverable 7.1 Policy Stakeholder Engagement report

For this initial ATLAS stakeholder engagement exercise, we sought internal views from ATLAS associate partners and advisors and external opinion from experts attending regional and global marine governance meetings that have taken place during the first six months of the ATLAS project.

The ATLAS WP7 Policy Stakeholder Engagement Survey asked questions about Blue Growth, levels of engagement with current policy instruments and area-based management tools, direct involvement with the 12 ATLAS Case Studies, understanding of major forthcoming policy challenges for the Atlantic, involvement in complementary project initiatives, and expectation of ATLAS.
