4 Why this programme? Eco-engineer Eelgrass and seahorse; example of mutual gain Foto fitis, sytske dijksen

5 Why this programme? Conflict > political issue > agreement (over)exploitation permit Mussel agreement & nature restoration Wise use court 2000 time 2010

6 Why this programme? Waddensea; unique Natural World Heritage Bonn Convention, Ramsar, Nature 2000, WFD etc 3 local NP s Clear overall policy: International designated - human inclusive - nature reserve Nature and co-use under pressure i.e. dredging, fishing, sand norishment, wind turbines, plastic soup, 2008 Dutch minister Verburg commissioned: a multi-year Nature Recovery Plan Wadden Sea From to

11 What? Focus: Streamlining initiatives Seek new solutions Benefits for man and nature Learning by doing approach Target; A ecological and social-economic rich Wadden Sea (region) The process demands creativity and innovation (and sometimes guts)

12 Towards a rich Waddensea We work on nature restoration and towards sustainable use of the Waddensea As a network organisation on demand and in co-operation with the participating partners; and building new partnerships. With the guiding vision; our work should have added value for man and nature. Together we can succeed in making the Wadden stronger and resilent, for man and nature.

13 Core business PRW summarized From policy to realization Supporting parties to achieve developments, ready for realization Connecting parties, initiatives and knowledge Create overview, coherence, exchange information, bringing knowledge together, bringing people together Boosting innovation Add budget, dare bet on opportunities also from users and water safety, learning by doing Direction giving Direction giving, don't take over responsibilities, monitor progress, identify natural ambition, identify bottlenecks Create support Involve stakeholders, provide awareness, stimulate dialogue

14 Results understanding inspiration Balance ecology economy - safety hydro-morfology silt adaptation fishery agreements (transition) challenging realization

15 Results just a swimway initiative

16 Results thoughts for policy policy exploration Wadden advice on resilent foodweb advice on sustainable accessibility

17 Nature 2000 as a guideline (?) Ecological potential of Waddenecosystem just partially covered with Dutch N2000 targets N2000 managementplans 2000-use-reference driven Static N2000 targets (ha, numbers) in dynamic system To what extend are adaptive sollutions (eg sealevelrise challenge) supported by Nature 2000 approach? Do (Dutch) Nature 2000 and Water Framework Directive challenge stakeholders to innovate and adaptive sollutions?

19 Evaluation of the programme Programme is evaluated, folluw-up in development Project vs Programme = Result vs Long-term goal Long-term goal achievement is difficult to evaluate Who can claim the result, multilevel partnership Learning by doing; serious interaction hands on projects policymaking Intervention strategies: challenge people, subtle energetic connecting parties, initiatives and knowledge direction giving, without taking over responsibilities realization in projects and programmes (e.g. ED2050) professional, personally involved acting complementary

20 Evaluation of intervention style Necessity of a intervening programma ( a bunch of people ) Width of repertoire as strength Need for more sensitivity on interests agendas timing partners Tension on promotion PRW itself versus role oil man Tension on challenging vs existing frameworks Maintaining freedom of action 1.6 mio/yr Funding Assigned / free budget
