Maritime Spatial Planning

• "a public process of analyzing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives that usually have been specified through a political process. Characteristics of  marine spatial planning include ecosystem‐based, area‐based, integrated, adaptive, strategic and participatory".

Guidelines on EA in MSP (cont.)

“The ecosystem approach… is the comprehensive integrated management of human activities based on the best available scientific knowledge about the ecosystem and its dynamics, in order to identify and take action on influences which are critical to the health of marine ecosystems, thereby achieving sustainable use of ecosystem goods and services and maintenance of ecosystem integrity”HELCOM/OSPAR Joint Ministerial 2003 co-funded by EU

Guidelines on transboundary consultations, public participation and cooperation 

i) consultations between MSP authorities of neighbouring countries and/or those countries directly affected by MSP and the related public participation process that should take place concerning transboundary aspects during the process of drafting a maritime spatial plan.

ii) cooperation between MSP authorities at pan‐Baltic scale on issues affecting most or all of the Baltic Sea and/or the level involving most or all BSR countries as well as the process foreseen to ensure effective stakeholder engagement at a more strategic level.

MSP Directive (2014/89/EU) • Cross‐sectoral tool to analyse and organize human activities in 

marine areas to achieve ecological, economic and social objectives;• Transposition of the Directive into national law, and creation of 

competent authorities to put it into effect, within 2 years;• EU MS (except land‐locked ones) are to prepare cross‐sectoral 

maritime spatial plans by 2021. • The plans should:

– apply the ecosystem‐based approach;– contribute to the preservation, protection and improvement of 

the environment;– contribute to the sustainable development of energy sectors at 

sea, maritime transport, and fisheries and aquaculture;– allow MS to pursue additional objectives such as sustainable 

tourism or the extraction of raw materials;• Take into account land‐sea interactions and promote coherence

MSP Directive (2014/89/EU) (cont.) 

• Cross‐border cooperation:– to ensure that their MSP are coherent and coordinated across 

the marine region. MSs sharing a sea should cooperate Means of cooperation are left to Member States to decide.

– MS should cooperate with third countries on their actions with regard to maritime spatial planning (where geopolitically possible).

• Public information from an early stage and participation of relevant stakeholders, authorities, and public concerned;

• Use of best available data and organisation of the sharing of information between stakeholders.

Starting Point14 November 2013. - Signing of an agreement between the directors of the Maritime Offices in Szczecin and Gdynia, Słupsk on cooperation in the preparation of: "Study for the Polish maritime areas" „Spatial Plan for Polish maritime areas"

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Directors of the Maritime Offices will draw up a coherent spatial plan of Polish sea areas in the part relating to the exclusive economic zone and the territorial sea, internal waters of the Gulf of Gdansk and the belt of marine waters located between the baseline of the territorial sea and the borders of the parcels of land area adjacent to marine waters. Work on drawing up the plans will be coordinated by the Director of Maritime Office in Gdynia.
