Introduction

Thomas Dahlgren briefly introduces the major conflicting or overlapping activities (e.g. shipping and fishing) and how these can be dealt with

In the following videos we briefly introduce the major conflicting or overlapping activities (e.g., shipping and fishing) and how management can deal with these conflicts. A lot of effort in stakeholder communication is focused on environmental issues also reflected in this section.

The next lectures are all covering different aspects of environmental impact.
