Maritime Spatial Planning Data Expert Sub-group of the HELCOM-VASAB MSP Working Group

The reports shows which data relevant for MSP should be shared among countries, what gaps exist as well as how the INSPIRE process can support MSP.

BONUS BALTSPACE

This contribution is focussing on challenges for policy and sector integration in Baltic Sea marine spatial planning (MSP). The study identifies concrete coordination problems, analyses why they have emerged and discusses possible remedies.

The aim is to support the establishment and implementation of MSPs in line with the EU Directive on MSP, including capacity building and support in establishing cooperation mechanisms.
