Zusammenfassung:

Driven by a range of developments, German marine and coastal areas are facing profound change. Of particular importance is the rapid expansion of the offshore sector, which is characterised by the emergence of new permanent large-scale uses, the intensification of land-sea interactions and also new conflicts of use. In Germany, these developments have served as a starting point for the development of a national ICZM strategy. The Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning and the Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing are funding a project to develop suggestions for a national ICZM strategy from the point of view of spatial planning. The project attempts to design a framework suitable for the specific German context, with conflict minimisation and flexibility as its core concerns. So far, a comprehensive stocktake has identified significant trends and likely impacts on the coastal zone, and also pointed out a range of structural needs that a national strategy will need to address. Final results are expected in autumn 2004. Whilst it is clearly important to adapt spatial planning instruments to implement ICZM at a national level, it is equally important to take a more comprehensive and long-term view. In order to effectively deal with the expected changes, economic, ecological and social impacts of future trends need to be understood. Two large-scale research projects have recently been launched to provide this much needed information to supplement the development of the national strategy.
