Action B.1.1: Governance Analysis
The Stakeholder Panelist, defined for the LIFE SEPOSSO project, is made up of the main categories of stakeholders involved, based on their role, in the management of Posidonia oceanica transplants.
Periodic meetings will be planned during which the aspects necessary to provide clarity on the principles, rules and procedures concerning the management of P. oceanica transplants will be addressed, understanding the interactions between the different elements of the EIA process and Different actors involved and identify any conflicts that hinder the achievement of optimal governance.
Stakeholders Panelist Life SEPOSSO
The main objective of this study was the assessment of the governance of coastal works and infrastructures that have generated an impact on the Posidonia oceanica meadows and the related Posidonia transplantation activities, prescribed as damage compensation measures.
In particular, the quality of governance processes was analyzed through the analysis of the roles, perceptions and participation of stakeholders in four Italian case studies, linked respectively to the construction of various maritime works: the expansion of the ports of Piombino (LI) and Civitavecchia (RM), the laying of a gas pipeline in Ischia (NA) and the environmental recovery of a Site of National Interest (SIN) area in Augusta-Priolo (SR).
Furthermore, the main visions that feed the debate on the topic of transplants and which are the main meeting points and / or conflict between these visions were investigated. The transparency of the analyzed processes, the degree of public participation and the possibility of citizens’ access to the initiatives concerning the works and related transplants of P. oceanica in the four case studies were assessed in light of the principles of the Aarhus Convention.

The report “Analysis of stakeholders and conflicts” contains the analysis carried out through semi-structured interviews and the Q methodology to define the Governance processes that characterized the implementation of Posidonia oceanica transplants in the main case studies.
