3 Background Information Basic facts on Marine Waters The Lithuanian maritime space is delimited by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania of 6 December, 2004, No and includes internal waters, territorial waters, the exclusive economic zone, the sea bottom and the soil underneath, as follows: Internal waters (lagoons not included): about 35 km2 Territorial waters (12-nm zone): about km2 Exclusive economic zone including adjoining zone: about km2 Lithuania has one of the shortest shorelines among European countries. i Marine area borders are Latvia in the North, the Russian Federation in the South (Kaliningrad oblast) and Kingdom of Sweden in the West. The nearshore area within a 20 m water depth is part of the Coastal Strip. Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) authorities and legislation General According to Art. 47 of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, the exclusive right for the Lithuanian maritime space belongs to the Republic of Lithuania (i.e. owned by the state). Current governance of the sea space is defined by legal acts relating to the use of the sea space and responsibilities of the Republic of Lithuania as stipulated in international legal acts in which it participates. The Comprehensive Plan of the Territory of the Republic of Lithuania is complemented by marine spatial solutions adopted on 11 June 2015 by Seimas (the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania) Resolution No XII MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania - September 2018
4 Planning on national level There are more than 20 legal acts (laws and governmental resolutions guiding the use of the sea space). MSP is included into the Law on Territorial Planning, 2014 MSP applies to the entire marine area of Lithuania including territorial waters and the EEZ. The UN Law of the Seas is implemented in national legislation on Exclusive Economic Zone. It specifies sectoral laws, which are implemented on EEZ. National MSP authority Details Ministry of the Environment: Territorial Planning, Urban Development and Architecture Department; Spatial Planning Division The Republic of Lithuania is a signatory state of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. There are more than 20 legal acts (laws and governmental resolutions guiding the use of the sea space. The maritime spatial planning (MSP) in Lithuania is included in the national legislation regulating spatial planning - Law on Territorial Planning and its secondary legal acts. The revised Law on Territorial Planning adopted on 27 June 2013, which came into force on 1 January 2014, includes stipulations on the sea space planning. The same stands at different levels of planning are included into the Rules for Preparation of Complex Territorial Planning Documents (adopted by the Minister of Environment Order No. D1-8 on 2 January 2014) as an executive legal act, following the revised Law on Territorial Planning. Part of the marine space (up to 20 m Isobath) also falls under the regulation of the Law of the Coastal Strip. Basing on the stipulations of national legal acts, Lithuanian marine territories were planned while extending the existing Comprehensive Plan of the Territory of the Republic of Lithuania by one more part Marine territories, which included marine spatial solutions for the Lithuanian territorial waters and the EEZ. General applicability (e.g. territorial Sea, EEZ, other distinctions) MSP applies to the entire marine area of Lithuania including territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Progress The Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania (and its part Maritime territories ) is adopted. The planning solutions are obligatory for implementation since making public (following the legal requirements) the information on adoption of the Plan. The plan is as an extension of the terrestrial spatial plan. Overview of MSP-related uses and issues Current uses: a relatively small area accommodates four main navigation routes, the multipurpose deep-water port of Klaipėda, the port of Šventoji, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Natura 2000 sites, the oil terminals in Būtingė and Klaipėda, offshore military polygons, near shore fishery bars and offshore fishing areas. ii Future uses: planned underwater high voltage electricity link to Sweden. Recently, certain areas have been investigated for offshore wind energy developments and reserved for sand extraction purposes. iii MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania August
5 Issues: nature protection and recreation Main spatial conflicts on the sea are most often identified between nature protection, maritime traffic, oil extraction and fishing. 3 MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania - September 2018
6 Maritime Spatial Plans Existing Maritime Spatial Plans There exists one plan, the Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania (and its part Maritime territories ). Pilot plans or projects Not legally binding: NB: The Pilot MSP developed within BaltSeaPlan resulted in a statutory MSP process. BaltSeaPlan Findings ( ): MSP Pilot project i.a. in the Lithuanian Sea guidelines, stakeholder involvement PartiSEApate ( ): Pilot case area i.a. Lithuanian Sea with Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden and Russia Maritime Spatial Plan: The Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania (and its part Maritime territories ) There exists the Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania (and its part Maritime territories ). There is no information about involved sectors so far. Legal basis The plan is a legally binding document: Legal impact Obligatory for the state governmental institutions, taking decisions on national level, related to the use, management and protection of the territory of the country, forming regional policy, spatial integrated maritime policy; Forms planning conditions for national level special plans, long term programmes and strategies, lower level comprehensive and special plans; Development of strategies of economy sectors, other strategic plans and programmes of state institutions have to rest upon solutions of the Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania. iv The plan has been adopted in 11 June 2015 by Seimas (the Parliament) of the Republic of Lithuania Resolution No XII It serves as a legal basis for protection and use of the sea space as well as for the further development of regulatory framework for different sea uses. Area covered The Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania, part Maritime territories, covers the entire maritime area of Lithuania including territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone. It is important to admit, that after complementing the Comprehensive Plan by the part Maritime territories, this document comprises now both terrestrial and sea space planning solutions in one document. During the elaboration of the project, a set of relevant maps has been prepared: (Maritime) Spatial development concept and functional priorities of the territory; Economic activity development (including its prioritisation); MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania August
7 Ensuring ecological balance and preserving the cultural heritage; Technical infrastructure development; Areas reserved for the national needs; Regional policy (covering near shore zone mainly). Map: Scale: 1: Historic development Based on the Seimas Resolution (2011), preceded by the decision of the Government, the Programme for the Project of complementing the Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania by the part Maritime territories was prepared in 2011 by the Planning Organizer (MoE/LT) and after its approval by the Interministerial Commission for Reconciliation of Strategies, Plans and Programmes of Economy Fields, was adopted by the Order of the Minister of Environment. TOR was prepared and Consultant team for preparing the Plan was selected in open competition. The drafting of the territorial planning document was started in December 2011 and the final document adopted by the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania in 11 June Objectives of the plan The objectives of planning were: to ensure the transparent, known in advance conditions of the use of the territory in whole of the state and in the space under responsibility of the Republic of Lithuania and to implement a consequent planning of land and sea territory in one document. Extending the existing (mainly a terrestrial) plan, supplementing it with marine spatial solutions allowed to create preconditions for development of maritime economic activities in need of the sea space and for sustaining a good status of the marine environment, also providing necessary territorial regulations for safeguarding cultural heritage in the sea. Main objectives of the plan were: 1. to maintain equilibrium between economic and ecological development, create conditions for territorial cohesion, sustainable development of the territory of the state, coherent spatial functional integration policy implementation, solving in complex way of territory-related problems and tasks; 5 MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania - September 2018
8 2. to form a healthy and harmonious environment for creating better living conditions in the whole state; 3. to form a common integrated policy of development of different fields of activity; 4. to protect, restore and rationally use resources of nature and recreation, values of natural and cultural heritage; 5. to reserve territories for infrastructure and for other development needs of various kind of activities in the maritime territories; 6. to promote investments for economic development, preserving and restoration of values of natural, cultural heritage and recreational resources; 7. to reconcile the interests of natural and legal entities, municipalities and state as well as rights of subjects of international law with regard to the use of the maritime territories, under the exclusive rights of the Republic of Lithuania for the air space over its territory, bed and subsoil, her continental shelf, Exclusive Economic Zone. Designated uses / areas The plan serves as a principal framework for further planning and regulation of particular economic activities. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) A complete SEA for the MSP was elaborated including national and transnational consultations with Lithuanian stakeholders as well as with Sweden and Latvia. Public Participation In all stages of planning process the information was made public and the materials of the plan were publicly available on the webpage of the Planning organizer the Ministry of Environment. Additionally, the Plan was publically presented during national and international conferences and specific public hearings have been organized in order to inform about the Plan. Information on planning was also made public through the mass media. Transboundary Consultation Transboundary consultations were conducted with Latvian stakeholders and relevant information was sent to the Ministry of Environment in Latvia. The SEA study was of a transboundary character and therefore followed the pattern of cross-border consultations as well. Sweden was involved into the transboundary SEA procedures. Harmonisation with other plans It was achieved through planning conditions and consideration of the procedure. The Inter-ministerial Commission for Reconciliation of Strategies, Plans and Programmes of Economy Fields and Interministerial Experts working group have been involved through all the period of the Plan elaboration. A regular procedure of planning documents approval (by sending to relevant institutions for consideration) was performed basing on legal requirements. All the relevant planning documents have been taken into account while preparing the plan. At the same time - according to the hierarchy of the planning documents in Lithuania the Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania is of top priority setting the pre-conditions for other plans to be developed. Monitoring & Review The monitoring of the territorial planning document is to proceed as defined under the Law on Territorial Planning of the Republic of Lithuania. MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania August
9 A copy of the MSP was sent to the European Commission (while implementing Directive 2014/89/EU of European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014, establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning, Art. 14 requirement). Electronic resources The maps, SEA study and the text (in Lithuanian) are available on the website of the Ministry of Environment ( 7 MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania - September 2018
10 Aspects of the MSP process Ecosystem-based approach (EBA) The Comprehensive Plan of the Republic of Lithuania (and its part Maritime territories ) was developed according to the terrestrial spatial legislation. The law does not include ecosystem approach, however, the MSP highlights importance of natural conditions and biodiversity values. The MSP emphasises importance of ecological balance, stability, use of natural framework for planning. The natural framework is based on properties of marine landscapes, distribution of most valuable sites for biological diversity, sedimentation and hydrodynamic conditions, i.e. elevations, depressions and slopes, nearshore of Curonian spit and mainland coast. Several geomorphological zones are distinguished: Nearshore; Klaipėda-Ventspils and Curonian-Sambian plateaus; Gdansk and Gotland basins and their slopes. The most valuable elements of biodiversity are macro algae habitat on the stony bottoms Furcellarialumbricalis); fish of commercial importance cod, herring, sprat and flounder; migrating and wintering birds, especially duck (Clangula hyemalis) and scoter (Melanitta fusca); four species of marine mammals: seals and propoises. During the development of MSP, there have been discussions of new/expansion of Natura 2000 territories. The debate was possible due to ongoing research and new data on biological values in marine areas. Land-sea interactions Before the new legislation on MSP, Lithuania had the Law on Coastal Zone (2002) that was taken into account in planning. The Law on Coastal Zone is aiming at preservation of the coastal zone, to ensure sustainable use of coastal resources and to provide public access to recreational resources. Land-sea interactions have been addressed for specific sectors: Wind power development was related to the potential of connectivity of the grid system. Shipping routes were linked to the expansion of ports. Regarding environmental protection, a network of the Natura 2000 areas in coastal zones was established. Coherence with other processes Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Lithuanian s elaboration of Programme of Measures (PoMs) have been finished by 2015 ( Programme of measures under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive have been prepared on the basis of assessments of the current state of the marine environment established for the environmental objectives of the Baltic Sea environment. In order to achieve the goals the Government of the Republic of Lithuania approved the Program of Water Field Development in and its action plan, where is determined mentioned measures ( Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) In recent years Lithuanian coastal zone management policy could be characterized by a very positive breakthrough. The Law of the Coastal Zone was adopted by the Lithuanian Parliament on July 2, It MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania August
11 was followed by the National ICZM Programme, which was approved by the Ministry of Environment in September Such radical measures were taken after series of devastating erosion events on the Lithuanian coast. Particularly devastating was the hurricane Anatole of December 1999 which had nearly swept away the beaches along the entire coastal zone of this country. v Strategic Environmental Assessment Environment Impact Assessment is compulsory for all major offshore investments. Stakeholder Involvement The MSP was planned in two main steps concept development and the spatial solutions. Direct stakeholder meetings were held during the concept development step and when spatial solutions were developed. The official public consultation was on the concept phase, including the scoping of SEA. The draft reports on spatial solutions and SEA were also published and available for comments. In January 2013, the first round of public consultation was carried out at first on the concept of the MSP (including 2 alternatives); Scoping results from SEA of the MSP concepts. The documents were also available for display in the Klaipeda University and at the Ministry of the Environment. Special public event was held with NGOS on , public authorities on The comments had to be sent by 31 January The final concept was published in 9-12 September In January 2013, the first round of public consultation was carried out at first on the concept of the MSP (including 2 alternatives); Scoping results from SEA of the MSP concepts. The documents were also available for display in the Klaipeda University and at the Ministry of the Environment. Special public event was held with NGOS on , public authorities on The comments had to be sent by 31 January The final concept was published in February 2013 during a meeting with Klaipeda port authority. Trans-boundary cooperation Within the EU projects BaltSeaPlan and PartiSEApate, cross-border consultation took part between Germany, Latvia and Lithuania and/or Poland and Sweden. Transboundary consultations were conducted with Latvian stakeholders and relevant information was sent to the Ministry of Environment in Latvia. The SEA study was of a trans-boundary character and therefore followed the pattern of cross-border consultations as well. Sweden was involved into the trans-boundary SEA procedures 9 MSP Country Information Profile Lithuania - September 2018
