MSP-LSI in Estonia
This report contributes to the Maritime Spatial Planning with two objectives: to undertake an analysis and characterization of the coastal and maritime planning and land-sea interactions from a multi-level (national, local), multi-sectoral (energy, aquaculture, transport, tourism, defence, nature protection, etc.) and multi-actor (public, private) perspective. And to outline policy recommendations that could build the basis for comprehensively embedding the maritime spatial planning competences of local and national level into legislation and into formal and informal planning processes.
