Blue growth is a relatively new policy of EU enhancing sustainable use of the sea resources. The relation between blue growth and maritime spatial planning (MSP) are not obvious. Both belong to a class of EU policies and both cover the sea space. Since maritime spatial planning in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) has recently gained its momentum, the maritime spatial planners face the challenge of incorporating the concept of the blue growth into their planning processes. This paper facilitates this task by providing a comprehensive information on the international projects executed by the maritime spatial planners and the relations of those projects to the concept of the blue growth. This is important in order to capitalize on what has been achieved so far. However, it seems that has been so far no single “planning project” focusing exclusively on the blue growth and this growth has been tackled in such projects rather at ad hoc and non-systematic manner. Thus, the research on relations between MSP and blue growth seems to be still pending. Possible directions of its development are suggested in the final part of the paper.

Niebieski wzrost to stosunkowo nowa polityka UE. Jego celem jest zrównoważone wykorzystanie zasobów morskich. Relacja pomiędzy niebieskim wzrostem i planowaniem przestrzennym obszarów morskich (MSP) nie są oczywiste. Obie kategorie należą do klasy polityk UE i dotyczą przestrzeni morskiej. Jako że planowanie przestrzenne obszarów morskich w regionie Morza Bałtyckiego (BSR) zyskało ostatnio na znaczeniu, morscy planiści przestrzenni stoją przed wyzwaniem włączenia koncepcji błękitnego wzrostu do swoich procesów planistycznych. Niniejszy artykuł ma im ułatwić to zadanie, dostarczając kompleksowych informacji na temat międzynarodowych projektów realizowanych przez morskich planistów przestrzennych i sposobów uwzględnienia w nich koncepcji błękitnego wzrostu. Chodzi o to by budować na tym co już zostało osiągnięte. Jak dotąd nie było jednak ani jednego projektu planistycznego poświęconego wyłącznie niebieskiemu wzrostowi. Koncepcja ta była raczej osadzana w tych projektach na zasadzie ad hoc i w sposób wybiórczy. Tak więc badania relacji i związków między MSP i błękitnym wzrostem wydają się oczekiwać bardziej wnikliwego podejścia . Możliwe kierunki ich rozwoju są sugerowane w końcowej części artykułu.

Based on measurements of waves and currents obtained for a period of 302 days with a bottom-mounted RDCP (Recording Doppler Current Profiler) at two differently exposed locations, a model for significant wave height was calibrated separately for those locations; in addition, the Gulf of Riga-Väinameri 2D model was validated, and the hydrodynamic conditions were studied. Using wind forcing data from the Kihnu meteorological station, a set of current, water exchange and wave hindcasts were obtained for the period 1966-2011. Current patterns in the Gulf and in the straits were wind-dependent with characteristic wind switch directions. The Matsi coast was prone to upwelling in persistent northerly wind conditions. During the hindcast period, currents increased along the Ko~iguste coast and in the Suur Strait, waves decreased noticeably off Ko~iguste but fluctuated without a clear linear trend near Matsi. The spatially contrasting results for differently exposed coasts were related to the corresponding variations in local wind conditions and to changes in atmospheric circulation patterns over northern Europe.

The objective of the paper is to document and examine the major upwelling event that occurred along the northern coast of Estonia in August 2006. With a horizontal extension of 360 km, the event was caused by persistent easterlies and was noticed by a large number of holidaymakers, as it turned the temperature of the coastal sea to a chilly 5-10°C for about a month. In situ measurements from an RDCP current profiler revealed an along-wind coastal jet of up to 60 cm s-1 and a weak near-bottom countercurrent. The depths of the pycnocline and nutricline rose. The maximum drop in water temperature was 16°C, that of salinity was 3.6 PSU. Analysis of satellite images confirmed the large extension and the prominence of the event.
