ABSTRACT The stress on the coastal zone arid its resoufces is coritinuouslyincreasing. During the last deeades the exploitationof the coastal ione has become mOfe intensive. With related conflicts arid competition in that zone it is necessary to develop (a) methods for management strategies to solve problems and (b) programmes for a more balanced use of the ~and and water resources in the coastal zone. Physical planning processes must involve authorities on both loeal, regional and national levels. The coastal zone is attrac­ tive tor urban settlement, industries, tourism and weekend-houses, fishing, aquaculture, mineral exploitation, pipe Iines, wind-power, shippingand military establishments, nature conservation arid marine archeology. In addition the coastal zone is used as a recipient tor raw and treated sewage wider trom urban areas, industries, agriculh..ire, t6restrY, ete. The mutiple uses of the coastal zone items imply competitiori arid conflicts among human uses. Conflicts mayaiso arise between human activities.and animals Iiving iri the area. Hence fishing arid aquacullure operations are threalened by eider-ducks, cormoranls, seals and other animals. Anolher side of that conflict is the competion between commer­ cial uses and the interest cf nature conserVation. The BalÜc Sea as weil as other sea areas surrolmding Sweden are shared with other countries. Envifonmenlal problems as pollution and the allöcätion of human activities must be solved byagreements between various countries. Marine ccmventions suCh as Helcom, Osparcom and the Gdansk Conventiori regulale such malters. On national basis in Sweden tt1ere is a comprehensive framework ofacts and ordninances, whicll regulate tlla use of land arid water areas in the Swedish coastal zone out to the territorial boundary, 12 nautical milss trom tlla baseline. Examples of Swedish laws are: the , Plarining and BUilding Act, tlle Wate.. Act, the Natural Resources Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Nature Conservancy Act and the Water Pollution Act. The National monitoring programme is supervised by Swedish EnvironmentalProtection Agency. Two präctical examples aregiven forhow the Swedish legislation system is. .. applied, one on aquaculture and one on the building of a bridge between Sweden and Denmark. The Regionäimoniloring programmes Col1sists of individual monitoring programmes, whiCh are co-Ordinäted by the various Swedish County Councils. According to the Swedish Planning arid Building Act, every municipality shall have a comprehensive physical plan both tor land and waterareas. This plan shall also include aspeets of national interest a6cordirig to the Natural Resources Act. The lalter states that the requiremenls tor ecological, social and socio-economic considerations are met. In order to elueidate this eoncept, a muriieipälity, Lysekil, on the Swedist1 west-coast is used as an example of such a physieal plan tor a municipality. The plan covers the national interests in Lysekil municipality from nature conservation to military defence. The various activities and interests; water as a recipient, clean coastal water, the establishment of industi"ies, urban settlements, soeietel tect1nical support systems, energy production, shipping, aquaculture arid conservation, versus conflicts and competition are iIIustraled as weil as the main charactedsties of the plan. 5 1. INTRODUCTION Planning the uses of land has been an area of cancern since lang time aga, while planning the uses of coastal areas is a rather new activity. Historically however coastal zones throughout the world have been intensively used because of their rich resources and good oportunities for various activities. Already in the 16th century attempts were made to regulate the fishing rights of the sess. And quite recently the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seal UNCLOS, . attained the sixtieth ratification and it will thus entry into force on the 16 November 1994. This convention establishes a comprehensive framework for the regulation of all open ocean space and its resources. Another important milestone in the management of coastal zones is the United Nations Conference on Environment and Oevelopmerit, UNCEO, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in , 1992. In chapter 17 of Agenda 21 "Programme of action for sustainable development", the urgent need for coastal states to develop capabilities for integrated coastal zone • management and to implement"ational programmes were adressed. The World Coast Conference in the Netherlands 1993 generated materials arid stimulated discussions on integrated coastal zone management. Coastal and marine management issues will also come up on the UNCEO follow up conference, which will be held in Washington OC in 1995. The stress on the coastal zone and its resources is continously increasing. It is printed out (UNCEO) that six out of ten people will live within 60 km from the coastline the year 2000. To meet this challenge national capacity-building has to be stimulated and inter­ national co-operation and co-ordination has to be strengthened. As coastal populations have increased and, as technology has developed substantially, the exploitation of the coastal zone has becomemore.intense. The implications of the present trends of utilization are considerable. There are now many conflictirig uses competing for coastal space and resources. For this reason the demands on a more methodological or planned use of eoastal resources has become necessary and it has induced new claims on responsible authorities to develop management strategies for a • more balanced use of coastal land and water and its resources. It also means that central, as weil as regional and local authorities must be integrated in the management work. In the physiCal planning process different demands are treated Le. from urban settle­ ments, construction of harbours, coastal fisheries and aquaculture to nature conser­ vancy. The impacts of these activities must be analysed and considered in relation to environmental objectives. The physical planning process gives a general view and context over demands and problems. It makes a preventive environmental proteetion possible and it can be an important tool to create an environmentally sound infrastructure and use of the coastal zone. The comprehensive physical plans interact in different ways with other sectorplans and hereby they have a co-ordinating

  • Digging Worms for Remediation of Sediments Impacted by Mussel Farms
    Digging worms for remediation of sediments impacted by mussel farms A report from project Hav möter Land Klima vatten samfundsplanlæging sammen Rapportnummer: 34 Rapportnummer hos Länsstyrelsen: 2013:80 ISSN: 1403-168X Författare: Marianne Holmer, Marita Carlsson, Per Bergström, Jens Kjerulf Petersen Utgivare: Hav möter Land, Länsstyrelsen i Västra Götalands län Omslagsfoto: Claes Hillén Rapporten finns på www.havmoterland.se Dansk resumé Opdræt af muslinger vil påvirke bunden under opdrætsanlæggene gennem den organiske berigelse fra sedimenterende fækalier og muslinger, der falder af. Denne uønskede berigelse af sedimenterne resulterer i forøget iltforbrug, udsivning af næringssalte som ammonium og fosfat samt akkumulering af sulfid (Carlsson et al. 2009). Følgelig er biodiversiteten i sedimenter under opdrætsanlæg ofte lav og lavere end i kontrolområder. Gravende og dermed bioturberende børsteorme har potentiale til at stimulere omsætningen af de sedimenterende muslingefækalier på samme vis, som det er konstateret under fiskefarme (Heilskov et al. 2006, Sanz- Lazaro et al. 2011). Dermed forbedres sedimenternes assimilative kapacitet (Hargrave et al. 2008) og forhindrer eller reducerer forringelsen af sedimentforholdene. I dette studie har vi tilsat børsteormene Capitella sp., som er lille og tolerant overfor organisk berigelse, og Hediste diversicolor, som er større, men mindre tolerant overfor organisk berigelse, til sedimenter belastet med organisk materiale fra muslingeanlæg. Begge orme er arter hjemmehørende i Skandinavien og H. diversicolor er potentielt en kommercielt interessant art, da den bruges af lystfiskere som agn (Bischoff et al. 2009). I undersøgelsen blev der tilsat orme i forskellig tæthed til sedimenter i felten henholdsvis under og udenfor et opdrætsanlæg, og efter 5 uger blev sedimentets iltoptagelse, fluxe ind og ud af næringssalte og sulfidpuljerne målt.

  • Falköpingsbolag Får Uthållighetspris
    Sida 1 (2) Solna 2011-10-13 Falköpingsbolag får uthållighetspris Friggeråkers Verkstäder i Falköping, som tillverkar sand- och saltspridare, tilldelas Soliditet Diamond Award eftersom bolaget haft högsta kreditbetyg AAA (Trippel-A) i 20 år. Hela åtta västgötabolag tilldelas priset, vilket är mer än dubbelt så många som i något annat län. Förutom de egentillverkade sand- och saltspridarna, som säljs under varumärket Falköping, är Friggeråkers återförsäljare av sopmaskiner från två olika leverantörer. Bolagen är vant vid olika typer av utmärkelser. I februari tog Friggeråkers VD Christer Friggeråker emot pris på vinterväghållningsmässan NordicWay 2011 i Östersund. De bolag i Västra Götaland som tilldelas Soliditet Diamond Award 2011 är: Tingstad Papper, Grimbo Elektriska och Prioritet Inkasso i Göteborg, Elkontakt i Lysekil, Friggeråkers verkstäder i Falköping, Åke Fernmo AB i Mariestad, Götes Fastighetsservice i Stenungsund och Hjo Byggnadsmaterial och glas i Hjo. ”Det är väldigt roligt att med Diamond Award få uppmärksamma dessa fina västsvenska företag. Även i fjol var det många bolag från Västra Götaland som utmärkte sig i Diamond Awards. För att komma med i ”diamantklubben” räcker det inte med att växa snabbt eller redovisa hög lönsamhet under enstaka år. De här företagen har uppvisat topprestationer under två decennier och är därför näringslivets maratonlöpare”, säger Soliditets VD Patrik Attemark. Soliditet är Nordens ledande kredit- och affärsinformationsföretag och kreditrankningen, där AAA är högsta betyg, ligger varje år till grund för över 2 miljoner kreditbeslut. Soliditet Diamond Award inrättades 2009. Bara 3 procent av Sveriges aktiva företag har högsta kreditbetyg AAA. Sannolikheten att få och sedan behålla kreditbetyget AAA under 20 år är endast 1,35 procent.

    Marine Spatial Planning From a municipal perspective Authors Roger Johansson Frida Ramberg Supervisors Marie Stenseke Andreas Skriver Hansen Master’s thesis in Geography with major in human geography Spring semester 2018 Department of Economy and Society Unit for Human Geography School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg Student essay: 45 hec Course: GEO245 Level: Master Semester/Year: Spring 2018 Supervisor: Marie Stenseke, Andreas Skriver Hansen Examinator: Mattias Sandberg Key words: Marine Spatial Planning, municipalities, knowledge, sustainable development Abstract Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) aims to, through physical planning of the marine areas, contribute to a sustainable development where various interests can get along. This master thesis concerns Marine Spatial Planning from a municipal perspective in Sweden. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how MSP is performed on a municipal level. In order to investigate this the thesis has been structured into three themes; The work with marine spatial planning, Marine spatial planning and synergies between marine and terrestrial areas and lastly, Environment and growth in marine spatial planning. It is important to remember that the core theme throughout the thesis; The work with marine spatial planning is interlinked with the other themes and that all of them permeate each other in the municipalities work with MSP. The mixed methods applied to answer the aim in the thesis are semi-structured informant interviews with planners and project leaders of a selection of municipalities and a survey sent to all Swedish coastal municipalities. The results show that cooperation and collaborations are an important part in the work with MSP for several municipalities.

  • Local Acceptance and Communication As Crucial Elements for Realizing CCS in the Nordic Region
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 86 ( 2016 ) 315 – 323 The 8th Trondheim Conference on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage Local acceptance and communication as crucial elements for realizing CCS in the Nordic region a* b Jacob Kielland Haug , Peter Stigson aSINTEF Energy Research, P.O. Box 4761 Sluppen, NO-7465 Trondheim, Norway bIVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Valhallavägen 81, SE-114 27 Stockholm, Sweden Abstract The purpose of this paper was to assess the Nordic situation with regard to carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment at the local level. This was done by identifying important factors found in the literature on community acceptance and communication and relating this to possible CCS deployment in the Skagerrak region. The analysis was complemented with findings from interviews made with municipalities in the three countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway). The results show that the possibilities to store CO2 offshore may be a clear advantage for the Nordic region and that Porsgrunn municipality in Norway display very positive attitudes towards existing and potential CCS activities, which stands in contrast to the many public acceptance challenges experienced in Europe. Moreover, the municipalities display very different awareness about CCS, which is seen in relation to CCS experiences and national policies. © 20162015 The Authors.

  • National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation
    Description of the Government Bill 2017/18:163 National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation The main content of the bill The bill proposes two changes to the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) with the aim of improving municipalities’ preparedness for climate change. One of these changes involves a requirement for municipalities to provide their views in their structure plans on the risk of damage to the built environment as a result of climate-related flooding, landslides and erosion, and on how such risks can be reduced or eliminated. The other change involves the municipality being able to decide in a detailed development plan that a site improvement permit is required for ground measures that may reduce the ground’s permeability and that are not being taken to build a street, road or railway that is compatible with the detailed development plan. The Government also reports on a National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation in order to strengthen climate change adaptation work and the national coordination of this work in the long term. The strategy was announced in the Government’s written communication ‘Kontrollstation för de klimat- och energipolitiska målen till 2020 samt klimatanpassning’ (‘Control station for the 2020 climate and energy policy objectives and climate change adaptation’, Riksdag Communication 2015/16:87). Through the strategy, the Government also meets its obligations in accordance with the Paris Agreement and the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, in which a national climate change adaptation strategy is highlighted as a central analytical instrument that is intended to explain and prioritise actions and investments.
