Abstract

The aim the GAP project is to promote and enable processes for open and effective participation of stakeholders in research and management. This case study builds on mutual learning as a basic principle of transdisciplinarity that incorporates the processes, methodologies, knowledge and goals of stakeholders from science, industry and politics. This paper addresses mutual learning as an important element of the Maritime Spatial Planning processes. A step-by-step approach towards collaboration is based on understanding the other side’s thinking, focusing on shared interests and looking for solutions to common problems. It is technically supported by the participatory Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mutual learning methodology. The results of integrating fisheries into the real process of MSP in Estonia are presented and discussed.
