Towards sustainable use of marine resources in the
south-eastern Baltic Sea (Lithuania): a review
Abstract. The article provides a consistent insight into the
results and experience related to the implementation of activities fostering
the development of marine economy in Lithuania. EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea
Region and the Blue Growth concept explicitly focuses on maintenance of the
good status of the marine environment of the European seas. Recently developed
Lithuanian integrated maritime spatial plan aims to create the favourable
conditions for sustainable development of marine economy, and particularly the
offshore wind energy. Proposed and tested innovative solutions for selection of
new disposal sites as well as handling the dredged soil in ports, contributes
to more environmentally sound and economically feasible operations of the
south-eastern Baltic Sea ports.
