BALANCE is aimed towards development of informed marine management tools for the Baltic Sea.
BALANCE will in particular:
- Identify and collate relevant and available marine data in the Baltic Sea, Kattegat and Skagerrak area.
- Define Baltic Sea marine landscapes and develop habitat maps, the latter in 4 pilot areas.
- Assess the existing Baltic Sea Marine Protected Areas network and develop a "blue corridor" concept.
- Develop Baltic marine zoning plans in 2 pilot areas (pilot area 2 and 3).
Communicate with stakeholders and disseminate the results to partners, stakeholders and the public.
