Welcome to the Nordic Forum on Marine Protected Areas in Marine Spatial Planning

The "Nordic Forum on MPAs in Marine Spatial Planning" was established in 2006 as an ad hoc working group of researchers, managers and representatives from different marine sectors to address a set of key questions relating to the use marine spatial planning in general, and marine protected areas (MPAs) in particular, as tools in ecosystem conservation and fisheries management in a Nordic context.

The purpose is to integrate, synthesise and disseminate knowledge from recent and developing Nordic activities, taking into account international experiences.

The work was supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers (Strategy on Environment and Fisheries, MiFi) for a three-year period.
