5.5.3 Parc Naturel Marin d'Iroise: Governance Arrangements

Navigation Arrows Previous Next

The creation of the Parc Naturel Marin d'Iroise was a long-term participative process which ended with the settlement of a management board led by the Finistère Department Council President and including a wide range of local stakeholders:

12 representatives from the maritime sector (fishermen, shellfish farmers, tourist industry)
11 local elected councillors (from the Region, the Department and the municipalities)
9 qualified personalities (scientists)
8 representatives of other users (recreational activities)
6 representatives of the State administration
2 representatives from environmental NGOs
1 elected board member of the terrestrial Parc Naturel Régional d'Armorique.

Regarding kelp harvesting, a dedicated commission of the Regional Fisheries Committee (CRPMEM) is in charge of defining proposals for kelp exploitation management rules, which are then amended and codified by the State representative.
