Abstract

The North Sea has been and still is one of the most intensely used marine areas worldwide. Shipping (trade and private), the exploration/exploitation of energy resources (oil, gas and wind), fisheries and tourism compete for the scarce space (Holm et al. 2017). Especially, in German waters, resource-use conflicts rise between stakeholders.

This project is a contribution to the Earth System Knowledge Platform (ESKP) and was funded by the Helmholtz Association (Berlin, Germany). The first workshop was part of the “Events in Europe” of the European Maritime Day 2016 in Turku and endorsed with information material and publicity.

We would like to thank all workshop participants for sharing their opinion, expertise and profound knowledge, and for bringing up new starting points for future cooperation, research on and strategies for climate adaptation. Furthermore, we are grateful to the invited speakers sharing their research results.

Special thanks go to Dr Gesche Krause for assisting in organizing and moderating the first workshop as well as being a good source of information and guidance on all aspects of the this knowledge transfer project.
