SKAGERRAK - ett unikt hav



The project is co-funded by ERDF through the Interreg IIIB North Sea Region programme.



WP4 Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Planning

Pilot projects to create “marine plans” for a well structured spatial development of the sea areas.

Downsize the outcome from the NORCOAST project and implement best practice guide lines to Skagerrak and its coastal zone.

Describe and suggest concrete improvements in the “Common rights to access” in the coastal zone.

Participate actively from the regional level in the ongoing international and national work to identify marine protected areas in the Skagerrak.

Spreading knowledge about the high and unique values of the sea and the coastal zone to management, planning actors and the public.
