1 Marine spatial planning and its application in the marine energy field in France Frédéric Villers - CETMEF Centre d'études Techniques Maritimes Et Fluviales

2 The french context the 240 MW tidal farm in operation since 1966, La Rance (Brittany) Still no operational off shore wind farm 2

3 However... France has the second european off shore wind farm ressource (90TWh/yr) Many projects ready for application (EWA, 1989) 3

4 Recently, consistency of supportive messages from authorities Evironmental Round Table Oceans round table Objective 2020 : 23 % renewable energy, MW in marine energy Marine Energy : 6000 MW by 2020? ICOE 6 8 October 2010 Initiatives : IPANEMA National Technology Platform for Marine Renewable Energies 4

5 3 main measures: => support of the marine energy planning => commitment to a proactive industrial policy: regulatory enforcement to simplify processes and support investments, support the development of pilot sites, etc. => to boost the development and production of renewable energy in french overseas territories. 5

6 Marine spatial planning in France March 2009: governmental request for the prefects co-ordinators to identify favourable sites and carry out consultation meetings to deliver an action plan by the end of the year Focus : => On each coast, the process is ruled by a state authority (Maritime Prefect, regional prefects) directly in relation with the senior minister's office. 6

7 Methodology The planning process is ruled by the CETMEF, in collaboration with other institutes (CETE NC, CETE MED, IFREMER). 3 steps in the planning process: => «fish out» all types of data and update the ADEME-IFREMER 2007 similar study. => build a GIS tool available on line. => set up a Multicriteria Analysis Method to have interactive and dynamic consultation meetings. 7

8 Details study area up to 50 km from the coastline / 200 m depth. Planning divided in 3 areas: the Mediterranean coast, the Atlantic coast, the Channel and North coast. 8

9 Some results : Step 1 The objective is to create an exhaustive data base of all the technical, environmental and anthropogenic data available to visualize both the technical potential and the different pressures exerted on the coastal area. 9

10 Other pressures => at the end, more than 100 data were collected in all fields of interest. 10

11 Other pressures => at the end, more than 100 data were collected in all fields of interest. 11

12 Other pressures => at the end, more than 100 data were collected in all fields of interest. 12

13 Other pressures => at the end, more than 100 data were collected in all fields of interest. 13

14 Some results: Step 2 => All data were homogeneised at a national scale and hosted on the SEXTANT GIS data base. => All retrieved data can be visualised on a national scale and downloaded by WMS/WFS/ftp acces from SEXTANT. => Sextant is inter-operable with geolittoral, the MEDDMM geoportal. => Demo online 14

16 Consultation meetings : Step 3 => Ruled by regional and/or maritime prefects => Suitable areas issued by deduction to reach an agreement => Depending on the coast, different workshops focused on a field: environment, navigation safety, tourism, etc. => Objective : to have dynamic and interactive meetings with the different stakeholders. State authorities Local authorities scientists Consultation meetings : 5 different bodies Associations ICOE 6 8 October 2010 Professionals 16

17 Multicriteria analysis approach More than 100 layers collected Requirement to classify all data to have an understandable tool Significance level and associated colour to each data collected Stake Prohibitive Major Minor No stake ICOE 6 8 October 2010 Colour 17

21 Results : Atlantic coast Stake Prohibitive Data Environment (reserves, bedand seagrass, prefectorial biotope protection), landscape(some Listedsites), military (firezone, submarinezone, groundingzone, trainingzone, channels area, buoyingarea, aerial area), navigation(channels, cables, signalisation), radars (protection zones), economics (aggregate extraction) Major Environment (Natura2000at sea, MarineProtectedAreas, regional natural parks, reclamationsea plans), landscape(conservatoire dulittoral areas), Military (drop zone), economics (dredging) Minor Environment (inventories, RAMSAR, PELAGOS), radars (coordinationzones), economics (tourism, pleasurebuoys) Nostake / 21

22 Results : suitable areas 22

23 Conclusions This study enabled to gather an exhaustive data base along the french coastline. The visualization of all data is available to the civil society via the MEEDDM geoportal. During consultation meetings, the MAM turned out to be an efficient method to have dynamic meetings! In terms of suitable areas, around 750 km2 were preliminarly issued along the french coast. => Final suitable areas should be published soon. => Appeals should start by the end of the year. 23

24 Thanks for your attention! Any questions? Frédéric Villers: 0033 (0)
