Although there are regional sea basin strategies, a European strategy should try to combine everything, through a win-win situation for all stakeholders and users involved.

5. REGION OF crete is interested for:
Close co-operation with Hellenic Centre of Marine Research and other research bodies
Participation in consortiums producing data through research by including Crete as a case study, and thus having access to the data
Development of its Regional Geographical Information System (GIS) by including data collected so far, and new ones gained from new studies
Holistic approach of maritime spatial planning, a crucial issue in terms of BlueBridge objectives
As for the EU contribution, we do stress our efforts to
Encourage the exchange of data with research centers, public services
• Guide the integration of data in cooperation with research centers, public services
• Impose public access to data (open data to citizens, public authorities, researchers, companies)
Be linked with european networks and lobbying for eu policies within a regional/national implementation
