Maritime spatial planning in Germany Responsibilities 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.. Bernhard Heinrichs: Maritime spatial planning
Administrative Borders in the Baltic Sea (12 miles-zone, EEZ)
Legal impact of specifications in spatial plans: • 1. Spatial planning objectives = Strictly binding on project approval procedures • 2. Spatial planning principles = Have to be taken into account when weighing interests during project approval procedures In Germany, spatial planning has not only a recommendatory but also a legally binding control character.

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 Bernhard Heinrichs: Maritime spatial planning
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. Bernhard Heinrichs: maritime spatial planning
