The Council plans to invest in highway improvement works in the Chester Road and Hurst Lane North area to make the area more accessible, improve safety, and update its appearance. The specific aims of the project are to improve road safety for pedestrians, provide more parking, enhance pedestrian access and comfort, and improve the quality of the public areas. In 2010, local residents identified issues with the area feeling unattractive and unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists, insufficient parking for shops, and traffic delays. The project aims to address these concerns.
The document outlines transport plans for key events taking place in Birmingham in late September, including the Rugby World Cup. It identifies several broad transport issues that need to be considered, such as safe pedestrian movement, physical constraints on the road network due to works, adequate public transport access and provision. It then analyses potential issues like traffic congestion and incidents and outlines mitigation measures to address issues including additional enforcement of parking restrictions, identifying alternative routes, and deploying variable message signs to warn of delays.

This document discusses water protection actions in the Danube Region Strategy. It provides background on the strategy and outlines some key challenges and opportunities in the region related to mobility, energy, the environment, socioeconomics, and security. Four priority areas are identified: connecting the Danube Region to improve sustainability; protecting the environment; building prosperity; and strengthening cooperation. Specific actions are proposed to restore water quality, strengthen cooperation, continue monitoring systems, boost wastewater treatment, and more. Hungary is working to identify relevant projects and potential flagship projects in areas like water quality restoration and management.
The document discusses the implementation of marine spatial planning (MSP) directives at regional levels based on demands from the public sector. It notes that MSP should follow an ecosystem-based approach and integrate available scientific data and tools while considering competing maritime activities and ecological impacts. MSP requires national supportive legislation, international cooperation, and monitoring/evaluation frameworks. The document then examines MSP potential and state of play in several Mediterranean regions and seas before focusing on Crete island, Greece, and the legal aspects and next steps for effective MSP.

Coastal regions face increasing pressures from population growth and competing uses of coastal and marine spaces. The 2014 EU MSP Directive establishes a framework for maritime spatial planning to promote sustainable development and uses of oceans. While it does not explicitly include integrated coastal management, the directive presents opportunities to incorporate coastal considerations into marine planning. Challenges include implementing planning at various governmental levels, integrating multiple policies, and maintaining engagement over long timescales. Coastal areas will remain important for humans and require sustainable management that considers both land and sea interactions.
The report "Development of a Maritime Spatial Plan: The Latvian Recipe" is a draft for the maritime spatial plan for the Republic of Latvia. It describes the methodology used in it to include the internal and territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone in the Maritime Spatial Planning.
During the process, certain priorities took shape: four sector-based and two cross-cutting. The sectors were maritime transport, fishery, tourism and production of renewable energy, while the cross-cutting included environment and state security.

This document summarizes the progress of the Pan Baltic Scope project from June to September 2018. It describes workshops and meetings held between partner countries to facilitate cross-border collaboration on maritime spatial planning in the Baltic Sea region. Key activities included discussions of ecosystem-based approaches, cumulative impact assessment tools, green infrastructure mapping and land-sea interactions. Data sharing was advanced through the development of a shared data model and platform. Planning forums and bilateral meetings addressed specific national and border issues. The document indicates that work is ongoing on case studies, monitoring, economic analysis and further integrating land-sea interaction concepts.
The document analyzes shipping in the Central Baltic region, including Estonia, Latvia, and Sweden. It finds that shipping is most intensive in Swedish waters passing Gotland and heading to the Gulf of Finland, and around the port of Riga. In Estonia, the ports of Pärnu and Saaremaa Harbour are highlighted as important for regional and international connections. Requirements for shipping include space for lanes and routes of various vessel types and sizes. Future developments may include changes to vessel sizes and routes. Transboundary alignment of shipping routes is recommended.

Spatial planners work in different contexts and have different objectives depending on which country is in question. That is something that became very clear during our collaboration. Therefore an evaluation framework has to be flexible, so that it can be adapted to different contexts.
The evaluation framework we developed presents a set of criteria and indicators that can be used in future evaluations. It gives methodological guidance for evaluating Maritime Spatial Planning processes, with an emphasis on transboundary aspects. The framework could also be used for designing effective planning processes.

If you want to know how to make maps like these, check out our report Mapping Maritime Activities within the SCOPE Planning Area. It explains the key steps to create shipping density maps, from raw data, cleaning and sorting by month, to making the actual maps. And the code is open source and will be available on GitHub.
The report also includes some reflections on mapping fisheries and renewable energy, mainly wind power, in the Baltic Sea region.
We have processed and made available shipping density maps and data spanning ten years, from year 2006 to 2015. All maps are available through the HELCOM AIS Explorer - http://maps.helcom.fi/website/AISexplorer/index.html.
The maps were created from quality controlled AIS data, Automatic Identification System data. The data allows you to compare the shipping data by months and by ship types.
To make it easier to use the ecosystem approach in Maritime Spatial Planning we made a toolbox. The toolbox contains three checklists. These checklists are useful for authorities and others involved in Maritime Spatial Planning.
Our checklists help you to secure that the key elements of the ecosystem approach are included in your Maritime Spatial Planning. They can also inspire and help you to analyse the extent of common views.

The Baltic SCOPE project was unique – it was the first project to bring together national authorities with a planning mandate to collaborate in transboundary Maritime Spatial Planning, with the aim of identifying cross-border issues and solutions.
As with any pioneering activity, we found a need to adapt to changing circumstances and situations along the way, but we learned considerable lessons from this fluid process. Our lessons can be taken forward to future collaborations in transboundary Maritime Spatial Planning. The lessons might primarily be useful to policymakers, planners and other key stakeholders in Maritime Spatial Planning, in the Baltic Sea and possibly beyond.

The recommendations cover four aspects and four sectors. The aspects are transboundary co-operation, processes, planning evidence and stakeholders and platforms.
The sectors include shipping, fisheries, energy and environment. The sector recommendations were formulated based on input from ministries and agencies responsible for shipping, fisheries, energy and environment. For each recommendation, there is a named target group such as policy-makers and planning authorities.

Baltic SCOPE – Better Together
The Baltic Sea is among the busiest seas in the world. At the same time, its ecosystem is unique and faces serious challenges. Baltic SCOPE was a project on Maritime Spatial Planning of this sea.
Baltic SCOPE was designed to increase collaboration and coordination between national authorities and other key stakeholders, in order to develop common approaches to solve transboundary issues and enhance the alignment of national maritime spatial plans in the Baltic Sea region.
The two-year project covered four sectors of maritime activities: fishery, shipping, environment and energy. New methods were developed to gather information and develop planning evidence. The project reached its aim and increased the collaboration between the countries involved. The findings we made in Baltic SCOPE can benefit the Baltic Sea, now and in the future.

New methodologies for an ecosystem approach to spatial
and temporal management of fisheries and aquacultur
coastal areas (ECOAST)
ECOAST aims to identify, develop and test new methodologies for
spatial and temporal management of fisheries and aquaculture in
coastal areas. The overall approach will assess the impact of fisheries
and aquaculture on coastal ecosystems, including essential fish habitats
and conservation priority habitats, as well as synergies and conflicts
between human activities.
Building on previous methodologies and experiences the project will
evaluate marine spatial planning in seven coastal case study areas
having different ecological and socio-economic characteristics:
1) Adriatic Sea (ADR), 2) Ionian Sea (ION), 3) Black Sea (BLK), 4)
Tyrrhenian Sea (TYR), 5) Baltic Sea (BAL), 6) Norwegian Fjords
(NOR) and 7) NE Atlantic Coasts (ATL).
