The majority of suggested institutions are ministries including existing ones: MICLAT (16%)
because they‟re already in charge of TSP, the Prime ministry (16%) because of its high influence
over national strategies, ME (16%), and MFFP (8%) because they concerned the most by MSP,
and the Ministry of Defence (8%) to make sure MSP elements are respected ; a potential
Ministry of the sea or of maritime economy (4%), and the Ex-ministry of planning (4%). The
creation of an independent coordinating organism with high influence, and power of decision
was suggested to avoid sectoral subjectivity. Four percent think that a good option would be if
the High Council of the Sea (HCM) was chaired by the Ministry of Defence to give it more
credibility, and strict implementation. Local authorities (4%) were also suggested to be in charge
of MSP because they have the power, and attributions to gather all implicated actors, and work
on solutions together at a local level. Other suggestions include:
- Universities
- Ministry of Transport (Maritime)
- Directorate-general of forestry
