Sea Use Planning: Fishery

1.) Introduction

2.) Content of the study

3.) Task of the consultant

4.) Proposals of the consultant

5.) Conclusions

Current and future demands in the offshore areas

Rapidly growing use interest for offshore areas

Conflicts became more frequent

Two-dimensional decisions are less satisfying

Coordination off different use interest became more complex

Bernhard Heinrichs: Development zoning in Baltic Sea Bay areas

Requirement of sea- uses and potential for development:

Tourism (e.g. boat tourism)

Sand/gravel extraction

Cables (electricity, telecom) and pipelines

Shipping routes/anchorage areas

Military practise areas

Wind farms and connecting cables

Fishery and aquaculture

Nature protection

Fishery and aquaculture

Idea: Definition of marine reserve area for fishery

Possible criteria: relevant fishing areas, spawn conserve areas, fish conserve areas

Jürgen Autsch

Task of the consultant

Stocktaking: Investigation of relevant basic data and information for the relevant fishing areas, spawn conserve areas, fish conserve areas.

Characterising the spawn conserve areas, fish conserve areas (use conflicts, potential threat ) and results presented in GIS-based maps.

Characterising relevant fishing areas ( commercially relevant species, fishing tools, closed seasons, spatial and temporal extend of fish catches in coastal waters, expected / potential use conflicts, potential threats) and results presented in GIS-based maps.

Task of the consultant

Analysis:

Overlap of the different information and use interests

Classification /quality rating of the relevant fishing areas, spawn conserve areas, fish (breed) conserve areas

Result :

Proposals for deviation of spatial categories

Example: Fishery and aquaculture “fishing locations”

Objectives of the study

1. Proposal for an area categorie in the SSP:reservation area: ”areas with special protection function of the natural base of fish fauna”

2. No area categorie in the SSP: “relevant fishing areas”
