The most implicated actors in both systems are ministries in charge of fisheries, and the
environment (MFPP, and ME) which is only normal, since they have the most to gain from
the achievement of MSP objectives, being two of the key actors in the creation of the Edough
Mounts future MCPA. Even though they are both relay actors who are very influent, and very
dependent at the same time, they also belong to the 1
st rank of power, therefore they have the
means to trigger conflicts and/ alliances in both systems.
Medias (M), and the coastguard service (NCGS) are the most dominant, and controlling in
the game of actors of both systems, for different reasons. They are both in the 1
st rank of
power. NCGS has regulatory missions over maritime, and coastal space, and therefore, over
its users (the rest of the actors). As for M, it has the least to lose whatever the consequences
of the system‟s evolution although it has the potential to influence most of the actors. In the
same rank of power, we find the ministry of finance (MF) (relay actor in A, and B), and
MICLAT (dominant in A, and relay in B because its dependence increases in real MSP).
Hydrocarbon transport companies (HTC), universities (OU, BMUA), and the department of
training, and vocational education (DTVE) are ranked second according to their power
profiles in both systems. They are autonomous actors.
The common 4
th rank actors of both systems are autonomous: nautical activities (NA),
tourism operators (TO), department of tourism, and handicraft of Annaba (DTHA); and
dominated: recreational fishermen (RF), aquaculture farms (AF), and small trades (ST).
These last three actors are the systems‟ least controlling actors, they relatively have no means
of action over the game of actors. Note that NA is the least implicated actor in theory MSP
but not so much in real MSP, and that ST is the least controlling actor in real MSP.
The rest of the actors belong to the 3
rd rank of power meaning that they have average
influence, relatively considerable dependence, and average control, and implication. These
actors include local authorities, port facilities, decentralized administrations…etc. They are
either relay, dominated or autonomous actors.
Some actors change status between the two systems such as:
- NCAA and F whose influences drops down enough in real MSP to be one of the least
controlling actors.
- The ministry of industry, and mines (MIM) whose power increases in real MSP to go
from the 2
nd to the 1
st rank.
- The ministry of tourism and handicrafts (MTH) who goes from being a 3
rd rank
autonomous actor in theory to a 2
nd rank actor in between dominance, and autonomy
in real MSP.
- Fisheries and aquaculture training centres (FATC), who‟s involvement in the
decision-making processes, and institution accompaniment in developing blue
economy, and MSP is not systematic.
Key actors appear to have different rates of power over the evolution of both in theory, and
real MSP systems. It wouldn‟t be logical to consider only the most powerful actors as others
are central to the discussed problematic, such as fishermen (in B) who are the first actors
concerned by the establishment of the MCPA through MSP at a local scale, or the coastal
commission (in A) who has the legal attributions, and prerogatives to be implicated in the
process, or even local authorities (in A, and B) who may be the most suitable actors to gather
