The “Expert Report on the Multi-Use of Space in the German Exclusive Economic Zone” study, currently conducted on behalf of the German Government, explores innovative ways to combine offshore marine activities, like offshore renewable energies, aquaculture, and fishing in the same geographical space. The study predominantly takes a spatial approach, consulting on the next round of MSP planning in Germany. The study encompasses an examination of the existing projects on ocean multi-use in the EU region and contemporary policy frameworks of selected states that allow for ocean multi-use, as well as, a comprehensive analysis of spatial, environmental, and socio-economic factors to identify viable multi-use scenarios. It includes stakeholder consultations to ensure the proposed solutions align with the needs and expectations of various marine users, aiming for sustainable and efficient resource use in the German EEZ.
