This scientific workshop proposed a comparative approach to marine spatial planning (MSP) between the European Union and Brazil was held in Recife (UFPE). It brought together 65 participants (30 European and 35 Brazilian). Local partners' interest of this workshop was highlighted by the participation of many administrations (Federal Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of the Environment of Pernambuco, Interministerial Commission for Marine Resources); and several Brazilian universities (Univ Brasilia, UPM-Sao Paulo, UFPE, UFRPE, Univ. Cearra). 

The general introduction provided the conceptual framework for the workshop, which examined the different perspectives in terms of governance at sea. From fishing areas to surfing reserves, marine protected areas and legislation governing oil exploitation, a series of presentations provided an overview of the existing areas in Brazil... First steps towards MSP in Brazil were presented the next day. But beforehand, a detour to Europe was allowed by the European partners of the project, who presented the MSP in Portugal, France and the North Sea, within the framework of the European Union's integrated maritime policy. This workshop was closed by the presentation of existing interconnections tacross the tropical Atlantic, between Cape Verde, Senegal and Brazil. 

21 of the participants then participated to a writing workshop hosted by CEPENE (UFPE), in Tamandaré.
