ALMOST IDENTICAL ”STARTING POINT” • THE SAME NATURAL VALUES (SPECIES & BIOTOPES) • COMPARABLE ECOLOGICAL/ENVIRONMENTAL STATES (GES) • THE SAME PRESSURE & THREATS • THE SAME NEEDS (INVENTORIES, PROTECTION, RESTORATION) • IDENTICAL INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORK: Birds Directive MSP Directive Habitats Directive HELCOM & HELCOM MPA Water Framework Directive CBD/AICHI Marine Strategy Directive National Assessments … AND SOME OTHER SUPPORTING STRUCTURES • A COMMON LANGUAGE (SWEDISH) • GEOGRAPHICAL CLOSENESS (4 HOURS BY FERRY, 20 MIN.

SeaGIS & SeaGIS 2 (Interreg IV & V) Main aim (1 st phase): collect all available GIS data that can be used in planning and nature conservation from both Finland and Sweden, and combine it in an open, online GIS-service. Main aim (2 nd phase): address the most crucial data gaps, including HUB-biotopes and data on threats and pressures , and use the data to analyze conservation effectiveness, including areas of conflict. Strong connections to EU directives (incl. state & reporting) and policies (Blue Growth, ecosystem services), as well as national programs (for instance “Green infrastructure”/SWE).
