Action plan for the operational implementation of the solutions

Summary

As a result of the implementation of innovative pilot-scale solutions, in parallel with the development of the White Paper and under the coordination of the participating entities, a technical implementation action plan will be developed to translate the recommendations contained in this strategic document into operational practice. This document, of a highly practical nature, will serve as a detailed guide for the deployment of the solutions tested in the fields of prevention, early detection and remediation of cyanobacterial blooms. It will also contribute to facilitating the understanding, application and uptake of policy guidelines, by providing concrete and directly applicable technical support for their integration into planning instruments, in particular the River Basin Management Plans of the fourth cycle of the Water Framework Directive. Moreover, this output will play a key role in the transfer of results across the entire Sudoe area, contributing significantly and sustainably to improving the management of risks associated with cyanobacterial proliferations and their impacts on water quality.

Description

As a result of the implementation of the innovative pilot-scale solutions, and in parallel with the development of the White Paper, a technical implementation action plan will be developed to ensure the operational uptake of the recommendations set out in this strategic document. This output is part of the project activities aimed at ensuring the practical applicability of the policy guidelines developed.

The document will adopt a strongly practical approach and will target stakeholders involved in the management of water bodies potentially affected by cyanobacterial blooms, who constitute the main target group of this output. In this regard, it will compile the results obtained through the pilot actions, summarising the experience gained in a set of best practice guidelines for the implementation of the developed solutions.

The action plan will be conceived in an integrated and coherent manner, covering the three levels of solutions tested — prevention, early detection and sustainable remediation — structured as a consistent intervention system. For each of these categories, the entities responsible for their development and pilot testing will collaborate in drafting a detailed plan that includes both the results obtained and a roadmap for their operational implementation.

This document will not adopt an academic or scientific approach, but rather will be oriented towards facilitating its practical application by providing concrete and accessible tools that support effective uptake by water managers. In addition, to strengthen the dissemination, transfer and uptake of results, study visits and specific events will be organised to share both the policy guidelines outlined in the White Paper and the practical solutions developed within the project.
