Who can use this blueprint?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This blueprint is intended for all who seek to start or strengthen ecosystem\u2011based management (EBM) locally. It is meant to support e.g. local and regional authorities, community facilitators, NGOs, and practitioners. The step by-step guide is focused on coastal and marine areas, but it can be equally valid for more land-based environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
