Islander View: Land Sea Interactions
www.panbalticscope.euLAND-SEA INTERACTIONS & MSP
Coordinating across planning
levels in the coastal area - also across borders...
Why, when and how involve the
numerous coastal stakeholders in
marine planning...
Maritime cultural heritage conservation
& tourismdevelopment and different values...
Environmental problems in the sea caused by onshore activities and vice
versa...
Shipping and fishingand sailing linking to
land-based infrastructure...
What do we know? Do we have data and methods to address an issue? How deal with uncertainties?
What Are Land Sea Interactions?
www.panbalticscope.eu
Pan Baltic Scope Work Package 1.3 Scoping for work with
Land Sea Interactions in MSP1. What is Land Sea Interaction (LSI)? In MSP?
• Do scientists & policy makers think alike?
• How think systematically about LSI?
Literature review: Sarah Mahadeo
2. What are important issues and challenges with LSI in MSP?
• How and when is LSI important in MSP – nationally/across borders?
• What do project partners think?
Lessons Learned and Scoping Survey results: Berit Kaae
3. How shall we work with LSI in MSP concretely?
• What are our common and urgent needs in relation to integrating LSI in MSP?
• Scoping for practical cases to work with in cross border context.
Needs based case work: Margarita Vološina & Jaan Urb Riga Bay & Stefan Husa Bothnian Gulf
4. Checking with you: scoping report and case study plans
• Are we doing it right? Are we asking the right questions? Any good examples?
• What would you want to learn from our project?
Welcome to this session!

What IS Land Sea Interaction?Literature review & conceptual framework
Perspectives from Academia and Policy

Sarah Mahadeo, Nordregio & ERASMUS Mundus MSP Master Programme
www.panbalticscope.eu
Why land-sea interaction? What is the issue?
EU Directive 2014/89/EU: “Marine and coastal activities are often closely interrelated. In order to promote the sustainable use of maritime space, maritime spatial planning should take into account
land-sea interactions ”(EC 2014).
BUT….What is LSI?
Differences in terminology in research and policy, and in the way practitioners ascribe meaning to the concept => ambiguity

LSI: What Is Important For Planners?Survey results from Pan Baltic Scope & beyond
Berit Kaae, Nordregio & Copenhagen University
www.panbalticscope.eu
Focus of survey
• Professional and educational background of planners working with LSI + other LSI staff in organization
• Interpretation of Land-Sea Interaction in relation to MSP• Any definition for LSI in countries' legislation + in countries'
policies or strategies• Perceived relevance of sectors for LSI in Coastal and MSP in
country.• Urgency of LSI in Coastal and MSP in relation to different
sectors• Geographical scales of sectors in LSI within the MSP process• Time scales of sectors in LSI within the MSP process• Problems and challenges working with LSI in country + in a
cross-border context• Needs to focus on in Pan Baltic Scope project
www.panbalticscope.eu
Perceived relevance of sectors
Please indicate the extent to which you
agree or disagree with this statement:
"The following sectors are relevant for LSI in Coastal and MSP in
your country."
www.panbalticscope.eu
Perceived urgency of involving sectors
Please indicate the extent to which you
agree or disagree with this statement:
“It is urgent it to address LSI in Coastal
and MSP in your country with regard to the following sectors.“
www.panbalticscope.eu
Geographical scales of LSI’s
“At which geographical scales are LSI's considered within the MSP process in your country in relation to the following sectors.” Select all scales which apply.
www.panbalticscope.eu
Time scales of LSI’s
“At which time scales are LSI's considered within the MSP process in your country in relation to the following sectors. Select all scales which apply.”
www.panbalticscope.eu
Key challenges within countryKnowledge & Tools• Lack of a definition of LSI• Data - Unclarity on the scale of ecological and human impact data needed for
planning• Lack of good practices.
Process• LSI applied to each sector and topic• Confusion on the scale of planning• Differences in responsibilities in planning• Lack of LSI at municipal level and case by case decision making• Stakeholder involvement + difficult defining LSI to public• Stakeholder mobilisation (different mandates, power, scale and interests;
organised and non- organised groups).• Local interests (onshore) vs. international/national interests (offshore)
Governance system• Lack of planning mandate across the entire land-sea continuum• Different levels of jurisdiction
18
www.panbalticscope.eu
Key challenges in cross-border cooperationKnowledge & Tools• Lack of knowledge of the other countries • Difficulties of getting a joint understanding of the interests
Process• Different scales of planning in neighbouring countries• Different national interests and priorities exist • Countries are at different stages of the planning process• Lack of institutional capacity on local level to deal with LSI issues• Stakeholder involvement
Governance system• Different levels of jurisdiction and legislation• Differences in political systems.• Problems being very sector specific and managed by agreements or tools
outside MSP.
19
www.panbalticscope.eu
Way forward to work on LSI
Knowledge & Tools• Work towards establishing a clear and commonly approved definition
of LSI in relation to the MSP process.• Establish more guidance on key principles and guidelines.
Planning process• Need for to define and implement a good LSI process in MSP • Guidelines or checklists to support the planning process. • Trans-border consultation process • Increasing awareness on how MSP in being conducted and cross-
border issues
Governance system• Clarify jurisdictions and responsibilities inside/outside MSP• Clarify planning mandate across the entire land-sea continuum
=> Case studies can help find solutions

LSI Riga bay case: challenges
1) Absence of real/existing conflicts or challenges are very specified to one topic and are managed by other (than spatial planning) tools/agreements
• Ports vs municipalities;
• Nature protection & tourism; energy deployment and tourism;
• Shipping and energy;
• Real estate construction and access to coastal areas;
• Coastal erosion and pollutionGuy Billout

LSI Riga bay case: challenges
2) Stakeholders: level of
awareness, needs and interests
Lack of institutional capacity on
local level to deal with LSI issues
(LV)
• Municipalities.
• Ports.
• Tourists.
• NGOs.
• Other authorities and organizations.
• Developers (offshore energy,
aquaculture, coastal construction).Guy Billout

LSI Riga bay case: challenges3) Overlap of planningdocuments
Character of MSP – it is guiding and not setting exact places for new uses, what makes it difficult to respond to MSP designations on local level
Last but not least X bordercoherence
Guy Billout
www.panbalticscope.eu 27
+ cross border coherence
www.panbalticscope.eu
Our main Question:
Actual and future role and opportunities of municipalities to plan marine coastal waters?
Main question to you:
What is your experience with LSI regarding methods, tools, topics ?

The Bothnian Gulf Case
Main Challenges
A common view or vision is missing and without it, coherentplanning is challenging
• SC 1: Lack of contact between regional actors in the wholeBay and archipelago. Minimal data and knowledge exchange
• SC 2: What kind of view do we have over the area?How work for a common vision and identify common needs, trends, and possibilities?
• SC 3: Stakeholder involvement, is it always a challenge? How do we activate local- and regional-level stakeholders in working with us for common vision?
