Spatial development plan for the coastal area between Hara peninsula and Ristinina : ICZM plan for the Läänemaa case area

إنجليزي. SustainBaltic i.e. ICZM Plans for Sustaining Coastal and Marine Human-ecological Networks in the Baltic Region project is implemented for 27 months during 2016–2018. SustainBaltic (CB354) is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the Central Baltic Programme 2014–2020. SustainBaltic is a cooperation project of the University of Turku, the Estonian University of Life Sciences, the Finnish Environment Institute, the Regional Council of Satakunta, and Tallinn University. The project aims to improve the share of the managed coastal networks in the Central Baltic area by the cross-border preparation of the ICZM plans for a total of four case areas with their public assessment in Estonia and Finland. This was planned to be achieved by 1) integrating multidisciplinary human-ecological data on the whole project area: in Finland – the regions of Satakunta and Southwest Finland and in Estonia – the areas of Lääne, Harju, and Lääne-Viru county with their land-sea interfaces; 2) selecting the themes of ICZMs and case study areas which are located along the coast of Lääne and Lääne-Viru county in Estonia and in the region of Satakunta in Finland; 3) making four digital ICZM plans, which were first tested with the current regional land use of the project area; 4) public assessment of the plans using both e-platforms and arranging working groups with the stakeholders and end-users directed by the project members; and 5) as the final results of SustainBaltic, the updated completed ICZM plans can be downloaded from the websites of the partner organisations and at http://www.utu.fi/SustainBaltic, also beyond the life span of the project. In addition, the interim results and the other activity phases of the preparation of the first ICZM drafts are found at https://blogit.utu.fi/sustainbaltic/. This ICZM plan covers the spatial development plan and land use zoning for the Läänemaa case area (from Ristinina peninsula in Keibu bay to Hara peninsula in Hara bay). This ICZM plan is an indicative document that municipalities can use in the preparations of general plans or other local development documents (development plans, projects), as well as in the preparation of national-level marine spatial plans.
