  1. Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Germany) By Susan Toben Ministry of Transport, Building and Regional Development Mecklenburg – Vorpommern PlanCoast Lead Partner

  2. Administrative Borders in the Baltic Sea (12 miles-zone, EEZ)

  3. Uses in the Baltic Sea

  4. Uses in the Baltic Sea

  5. Marine spatial planning in Germany Spatial planning in the territorial sea is the responsibility of the German federal coastal states. Spatial planning in the EEZ is the responsibility of the Federal Government. In the EEZ, spatial planning will be carried out within the framework of international maritime law. Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  6. Kind of planning declaration/determination • Priority areas: reserved for a defined use, other conflicting uses are excluded • Reserve areas: defined use with priority in this area • Suitable areas: area is suitable for defined uses, which are excluded outside these designated areas Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  7. Spatial Planning arrangements Wind farms and connecting cables Cables (electricity, telecom) and pipelines Nature protection Tourism/Leisure Sand/gravel extraction Fishery and aquaculture Provisions taken from other plans Shipping routes/anchorage areas Military practise areas Special Protection Area & Special Area of Conservation (EU Bird Directive & EU FFH Directive) Content of Spatial Development Programme for the 12-sm-zone of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  8. Uses and restrictions in the 12sm zone

  9. Definition of suitable areas for offshore wind energy criteria: collision risk for shipping traffic, nature protection aspects, unspoilt horizon Offshore wind energySpatial planning arrangement in the SDP Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  10. Marine suitable areas wind energy

  11. Priority and reservation areas nature protection and landscape

  12. Priority and reserve areas for raw materials

  13. Reserve areas for cables and pipelines

  14. Sea Use Planning of the German Baltic Sea

  15. Fishery and aquaculture • Idea: Definition of marine reserve area for fishery • Possible criteria: relevant fishing areas, spawn conserve areas, fish conserve areas

  16. Example: Fishery and aquaculture “fishing locations”

  17. Result: Fishery and aquaculture“Areas with special protection function of the natural base of fish fauna”

  18. Thank you very much for your attention! Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  19. Which role does TIA play? • Check large-scale infrastructure projects at an early stage of planning • for compliance with the objectives of spatial planning • for mutual balance of conflicting objectives • for optimum planning solutions Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  20. Which issues are checked in TIA? In principle: All relevant issues! TIA Economy Environment TIA Society Culture Bernhard Heinrichs: role of spatial planning in maritime policy

  21. TIA , SEA and EIA Environment Spatial Development TIATerritorial Impact Assessment EIAEnvironmental Impact Assessment project level SEAStrategic Environmental Assessment programme level Bernhard Heinrichs: role of spatial planning in maritime policy

  22. ExampleWindfarm Baltic 1 Main issues :- Collision risk- nature protection- tourism Bernhard Heinrichs: role of spatial planning in maritime policy

  23. Impact on tourism: spoiled horizon ? Bernhard Heinrichs: role of spatial planning in maritime policy

  24. What are the benefits of TIA ? • managing conflictsbyearly participation of target groups • 2)minimizing negative impacts and costs • by optimizing the choice for location / routing / technical planning • 3)ensuring planning reliabilityby giving early and reliable information about realisation chances • 4)shortening the whole planning process by pre-checking crucial points • 5)securing spatial planning objectives • by the duty to take TIA results into account in the following process • 6) supporting local administrations • in case of large-scale investments Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)

  25. Conclusion Spatial planning is an indispensable instrument for coordinating activities at sea and in the coastal regions and for sustainable resource management in these areas. Susan Toben: Marine Spatial Planning – Experience from MV (Germany)
