Marine spatial planning in Germany
Spatial planning in the territorial sea is the
responsibility of the German federal coastal
states. Spatial planning in the EEZ is the
responsibility of the Federal Government. In
the EEZ, spatial planning will be carried out
within the framework of international maritime
law.

Offshore wind energySpatial planning arrangement
in the SDP

• Definition of suitable areas for offshore wind
  energy
• criteria
• collision risk for shipping traffic,
• nature protection aspects,
• unspoilt horizon

Which role does TIA play?

• Check large-scale infrastructure projects at an
  early stage of planning
• for compliance with the objectives of
  spatial planning
• for mutual balance of conflicting objectives
• for optimum planning solutions

What are the benefits of TIA ?

• managing conflicts by early participation of
  target groups
• 2) minimizing negative impacts and costs
• by optimizing the choice for location /
  routing / technical planning
• 3) ensuring planning reliability by giving
  early and reliable information about realisation
  chances
• 4) shortening the whole planning process
  by pre-checking crucial points
• 5)  securing spatial planning objectives
• by the duty to take TIA results into
  account in the following process
• 6) supporting local administrations
• in case of large-scale investments

Conclusion

• Spatial planning is an indispensable
  instrument for coordinating activities at sea and
  in the coastal regions and for sustainable
  resource management in these areas.
