Development and demonstration project for ecosystem based marine spatial planning (ØKOMAR) (39530)

Project Details

Description

Following the decision of the EU Marine Framework Directive in 2014, Denmark has to transpose the Directive into Danish legislation. By 2021, a strategy for the Danish marine areas needs to be implemented to achieve the objectives including how to obtain the goals for growth and exploitation of the territorial sea taking into account the interaction between land and sea, environmental and economic aspects and organizes the use of the best available data.

The ØKOMAR project will develop and test data-based tools for ecosystem-based marine planning in the Danish waters, partly to explore the use of these tools, partly to make these tools available to relevant users and authorities.
