Latvia is preparing amendments to its Maritime Spatial Plan, in which one of the main topics is offshore wind energy. The amendments emphasize the possibility of multifunctional use of the sea, allowing several economic activities to be combined in one area, such as offshore wind farms and aquaculture.
It is planned to assess the interaction between the sea and the coast, spatially define blue-green infrastructure elements, and map ecosystem services.
Data collection and preparation of an environmental review are planned for 2025.
