  1. PlanCoast Handbook/ Guidelines and Key Messages Angela Schultz-Zehden 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  2. PlanCoast Guidelines • Illustrates need for Integrated Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) • Hands-on guidance facilitating its effective implementation • Illustrated Handbook including • Recommendations on how to tackle existing problems • Tools and instruments pointing towards potential solutions • Concrete case study examples from PlanCoast Pilot Projects • Other background material on Marine Spatial Planning • Publication: Spring 2008 • Target Group: Stakeholders involved in MSP 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  3. Structure of Guidelines • Why Integrated Marine Spatial Planning • When to do Integrated Marine Spatial Planning • Who should do Integrated Marine Spatial Planning • Which data/info is necessary for Integrated Marine Spatial Planning • How to prepare Integrated Marine Spatial Plans • How to implement Integrated Marine Spatial Plans • Supporting processes Annexes: case studies, national reports, etc. 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  4. Why Integrated MSP? Many users, growing pressures • Interconnections (land-sea, use-use, use-ecosystem) • Cumulative Impacts External drivers • Climate change • Changes in global and regional economies • Technological developments 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  5. Why Integrated MSP? • Resulting trends • The sea: An economic powerhouse • New offshore technologies (renewable energy, blue biotechnology) • Clustering and co-use based on concept of synergies • Gobal trade, shipping, port infrastructure • Mariculture • The changing nature of pressure • Fleeting to static • Small-scale to large-scale • Short-term to long-term • Not all pressures can be influenced => but impacts demand a structured response 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  6. Expected benefits of MSP Different expectations depending on the starting point: • Better visibility of uses • Co-ordination, integrated plan for all relevant uses • Ensuring best possible co-existence of use • Secure open options for future developments • Security for long-term investors • Facilitating equitable access to marine resources • Allocating space to new uses • Conflict resolution • Securing acceptance • Implementing a systems approach 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  7. When to do MSP ? • Spatial impacts • Uses always have impact, but not all impacts spatially relevant • Spatial impacts: any use that requires delineated area of sea • Spatially relevant uses • Areas for extraction, military uses, nursery grounds, bird corridors, infrastructure, mariculture, shipping corridors, harbours • Conflicts arise from incompatibilities 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  8. Different Seas - Different Pressures Adriatic Sea uses: +++ biggest issue ++ big issue + issue 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  9. Different Seas - Different Pressures Baltic Sea uses: X – incompatible X - conditionaly incompatible 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  10. Message 1 Prepare integrated and constantly updated maps of Marine Spatial Uses - everywhere Prepare Marine Spatial Plans - only when and where needed (conflicts) 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  11. Who should do MSP? • New institutions are not needed • But existing ones need to be improved • Clear responsibilities • One coordinating body • Use different levels for different tasks • International: common principles • National: responsible for overall framework • Regional: cross-sectoral agencies to take the lead in implementation • Local: case specific solutions, controlling, acute conflict resolutions 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  12. Who should do MSP? International National Regional Local The Sea Coast 12smz EEZ beyond Responsibility 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  13. From Stocktaking to Assessment Stocktaking (Mapping) • What is stocktaking and why is it necessary? • What should a stocktake comprise off? • How can it be done? Assessment (Planning) • How can trends and impacts be rated? • Who should be involved in such rating and who chooses criteria? • How to assess future risks and how to deal with uncertainty? 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  14. Messages 2 • Collect data according to needs • For case specific planning in limited sea areas, collect data according to most acute spatial problems • Improve availability and accessibility to data and information • Access to raw data can be restricted by rights & fees • Processes data should be accessible to professional circles • Planning products should be accessible to everyone • Agree on systematic information exchange • Link coastal and marine data collection • Create a regularly updated coastal and maritime cadastre 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  15. How to prepare MSPs ? Establishing the framework • From assessment -> to policy frameworks -> to plan -> to implementation -> to acceptance • Goal setting / visions • Find criteria for conflict resolution 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  16. Message 3 Define basic national strategy for offshore development • which is developed cross-sectorally • tied into international developments • further defined in regional strategies 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  17. How to prepare MSPs ? The Planning Process • Appropriateness of scale and delineation of planning space • Who to involve how and when? • Public participation • Integration of land & sea 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  18. Message 4 Prepare guidelines for cross-sectoral content & procedure of MSP Establish transparent management procedures for public participation processes 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  19. Using Impact Assessments Environment Spatial Development TIATerritorial Impact Assessment EIAEnvironmental Impact Assessment project level SEAStrategic Environmental Assessment programme level 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  20. Message 5 Use Territorial Impact Assessment including Environmental Impact Assessment for projects 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  21. Implementation of MSPs • Formal Regulatory Context • General Information from PlanCoast Countries • Problems with implementation • Prerequisite for successful implementation • Importance of context: not one single solution • Informal Instruments • Moderated Conflict Resolution • Creating acceptance through transparency and consultation • Voluntary Agreements 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  22. Messages 6 • MSP is more than a technical exercise - it is a political responsibility • Create the legal framework for MSP • Identify basic policies that rule coastal and offshore developments • Operationalise existing laws and strategies through directives • Concept and adopt specific maritime legislation for offshore areas • Make full use of informal processes • Create working methods for informal processes • Meetings, newsletters, working groups • Awareness raising 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  23. Supporting Processes • International Policy Processes • EU Blue Book • Transnational Organisations in Regional Seas (Helcom, Black Sea Commission, Adriatic Commission, etc.) • Role of International Projects • Financial Resources for MSP 20th November 2007 / Berlin

  24. Message 7 • Improve effectiveness of cross-border consultations for offshore development plans and projects • Use and strengthen transnational coordinating bodies • Develop transnational concerted plans or offshore infrastructure corridors • Integrate existing project results and recommendations into international policy 20th November 2007 / Berlin
