  10. Key Challenges for a Sustainable North Sea • Managing Maritime Space; The North Sea is a very complex and open marine ecosystem, providing a nursery for fish and a migratory and wintering area for many species of birds. It is also one of the most heavily-used seas, supporting fishing, shipping, trade, energy, sand mining, defense and recreation. Increasing economic activity in the sea, such as growing shipping traffic and the development of offshore wind farms, is leading to more and more competition between users of the sea.

  11. Conclosion • NSR is an Engine in Europe • EU needs the NSR • NSRs have responsebility and needs a common vision/strategi, a NSR 2020 • Regions together is a base for influence on Regions, States and on EU-level • This is a opportunity, a challange. Use it !!!
