More than 80 experts, practitioners and scientists – representing a wide range of organizations around the Baltic Sea and beyond – shared their experience, knowledge and brought inspiration for further implementation and collaboration on Maritime Spatial Planning.
North, South, East and West – all directions of Europe were represented at the Baltic SCOPE kick-off, with planning experts from the Black Sea, Adriatic Sea, North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
– The demand for Maritime spatial planning is growing, therefore it is crucial to continue the work and bring up the joint solutions to facilitate cross-border collaboration in Maritime Spatial Planning, said Tomas Johansson, chairperson of the Baltic SCOPE Steering Group and head of unit of Maritime spatial planning and Maritime affairs at the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, in his concluding words.

Baltic SCOPE is collaboration to achieve coherence and cross-border solutions in Baltic Maritime Spatial Plans. We aim to provide real planning solutions for trans-boundary issues and a template for dealing with similar issues elsewhere.
