Maritime Spatial Planning has become an essential requirement in order to ensure and contribute to the protection of the marine environment. The challenge is to regulate economic interests by simultaneously ensuring appropriate levels of safety for the various off-shore activities in coastal and open sea areas like fish farming, establishing operating wind farms and other activities mainly focusing on avoiding any limitations to safe and efficient vessel traffic flows from and to ports. International and national rules and regulations, recommendations and guidelines and other legal and administrative measures have been developed, established and set into force to avoid uncoordinated actions and activities. Even though the procedures and processes for spatial planning in the maritime domain has successively been improved there seems to be still potentials for optimization of the planning. As a hypothesis, those potentials are expected by extending and improving the data basis used for the description of the current and the forecasting of the potential future situation in respect of the environment and the traffic activities. This paper presents interim results of an ongoing study specifically focusing on available traffic and environmental data and on the use of available guidelines and data sources for potential improvement of the planning processes. Expert opinions have been surveyed and analyzed and first preliminary recommendations are derived as suggestions. |
