2nd Baltic Maritime Spatial Planning Forum, Riga

VASAB and the Baltic SCOPE project in cooperation with ICES organizes the 2nd Baltic MSP Forum – the biggest regional event of the institutions responsible for maritime spatial planning (MSP). The Forum serves as a platform for discussions among those involved and affected by maritime spatial planning on how to develop and enhance MSP in the Baltic Sea basin.
The Baltic MSP Forum is about bringing together practitioners and researchers interested in MSP, as well as policy makers and stakeholders involved in marine and coastal activities to see the whole picture of the MSP and create more effective ways for the cross-border cooperation. The themes of the Forum are relevant and interesting for MSP practitioners from other sea basins as well.

Building on the success of the first Baltic MSP Forum in 2014 it has now become a regular event – taking place once in two years. Thus, the next Forum is planned in 2018 in Germany. The Forum organized by the VASAB serves also as the final conference of the EC DG MARE funded Baltic SCOPE project.
