The study proposes a new approach to Cumulative Effect Assessment (CEA), using the best data available.
Baltic LINes
This guide, develop under the framework of the Baltic LINes project, presents a step-wise approach summarizing the considerations taken when assessing, deciding on and designating the suitable areas for offshore wind energy and grid development.
Baltic LINes
The shipping sector is one of the most prominent activities within any given maritime space so it is one the first sectors that is considered when drafting a maritime spatial plan.
BONUS BALTSPACE
This practices demonstrates how the sustainability of the MSP governance process can be evaluated.
Frontiers in Marine Science
This study developed a Disturbance Vulnerability Index (DVI) for 26 seabird species for disturbance from ship traffic in the German Baltic and North Seas.
Increasing intensity in the use of ocean spaces and coastal development presents a threat to recreational uses of the ocean, such as surfing, diving, and snorkeling.
Over the last decade, the accelerated transition towards cleaner means of producing energy has been clearly prioritised by the European Union through large-scale planned deployment of wind farms in the North Sea.
Ocean & Coastal Management
There is growing evidence that the ecosystem service (ES) concept can provide valuable input to marine spatial planning (MSP), by highlighting which ecosystem goods and services can be produced from a planning area.
High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy
The COVID-19 pandemic has had severe ramifications worldwide, and the ocean economy is no exception.
JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY & PLANNING, 2019, VOL 2, NO 6, 841-853
Marine spatial planning aims to create a framework for the oceans and seas that minimise conflicts between economic activities within the marine environment while maintaining good environmental status.
MARITIME STUDIES
Both policymakers and scholars acknowledge and emphasise the need for learning in maritime spatial planning (MSP). However, few explain why learning is important.
