6.3.3 Conflict minimisation agreements and compensationFurther to zoning, it is also possible to define voluntary or binding guidelines to enable sectors to operateside by side with minimal conflicts. In Denmark, voluntary guidelines for the offshore wind sector havebeen developed to provide practical measures for reducing interferences, such as defined lightrequirements for Air Traffic Control, compensation calculations for fisheries and a requirement for farms tobe sited at least 200m from line of sign of a radio relay link. Germany has also included incidentalprovisions within the maritime spatial plan such as the use of non-glare materials and measures for noisereduction.As indicated, Denmark has defined compensation requirements for any loss of fishing ground to adevelopment, such as offshore wind. However, not all countries are comfortable in providing prescriptiveguidelines on compensation and the UK for example prefers to resolve issues through consultation.6.3.4 Consultation as a mechanism to manage conflictsEven in the cases where countries do not have specific mechanisms to manage conflicts in the maritimezone, public consultations in the context of Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs) for sectoral plansand Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) in the case of individual projects provide an opportunity forpotential conflicts to be highlighted and addressed. The effectiveness of this mechanism will depend onthe quality of the consultation as discussed in Section 5.Developers often find that it is useful to maintain dialogue with stakeholders throughout a project in orderto minimise conflicts or objections. For instance in Sweden there are examples of offshore winddevelopments that have maintained open communications with local residents by answering questionsand holding one-to-one meetings.6.4 RecommendationsBased on the criteria designed for assessing MSP progress and experiences of the different memberstates, it is possible to define characteristics of best practice in terms of sector conflict management:Government authorities and institutions representing different sectors are effectively coordinated;Information is effectively shared between sectors in a common format (see also Section 3: Dataand Information Management);Up-to-date maps available on the current and future anticipated use of the maritime zone (seealso Section 3: Data and Information Management);Legally-binding Maritime Zones (or clearly defined criteria) have been identified that define priorityand reserve zones, as well as decision rules for resolving conflicts. There is however flexibilitywithin the zoning by not ruling out developments outside of priority areas;Deliverable 2.338 | P a g e
Regular consultations are undertaken as part of a legally binding review of maritime spatial plansand zones;Accompanying sector guidelines exist for minimising conflicts. Some actions may be legally bindingwhere appropriate;Effective and active consultation carried out for overall Maritime Spatial Plans, sector plans andindividual projects (see also Section 5: Consultation);Stakeholders involved early in the process of developing a Maritime Spatial Plan.Possibility of compensation mechanismsThere is also a role for regional initiatives to support sector conflict management as many of these issueswill also be common to cross-boundary cooperation. In this sense the BaltSeaPlan project provides usefulpilot approaches to MSP and conflict resolution. However, these approaches need to be translated intonational legislation and policy to have significant impacts on managing sectoral conflicts.Deliverable 2.339 | P a g e
