All communities need a set of rules to govern the way they relate to one another as a group and the way they interact and work together. I-SEAMORE management plan compiles the set of guidelines, procedures and standards that will guide the consortium collaboration in its duties under the project contract. In this document the governance structure that will facilitate the monitoring of the project progress and the decision-making mechanisms are set up. Quality assurance procedures, risk management procedures and reporting procedures are described, as well as the rules and tools available for internal communication and data sharing among partners. The work plan with the expected contributions and responsibilities of each organisation and the resources available for each task have been incorporated as reference for consultation. This handbook is intended to support project daily activities and help partners in the accomplishment of their tasks, and ultimately to facilitate the achievement of project’s objectives. This document is issued at the beginning of the project and might require to be amended/updated when necessary, as the work progresses throughout the project life.
