SEAZONE SUPPORTS CREATION OF LAND-SEA INTEGRATED REFERENCE DATA FOR THE NORTH SEA

SeaZone is collaborating with hydrographic offices and other organisations from Norway, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and United Kingdom on a 3 year European funded project to improve marine reference information for the North Sea. The title of the project - ‘Bringing Land and Sea Together (BLAST)’ -  aptly describes the project’s main aim, that is to harmonise and integrate terrestrial and marine geographic datasets to create a consistent reference base suitable for integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) and other purposes.  In addition, BLAST has a transnational challenge to incorporate maritime information from the sea areas of the different countries making up the North Sea Region to ensure this information can be readily combined to improve coordination and maritime safety.
