For the country's regional authorities, who are responsible for the country's North Sea area, sustainable exploitation of marine resources is important. New opportunities may also appear, as there currently is talk about phasing out oil- and gas rigs, which will results in new marine space to plan new activities. | For the country's regional authorities, who are responsible for the country's North Sea area, sustainable exploitation of marine resources is important.

Country Yellow's domestic case concerns planning for a scenario where oil- and gas rigs gradually are phased out over 10 years in favour of renewable energy forms. At the same time, there is competition with conservation efforts and shipping, which are both prioritized as well and cannot be compromised. A challenge at the moment is growth strategies in neighbouring countries, especially country Blue. | Country Yellow's domestic case concerns planning for a scenario where oil- and gas rigs gradually are phased out over 10 years in favour of renewable energy forms.

A challenge at the moment is growth strategies in neighbouring countries, especially country Blue. The country needs a new plan for its area, with special attention given to the needs of the following three sectors: | ||

The country needs to be mindful about international traffic at sea, both shipping lanes and passenger traffic (i.e. should not/cannot be changed). In addition, any national defensive needs must be left unchanged. Finally, attention needs to be paid to environmental conditions and ecological qualities in the area, e.g. wind speed, currents, various species, pressures, biodiversity, etc. that may affect marine activities. | |||
