Coastal Connect: Connecting Marinas Across the Baltic Sea for Sustainable Boating

The project aims to promote sustainable boating tourism in the Baltic Sea, balancing economic growth with environmental protection.

As leisure boating expands, it creates economic opportunities for local communities but also environmental risks, such as water pollution and habitat disruption. A coordinated, sustainable approach is essential for managing growth and preserving ecological integrity.

The project will establish a stakeholder network and conduct a needs assessment to identify challenges and opportunities. The partnership will develop practical tools for harbours and communities, promote lesser-known destinations, and update existing informational resources.
