  3. About the planning tool • Summary of the conference in Bremen • Present work: deepening the manual • Next steps and open questions

  4. Summery of the conference in Bremen • Academic approach on marine area spatial planning • Insight in ongoing Marine Area Spatial Planning in the German EEZ • Insight in the work of the Waterway Directorate North to provide for optimal navigational safety in MASP • Presentation of the Polish approach of MASP • Two presentations concerning Fehmarn Belt crossing, one pro, one contra • Presentation of the draft planning tool • Workshop session on spatial interferences and consultation needs concerning port enlargement, oil terminal and Fehmarn Belt Crossing •  attending master mariners and pilots said it was interesting, therefore we were happy

  5. Present work • Investigation on windfarm development in the Baltic Sea finished • Investigation of coastal tourism development under elaboration Both investigations meant to be added to inventories • Deepening of the manual concerning • worldwide approaches of MASP • the EU Green Papers‘ recommendations

  6. Status and trends of off shore wind park development in the Baltic Sea Region • Investigation covers the whole Baltic Sea concerning • Current installed offshore • wind power • Planned offshore wind power • Nartional goals and strategies • concerning offshore wind power

  7. Investigation of coastal tourism develop-ment • Relationship Tourism and maritime safety • Economic importance • Facts and figues • Maritime and coastal tourism • Beach tourism • Pleasure boating • Cruise line tourism • Relavance for spatial planning/MASP

  8. Deepening of the manual concerning worldwide approaches of MASPthe EU Green Papers‘ recommendations Being added undermore: • Comparison of different MASP approaches in the light of EU Green paper suggestions and questions

  11. Relevance of the Greenbook for Just two examples where we feel positivly encouraged by the Green Paper: We agree on the fact that environmental data and socio-economic statistics have not been readily available in a coastal format (p. 25). We therefore start to carry out an socioeconomic impact assessment of the situation in the region Klaipeda, Lithuania. The integration of the existing systems of civilian and military users (p. 33) undoubtly makes sense. We would like to contribute to the investigation of both, civil and naval administration of sea space.

  12. Relevance for The Green Paper consequently promotes maritime economy and regards the discipline of spatial planning as tool for economic development. Maintenance and improvement of the maritime environment, is described in terms of potentials for EU’s competetiveness, growth and employment (page 10) and is left to the thematic strategy (Marine Strategy). Problem: Concerning our task to manage the threats we therefore have to look for orientation in the Marine strategy, where spatial planning is hardly mentioned.

  13. Relevance for For the approximation of the target of Baltic Master the Green Paper is helpful nevertheless as we hereby get clear orientation about the present EC commitment to maritime economy. This ist important as our task within the project can’t only be an outline but has to take into account the possibility of implementation as well

  14. Relevance for Nevertheless the Green Paper is not of crucial importance. The Green Papers underlying principles start with the Lisbon Strategy while the Baltic Master project focusses on an protective approach: Can we manage the threats to the Baltic Sea?
