Where is the data?
Luckily we have the HELCOM map and data service
maps.helcom.fi
6 partners
18 organization
s
We needed more data
and our partners were
very busy collecting
and creating data
Creating
our own
data
After the data collection
and creation we started
to:
Map the future
Marker and
paper were the
best tools
The processData
collection
Synthesis
The pilot plan!
What did we learn?
Everthing we did
was open!
We shared our activities and processes in our web site: planbothnia.org
All data can be viewed and
downloaded from our map
service
Maritime Archaeology @ University of Southern DK's
We found very little or no data at all for certain topics as
offshore underwater archaeology
Summing up
We tested a
transboundary, offshore MSP

(Try to) be open!!
