Abstract
The document primarily focuses on the long-term planning process for marine spatial planning, as defined by the relevant legislation. Its objectives include the protection of the marine environment, rational use of marine resources, and the integration of management practices that balance societal welfare and economic development with environmental protection requirements. The document operates within the framework of national legislation and aligns with broader European Union directives aimed at sustainable marine resource management and environmental conservation.
The document outlines several key measures and action plans, including the Action Program for Achieving Good Marine Environmental Status 2023–2027. It emphasizes the need for evaluating existing and planned economic sector activities that impact the marine environment, identifying shortcomings in their implementation, and assessing the expected effects on marine environmental status. Additionally, it highlights the necessity of identifying and evaluating potential supplementary measures to achieve marine environmental goals, particularly in relation to eutrophication and other environmental pressures.
The implementation plan includes a mid-term evaluation of the program in 2025, assessing the achievement of initial goals and the progress of planned actions. Institutional responsibilities are assigned to relevant ministries, ensuring compliance with both national and EU regulations. The document also addresses procedural considerations, such as the strategic environmental assessment and public participation in decision-making processes, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder involvement in the planning and implementation phases.
