European Seas and Territorial Development, Opportunities and Risks (ESaTDOR)
Start date: Aug 31, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013 PROJECT FINISHED

Europe’s seas have become important in terms of policy making on both European and national level. The exploitation of sea and coastal areas for economic purposes is becoming increasingly important but there are also growing concerns on environmental issues. There have been attempts to replace the existing fragmented approaches to sea management with a more collaborative integrative approach on the European level. In this vein the Blue Book on an Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) has been presented by the European Commission.It is crucial for IMP to respect the different geographical, socio-economic, cultural and political conditions of each of Europe’s maritime areas. For instance the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea regions all face different types of challenges but also have different development opportunities and potentials. Within the IMP context emphasis is laid on maritime transport, which has been a catalyst of economic development and prosperity throughout Europe’s history and today European seaports function as gateway regions within the global economy.
