First some words about the Bothnian Sea, our area of study.
Bothnian Sea: Locatedin the gulf of BothniaBetween Finland and SwedenPear shaped Narrower south and north.
3D model made by our project partner. Swedish side: shallow area with sand banks. Finngrundet important for conservation and wind powerDepression from north to south ended in Ulvö deep, the deepest point is 200mline: EEZRed line: planning area (baseline + 1NM). Coastal current zone.
Beautiful place. I took this picture last summer in Åland, an island located in the south Bothnian Sea. The quality of the water is good compared to other parts of the Baltic Sea
The Bothnian Sea freezes every year.The north part is frozen 140 days/year in average. This has implications for maritime traffic.
Bothnian Sea is the most important area for HERRING fishery: 30% of total catches .Subdivisions according to ICES. Catches done mainly by trawl
Funded by DG MARE. Two phases: 1.- data collection and making of draft assessment (basis for the spatial plan)2.- elaboration of spatial plan.Short project: only 18 months
We want to make a maritime plan of the OFFSHORE area.Focus on:1.- transboundary cooperation: Finland and Sweden2.- Ecosystem (one of the HELCOM-VASAB principles)3.- test the applicability of the 10 EU MSP principles
People involved in the project
Where does the info come from? Our partners have gathered dataWe have made our own data (fishery, some background material like salinity, currents...)Importance of open regional databasese like HELCOM: it has helped a lot, specially in the beginning
Processing data:Deal with Different formatsDifferent projectionsData that can not be used/published.Important: METADATAIn general:Time consumingNot specially difficult process  similar formats; projection not a big deal - GIS software can trnasfor easilyWe have to live with copyright restrictions.
130 datasets about:Marine trafficNature protectionWind areasFishery...Showing just an example of the maps that will make the assessment document  current status and data of the Bothnian Sea
Example of the analysis we starting: where are the conflicts? We overlap different layers. In this map we see a clear conflict between nature protection areas and areas suitable for wind power.
We have collected a lot of data and are learning about MSP. We don’t think is good to keep this info just for ourselves.
The reason we want to be open and transparent: we follow the HELCOM-VASAB recommendation
The website is the main gate to other services for spreading our knowledge
Recommnedation: subscribe
Map service essential:How much data do we haveWhat does it look likeYou can overlap layers  view several layers at the same time  analysisYou can download data
Let’s summarize.
Testing a MSPNot bindingOffshore area Finland and SwedenDemonstrate a model for cross-boundary MSPWhen finished: starting point for further development (hopefully)
We have succedded quite well collecting dataData comes from different sources. We have created also dataHELCOM data has been very useful.
Data is useful but we believe that if we share it it becomes more useful.
