Session description

Appropriate maritime spatial planning (MSP) guidelines are a key prerequisite for the rapid expansion of offshore wind energy in European waters.
Different approaches and initiatives that have been taken in the EU and beyond will be presented in this session.
Following the Communication on a Roadmap for Maritime Spatial Planning of November 2008, the European Commission has entered a stakeholder dialogue on the challenges and practical application of key principles for MSP.
This session will look at the key needs of the offshore wind sector with regards to MSP in Europe
