Technical details

From HELCOM workshop in Palanga and Networking Village during the EUSBSR Annual Forum in Riga, through the Baltic Sea Tourism Forum in Tallin to the Union of Baltic Cities General Conference in Palanga, the Partners of BaltSusBoating2030 had their calendars full to go with the Project’s results to the wider Baltic Sea community.

During the events the current state of work within Sustainability Roadmap and the Strategy-related outputs were confronted and consulted with various stakeholders, who showed a great interest to the topic and scope of the #BSB2030 initiative.

An informal workshop organised by HELCOM – Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission on the implementation of the HELCOM 2021 #BalticSea Action Plan related to recreational crafts, held on September 28, 2023 in Palanga was one of the inspiring events the BaltSusBoating 2030 project took part in.

Baltic Sea Action Plan serves as a vital policy framework that guides the project activities. During the workshop, the project partner – Council of the Baltic Sea States – presented the work-in-progress of the project and invited participants of the workshop to contribute to the development of Vision for Sustainable Boating in the Baltic Sea Region.

Sustainability of the Baltic boating, built around three main condensation points: sustainable boats, sustainable marinas and sustainable boaters’ (behaviors) was discussed with experts and audience of the Baltic Sea Tourism Forum in Tallin. The discussion was visually recorded by an incredible artist Carlotta Cataldi. Moreover, a dedicated survey by CBSS was launched to gather more inputs from a wider group of stakeholders.
