COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE. APPROACH
8.1 The Parties acknowledge that protective and conservation measures are essential to achieving the MPA Network, including assisting the individual MPAs to function as a network to support Network Goals and Design Elements. Working at the Network Scale, the Parties will explore and facilitate measures that could be made available at the site level to achieve Network Goals and Design Elements;
8.2 The various responsibilities, jurisdictions and authorities held by the Parties are required to design, advance, and implement the MPA Network, and the Parties are committed to Collaborative Governance of the MPA Network using the structures and processes set out in this MPA Network Agreement.

8.3 The Parties acknowledge that the MPA Network will be advanced incrementally over time using the approach described in the Network Action Plan and informed by the anticipated milestones and targeted timelines summarized in the Conservation Plan.
8.4 Collaborative Governance under this MPA Network Agreement will strive to build Consensus among the Parties and their Decision Makers, facilitate reconciliation, and cooperative federalism. Collaborative Governance under this MPA Network Agreement will identify and address issues arising during the implementation of the MPA Network, and assist, when requested, with issues and disputes arising under one or more Nation MPA Agreement.
8.5 Unless specifically agreed by the Parties in writing, this MPA Network Agreement does not replace or undermine the commitments or processes between some of the Parties under other agreements. The Parties will, as appropriate, promote efficiencies and synergies with the Nation MPA Agreements, this MPA Network Agreement, agreements related to Existing Sites, any Establishment Agreements, and other related Collaborative Governance agreements between the Parties on marine, land and resources in the NSB.
8.6 The Parties acknowledge that there may be instances in which bilateral Collaborative Governance between the Nations and Canada and between the Nations and British Columbia may enable efficiencies when implementing this MPA Network Agreement.
8.7 The Parties will use annual and multi year work plans to identify priorities and agreed upon targeted timelines for specific tasks in the implementation of the MPA Network. Wherever relevant, these workplans, priorities and timeli...

COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE. Due to complexity of the current problems that are faced by the different levels of governments, the decline in government efficacy and the scarcity of resources that forces them to “do more with less” a new form of governance have emerged called “collaborative governance” or “network governance” [86]. The literature defines collaborative governance as “the coordination of interdependent actors from public, private and societal sectors for the purposes of developing and implementing public policy” [97]. The model falls in the middle of the spectrum that comprises the different degrees of government involvement [98] The key factor of this model is the inclusion of non-governmental stakeholders in the decision making processes, including the tacit knowledge that these stakeholders can incorporate to the understanding of complex urban issues as NBS projects. Xxxxxx and Xxxx establish six criteria that define the collaborative governance [99]:
1. The model is initiated by the government side
2. They are included non-government stakeholders
3. Participants are included in decision making process and not merely “consulted”
4. The model is formally organized and meets collectively.
5. The aim of the decision making process is to seek the consensus (although not always is achieved)
6. The focus of the collaboration is public management issues Figure 25: Positive and negative partnership outcomes by stakeholder (source: [86]) KEY WORDS Collaborative, multi-level, polycentric HOW EMERGES Usually the model is initiated by the government side trying to incorporate new resources, efficiency, knowledge and competences to solve complex problems. INVOLVED ACTORS Involves a large group of governmental and non-governmental actors that engage in competitive and/or stimulating governing activities. GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT Medium. Government retains the formal authority for any decisions made (anyway non-government actors are expected to assume serious deliberative roles and often play a key role in implementing any decision taken) RULES - The actors are only loosely bound to one another, either organised in several relatively small coalitions that exist beside each other or operating on a more individualistic basis. - The model is formally organized and meets collectively. - Participants are included in decision making process and not merely “consulted”. The aim of the decision making process is to seek the consensus (although not always is achieved). - “Transaction costs” (co...
