The most conflictual sectors are fisheries, tourism, maritime transport, and defence. The conflicts
are generally related to the spatial take, and the intensity of these activities. Other conflicts were
mentioned such as:
- Relative to the temporal take of the activity
- relative to the means, and methods of the activity
- Relative to communication, and cooperation
Note that a considerable conflict was reported multiple times inside the fisheries sector between
the different categories of fishermen, with most of them having problems with recreational, and
illegal fishing.
 How do you usually manage these conflicts?
Thirty percent of the actors encountering conflicts with
others try finding middle grounds, and solutions which
generally are temporary. Thirteen percent find
permanent solutions through concertation, and
communication, while 28% don‟t try to solve the
conflicts, and 11% withdraw generally being the
weaker actors. Others (8%) mentioned relying on
political arbitration, anticipation when possible, and for
some with limited power, all they do is report to their
hierarchical superiors.
 Elements of MSP already exist in your sector?
Most interviewees are aware of the existence of
some MSP elements in their respective sectors
although they don‟t call them that. These elements
are mostly legislative, and regulatory (laws, and
sectoral plans) such as the National Scheme of
territorial management (SNAT). Institutional
arrangements include conventions, and data
exchange protocols, and technical elements vary for
each sector such as MPA zonings for the
Environment or regulated fishing areas for Fisheries
(ZPR).
 Are they being applied …?
Seventeen interviewees did not answer this question. Forty-three
percent of the interviewees said that their respective sectoral MSPtype elements were partially applied, and 32% said they were fully
applied. Others (8%) said that they were not applied at all.
However, 16 interviewees did not justify their answers. Those who
said they were fully applied either felt obliged to say so because of
their position (mostly administrative actors) or were convinced that
because the elements are legislative, and regulatory that they had
