Problems to be adressed
 Policies
to
be
correlated
to
maritime
issues
- land-sea integration via planning processes => no tools developed so far
 Streamline Transnational MSP consultations
=> little practical experience exists instruments developed & tested
 Some sectors (i.e. like shipping) not easily engaged in cross-sectoral thinking feel threatened by MSP => dialogue
 Pan-Baltic
perspectives
in
national
maritime
policies
on
*environment,
*fisheries,
*maritime
transport
&
*energy
Related structures (i.e. Super GRID, Ports & Motorways of Sea or blue corridors)
to be planned on a transnational basis - backbone of national MSPs
=> no pan-Baltic dialogue on transnational priorities
 Many topics not on current MSP agenda and/or no appropriate instruments
(i.e. cultural heritage, fishery, combined uses with wind farms or other uses) =>
dialogue, research, tools
 Good knowledge of the sea, trends and combined impacts essential for MSP to deliver
and apply an ecosystem based approach => Communication and cooperation with
research and among data networks have to be strengthened

MSP Expert Group
Topics (based on report “Minimum Requirements”):
 Intercultural environment: comparison of planning cultures / potential pitfalls and
problems in communication / collaboration, comprehension of the task
 Streamlining preparation of maritime plans with cross-border impacts e.g. topics with
transnational impact, comparable legends, types of zones, restrictions, ways of sea
space prioritisation, etc.
 Can the already elaborated pilot plans for each Model Case be used as templates for
maritime plans in the EEZ of Poland/Lithuania/Sweden? Changes needed in order to
achieve greater compatibility with the planning methodology of the respective bordering
countries
 Stakeholder involvement processes e.g. stakeholder mapping, practical communication
methods, transnational stakeholder processes
 Practical ways of cross-border MSP consultation (when-at which stage, with whom,
how, how much time, what can one expect, which language, etc.)
 MSP data issues e.g. data availability / gaps / exchange and hierarchy (which data is
indispensable and which is of minor importance for drawing up an MSP) / planning in
case of non-availability of data / availability of technical equipment & skilled staff.

Lithuanian MSP Case
Three multi-level topics:
 across sectors: identify more precisely the problems related to current & future sea space use and
to promote MSP for existing and possible conflicts management and/or fostering development
 Stakeholder interviews
 vertical governance line: establish tight connection between local county authorities bordering the
sea and national authorities/ministries setting targets/plan/strategic aims related to marine uses esp.
near shore zone (LNG terminals, deep sea port facilities, energy transmission infrastructure,
offshore wind energy, etc. )
 Two workshops
 with neighbouring countries (LV, SE, RU): ensure smooth transnational consultation both in view of
MSP instruments to be used by LT MSP approach & content/topics with transnational implications &
possible data gaps
 MSP Working Group Meetings on Stakeholder Identification & Communication strategy & topics & tools
 2 Lithuanian / Latvian workshops (Liepaja)
 1 Lithuanian / Russian workshop (Kaliningrad)

Pomeranian Bight MSP Case
 Background:basic stocktake, modelling exercises for fishery and offshore wind energy,
alignment of planning tools between the two responsible bodies in DE => draft proposal
for a MSP.
 Emphasis now:




testing transnational MSP requirements
regional-national consultation with & within the SE part of the Pomeranian Bight
developing / organising appropriate stakeholder awareness raising workshops
further enhancing planning methods for integrating fishery into MSPs
 Activities:
 5 Meetings with MSP expert group (normally back to back with big meetings & Pom Bight
Stakeholder workshops)
 1st SE Stakeholder Workshop (Malmö/Summer 2013): increasing local / regional knowledge
about MSP, interlinkage with climate change adaptation issues, local / regional interests &
targets vs. national concerns, MSP draft from BaltSeaPlan
 2nd SE Stakeholder Workshop (Trelleborg): ZOOM to draft Pomeranian Bight MSP,
underlying planning concept, stakeholder opinion, identified gaps, needs for improvements
 Transnational Stakeholder Workshop (Szczecin)

 Develop appropriate tools for stakeholder communication (Boundary GIS)




Stakeholder identification (mainly SE)
Develop methodology / communication strategy
Develop specific communication tools

Transnational
Stakeholder Involvement
 Idea based on „national“ approach developed by BEF in
BaltSeaPlan case:
 Step 1: individual „one sector only“ consultations – give / get
information – expectations / fears
 Step 2: Analysis / cross-sector combinations
 Step 3: Cross-sectoral workshops – identification of possible
MSP solutions
 Step 4: Overall report
 Transnational Workshops:
 Ideally participants from each country
 Sector specialists => 20 – 25 participants
 Careful selection / good preparation / workshop character

Transnational
Stakeholder Topics
 Pan-Baltic Shipping / Ports Development
 Designation of intelligent corridors, definition of traffic separation schemes,
identification of port development areas, high risk areas, safety zones,
environmental concerns, rearrangement of shipping lanes, pan-Baltic shipping
strategy
 Offshore Wind Energy
 pan-Baltic offshore wind parks strategy (space/optimal locations); pan-Baltic
infrastructure (SuperGRID) ensuring exchange of energy between countries,
balancing fluctuations and even export; *integration of land- and sea-based grid
infrastructure; *buffer zones between offshore wind parks and other uses;
*combined uses
 Climate Change
 Implications of climate change for MSP: What kind of considerations have to be
taken into account, when planning for the future? Which uses might be most
effected?
 Cooperation with BSR Flagship Project “BaltAdapt”
Part-financed by the 21

 potentials/limitations of underwater heritage in relation to tourism
development
 existing & potential threats from other sea uses
 possibilities to address the issue within the MSP
 Aquaculture / New Uses
• Spatial planning implications of new uses such as mussel & algae farms
and/or IMTAs
• Overall space needed, specific locations, conflicts & synergies with
other uses
• Cooperation with BSR projects “SUBMARINER” & “Aquabest”

Transnational
Stakeholder Topics
 Research / Environment & Protection
 Research: spatial dimension of research; * scientific knowledge generation
against delivery of useful facts; *identify role of scientist in MSP process; *current
lines of research carried out; *to what extend can research results already be
used for MSP purposes?
 Environmental stakeholders: *current knowledge of environmental factors crucial
in MSP process; *defining spatially applicable environmental and nature
conservation measures; *how to ensure ecological connectivity of marine
habitats and species through an MSP ; *defining the boundaries of sustainability
of human activities to ensure resilience of the marine ecosystem.
 Data Network Building
 Bring together INSPIRE contact points as well as the various maritime data
providers throughout each country, in order to explore together with them a
possible process for making data networks compatible with each other
 Present MSP Data Model (BaltSeaPlan)
 Input for VASAB Transnational Governance Model

Cross-sectoral dialogues
Detailed Topics to be decided, but currently planned:
 Wind Energy / Aquaculture
 identify synergy effects, conditions necessary for combined uses, planning
horizons and requirements towards MSP / licensing procedures to promote such
combined uses
 Research / SEAs
 Researchers, MSP planners and environmental stakeholders shall jointly discuss
on how an SEA can better fulfil its function in being “strategic”; identify possible
solutions to questions raised in current SEAs and steps to be undertaken in
SEAs to come
 Shipping / Fishery / Energy
 Identify spatial planning solutions (i.e. buffer zones, possibilities for
rearrangement of certain shipping routes, compensation mechanisms, etc.) in
general terms in order to align interests of all these stakeholders
 Possible new topics
