  8. 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
