To close the loop of the COASTAL stakeholder engagement cycle, the Greek Multi Actor Lab (South West Messinia), organized a final stakeholder workshop in Costa Navarino (Romanos, Messinia). The COASTAL team presented the final version of the local land-sea System Dynamic model, illustrated by different scenarios depending on specific policy measures. Stakeholders were invited to express their perceptions on future positive and negative trends within a scenario “business-as-usual”. The second part of the workshop was dedicated to the co-design of the COASTAL business roadmap. Short-mid-long terms actions already identified were presented, stakeholders were invited one more time to contribute. The final part was dedicate to the business idea of a public-private partnership for environmental management and eco-tourism, the discussion was based  on a SWOT analysis format. Interestingly, the participant focused on the strength and opportunities of the present group to move forward together and collaborate towards a common goal. Unlike at the beginning of the project where the discussions were focusing on the problems, challenges, difficulties even when it was time to define a common desire future, the mind set has now shifted toward positive thinking and believes in collaborative process. The COASTAL approach has thus fulfill its objective of increasing coastal-rural collaboration through system thinking combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Alice Guittard from our team participated in the workshop.
