NORTH SEA PROGRAMME
The North Sea Programme area includes the whole of Denmark, and parts of Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK bordering the North Sea from Essex northwards. For full details please click to view the map and list of eligible areas.
The strategy for the North Sea Programme addresses the following issues:
-
developing spatial development strategies to promote the integration of the North Sea Region into Europe;
- developing and maintaining sustainable communications externally and within the Region to maintain the Region’s position between the core metropolitan areas and the more peripheral regions of northern Europe;
- creative development to safeguard and promote the Region’s valuable heritage;
- understanding and managing the natural and industrial marine resources in the North Sea and developing spatial development strategies to reconcile conflicting demands and pressures on land use and the sea;
- developing integrated spatial development and water resource management strategies to address problems of water supply and quality, flooding and drought and sea level rises.
