Zoning in MSP for Pomeranian Bight (BaltSeaPlan Pilot Project)

• German Maritime Spatial Plans for the EEZ (North and Baltic Sea) Guidelines for the spatial development– Securing and strengthening maritime traffic– Strengthening economic capacity– Promotion of offshore wind energy use– Long-term sustainable use of the properties and potential

of the EEZ through reversible uses, economic use of space, and priority of marine uses

– Securing natural resources

Spatial designations, regulations, rules:– Shipping– Pipelines– Marine Scientific Research– Energy Production, wind energy in particular

Regulations and rules with regard to:– Exploitation of non-living resources– Fisheries and mariculture– Marine environment– Further Interests: Military Use, Leisure and tourism,

ammunition dump sites and sediment deposition


Zoning in MSP for German EEZ



• General types of regulations– Planning target (legally binding for sectorial planning on

project level, e.g. wind farms)– Planning principle (guideline that needs to be particularly

considered in the decision process)



• Spatial Designations – Area types– Priority areas (Vorranggebiete): area reserved for a defined use,

other conflicting uses are excluded planning target– Reservation areas (Vorbehaltsgebiete): area with a special

weight for a defined use in the balancing of interests planning principle

– [Suitable areas (Eignungsgebiete): defined use is allowed within and excluded outside designated areas (Priority area with preclusive effect) planning target - former designated suitable areas for wind energy had been converted into priority areas in the MSP for the EEZ ]

• Text level 3




Shipping lanes

as basic structure of the draft plan (Art. 60 VII UNCLOS: priority issue under intern. law)

•priority areas: must be kept free from obstacles/conflicting uses

•reservation areas: shipping has special weight in balancing spatial interests

•no traffic regulation!!!!! (protection of existing traffic)



Pipelines

•priority areas: (500m) buffer zone along existing pipelines: conflicting uses excluded ( where overlapping with priority areas offshore wind energy pipeline issues to be given preferential consideration)

•reservation areas: (500m) buffer zone along existing pipelines: special weight in balancing spatial interests

• Text level 1– Text level 2

• Text level 3


Offshore Energy

•priority areas Offshore Wind Energy: conflicting uses excluded general suitability incl. SEA finally determined

•Offshore Wind Farms outside priority areas possible (case by case assessment)

•No Offshore Wind Farms (incl. Other permanent constructions) within Natura2000 areas and priority areas for shipping and for pipelines
