PanBothnia
a. Map the need for knowledge exchange on a national level, e.g., data sharing and joint maps, in
the joint/common areas. Possibly contribute to SeaGIS2
b. Discuss good marine status and Blue Growth, in the form of common needs, interests, and
possibilities, as well as existing and potential differences and conflicts. Identify the sectors
that would benefit from cross-border collaboration and development in the PanBothnia area
Coast to Coast
