Interreg V Botnia-Atlantica

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:

… AND SOME OTHER SUPPORTING STRUCTURES

• A COMMON LANGUAGE (SWEDISH)
• GEOGRAPHICAL CLOSENESS (4 HOURS BY FERRY, 20 MIN. BY AIR)
• CULTURAL SIMILARITIES IN GOVERNING & LAW
• DIFFERENT STRENGTHS = CROSSBOUNDARY WIN-WIN SITUATION

SeaGIS & SeaGIS 2 (Interreg IV & V)

Main aim (1st 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 (2nd 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).
