Baltic SCOPE kick-off - Southwest Baltic Case
* The information presented is the working exercise of the cross-border maritime spatial planning discussions and can not be treated as the official opinion of the European Commission and the Member States involved in the consortium of the Baltic SCOPE project.
4. Different types of Transboundary
• Thematically defined
• Geographically defined
• Multi-lateral defined
• Bi-lateral defined
• Domestically defined
Where ?
• In open Sea /EEZ
• In TTW
• Narrow stripes
• Estuary / involving
the shore
15. Focus areas SWB
Thematic Topics
• Energy, (wind power, pipelines,
cables)
• Shipping
• Environment and Nature
• Fishing
Geographical areas
• Öresund
• Middle bank
• Adler bank/ Ronne bank
• Kriegers Flak
• Pomeranian bay
• Boarder Poland - Denmark
16. A step wise approach
Assessment
Thematic national stakeholder discussions
A multi national and cross sectorial
stakeholder conference
Multi planers discussions finding solutions
Input to national MSP processes
17. Challenges for Coherent MSP
in a Transboundary context
Challenges for the Baltic Scope
• Independent Governments decides about targets, priorities in
the respective MSP
• Plans are/will be adopted by national parliaments/goverment
• Different status on plans/different legal system
• Bilateral or (multilateral) governmental agreements will be
required if MSP will be coherent
18. How does it look
2050?

Editor's Notes
I am Tomas Andersson and are coordinating the SWB case
This is the Geographic areas of the Case SWB
I will say something about what
topics and
geographical areas we have identified as relevant to discuss in
a transbourdary perspective of MSP
Finaly I will say something about chalenges
This an interested area with lot of population and a lot of activities going on
Some areas are facing strong urbanisation and some has a declining population
We have a big number of ports and there is a lot of cargo and ferry traffic going on
Coherent planning cross boarders can are not always the same. We are talking about transboundary or cross boarders as its one thing.
I will come back to this later on and it’s consequence's for the case. But for not I will just highlight some differences and try to connect them to hat this case will work with.
But for now I just want to highlight that we have a number of different Cross or trans border situations in this region and effecting MSP
First some example's of what I called Thematically Multilateral defined topics
We have a lot of ports , but the shipping is also in transit, further in to the Baltic. It’s a have trafi sea and thers is separation skeems in place.
This is AIS data for 2014, it shows all the traffic with routes and TSS
This is effecting all countries in the case (and Baltic) and therefore Multilateral as well a thematic
Fiching is taking place all over and
This is effecting all countries in the case (and Baltic) and therefore Multilateral as well a thematic
This shows the Swedish pelagic catches by trawl and seine. Here we will compile information from all countries
KG landed weight 2012
Environment are a Pan Baltic issue and we should tray to have a joint approach to ecosystem approach
This is allso effecting all countries in the case (and Baltic) and therefore Multilateral as well a thematic
The green her is an attempt to develop a map illustrating connectivity and core eras
Now some examples of geographical interesting areas in the SWC
I will give you some examples
South Middelbank is a shallow bank in the EEZ between Poland and Sweden
Environmental and wind power development is interesting here. How to develop or how to use the bank is mainly an issue to discuss on bilateral level between two copntries even thoe the environmental issues are effecting the entire SWB
It’s the same with Adlers bank but here is more relevant for Denmark and Germany ro find a common wiev
Öresund is another example of area were it’s mmotiveted to have Bilateral discussions.
Öresund is interesting for many reason, we have a diffrent development here with physical infrastructure such as the bridges, idea's of tunnels, metros
Kriegers Flak here we have three countries meeting each other in the EEZ zone and all thre have plans for developing wind power.
Based on the knowledge's about development and geography the case has identified the following areas as important to discuss to be able to achieve coherent MSP planning
We will try to work in this way
As you can see the issue of TB linked to the planning is tricky. We need to keep in mind that achieving coherent planning might in the end effect the cooperation between states.
This is good to keep in mind. We as civil servant do have different mandate for agreeing about this issues and how free we are to act
The project is short and ther is a lot done in the region already so , it's important to not redo everything.
