Planning:
The
challenges
• Growing
•
conflicts among
seaside
activities
Urgent need for
spatial coordination of
offshore uses
Project results on sea use planning
• Transnational spatial planning register for
offshore areas
• Pan-Baltic comprehensive map of offshore
uses
• Comparative analysis of regulations and
planning instruments
• Common recommendations for action
Recommendations for action
• Agree on a systematic transnational
information exchange on offshore uses
• Prepare spatial plans for offshore areas –
where needed
• Introduce project-oriented and crosssectoral coordination procedures
