The Conceptual Analysis of Ecosystem-Based Approach for the European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive

Öz

In this article, the European Union (EU) Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is examined by applying to the conceptual approach in order to understand the importance of normative principles for the ecosystem-based approach in the MSFD. Among these principles, the integration and the precautionary principles are regarded as the most significant principles for the ecosystem-based approach in the MSFD because they are related to ‘Maritime Spatial Planning’ and ‘Adaptive Management’ which are the most important policy tools for the functioning of the MSFD. However, it is essential to have a common understanding of these two principles in a regional level since the ecosystem- based approach requires for regional cooperation not only between EU Member states but also neighbouring states in the same marine region.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Maritime Spatial Planning
• Adaptive Management
• Integration
• Precautionary
• Regional Cooperation

Avrupa Birliği Deniz Stratejisi Çerçeve Direktifi’nde Ekosistem Temelli Yaklaşımın Kavramsal Analizi

Öz

Avrupa Birliği (AB) Deniz Stratejisi Çerçeve Direktifi (DSÇD) içerisinde yer alan normatif prensiplerin ekosistem-temelli yaklaşım açısından önemini anlayabilmek için bu makalede kavramsal analiz yapılmaktadır. Buradaki prensipler arasında yer alan bütünleşme ve ihtiyatlılık prensipleri, DSÇD’nin en önemli politika araçları olarak görülen ‘Deniz Mekansal Planlama’ ve ‘Uyarlanabilir Yönetim’ ile doğrudan ilgili olmalarından ötürü, DSÇD’nin ekosistem temelli yaklaşımının uygulanması açısından en dikkate değer olan prensipler oldukları düşünülmektedir. Bunun yanında bu iki prensip için bölgesel düzeyde ortak bir anlayışa sahip olunması gerekli görülmektedir çünkü ekosistem temelli yaklaşım sadece AB üye devletleri arasında değil, bunun yanında aynı deniz bölgesinde yer alan diğer komşu devletlerinde bölgesel işbirliğini gerektirmektedir.
