Why do we do Maritime Spatial Planning in the Baltic Sea? The Plan Bothnia test case
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,461 views
The document discusses the significance of maritime spatial planning (MSP) in the Baltic Sea, highlighting the region's increasing activity, including oil rigs and wind farms. It covers HELCOM recommendations for developing a sustainable MSP and reviews a specific project testing these principles, demonstrating the importance of data sharing and visualization. Furthermore, it emphasizes the collaborative effort needed to manage environmental impacts and promote transboundary coordination in the area.

Editor's Notes
- #23: SHOW principles in paper
- #33: First a short introduction about the editors of the Plan Bothnia publication and the members of the lead partner, Helcom. We think the lead partner team froms an exotic coctel!
- #38: Planning is solving problems. So we need to start first IDENTIFYING the problems. To do that we need DATA. To start a plan first we need to know what data we have available. Data is crucial and in the beginning of this project we didn’t have almost any. We started almost from an ”empty” sea. I say ”almost” because luckily we had HELCOM. HELCOM is the best example of an open regional database. We got a lot of data to start the project but we needed more and more specific for the Bothnian Sea.
- #39: Thanks to these people we have maps like this. This map shows where fisher main fish herring in the Baltic Sea. Herring is the most important fish on the Bothnian Sea. Most catches in the Baltic Sea take place here. This data is unique. There is nothing with such detail in the whole Baltic Sea area. It’s made with VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) and catch logs from fish boats. Our Swedish partner created it.
- #40: Another example is this map showing maritime traffic. We have to analyse where the main route are, whether traffic is increasing or decrasing and the possibility of new roures in the future.
- #45: I showed you that we have tons of data, should we just keep it for ourselves? From the beginning we thought that it would be best to share our data and processes. Why? Because we think that we all benefit from sharing data and being open. There is no point of keeping all the knowledge for ourselves.
