This document discusses information databases and maritime spatial planning in the Russian Federation. It presents a classification system for functional zones in the Baltic Sea area based on priority, nature of activities, and restrictions. It also outlines sources of information like state databases and monitoring programs, and shows block diagrams of the structure and organization of source data for maritime spatial planning. Maps are presented showing a proposed complex zoning scheme for water areas and coastal territories in the Baltic Sea and areas like the Neva Bay and Gulf of Finland.
