INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of Case Study 3 Burgas: land-sea interac- tions under the project Cross border maritime spatial planning in the Black Sea – Romania and Bulgaria (MARSPLAN–BS), Grant Agreement: EASME/ EMFF/2014/1.2.1.5/2/SI2.707672 MSP LOT 1 /BLACK SEA/MARSPLAN–BS. The project is co-funded by the European Commission through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), DG MARE: https://ec.europa.eu/mari- timeaffairs/index_en.
