The activity should contribute to a coherent implementation of ecosystem-based approach (EBA) in national MSP in the Baltic Sea Region. The aim is to share experience on practical implementation of EBA in partner countries, including implementation of the SEA-framework, and to test the HELCOM-VASAB Guideline and the tools for the implementation of EBA in MSP.
The present synthesis report engages with the concepts of ecosystem approach and maritime spatial planning and the relationship between them with a particular focus on the Baltic Sea context. The report is based on a review of scientific literature, selected reports and pertinent guidance documents. It aims to analyse the consistency between the identified perspectives and recommendations and the manner in which the ecosystem approach is characterised and operationalised in the HELCOM-VASAB Guideline for the implementation of ecosystem-based approach in Maritime Spatial Planning in the Baltic Sea area.
Need to develop a common SEA in MSP language to reach the Ecosystem Approach EBA vision. One outcome from great SEA/EBA-workshop at BSH in Hamburg @PanBalticScope @VASAB_org @HELCOMInfo @havochvatten @IocUnesco @EU_EASME #MSP #SEA #EBA #PBS #SEANSE pic.twitter.com/JwU8bCbNfg

Philipp Arndt, BSH: ”We are good at working together discussing big topics”. Wonderful cooperation with this fine group of MSP-experts at the two day workshop on EBA and SEA in Martime Spatial Planning. @PanBalticScope @mspglobal2030 @EU_MARE @HELCOMInfo #panbalticscope pic.twitter.com/UVrDdtR8Z9 — Schmidtbauer Crona (@Jan_S_Crona) May 10, 2019
