| Popis: | This chapter is divided into three parts. Sections 23.1–23.5 introduce the typical fields of application of marine geographic information systems. It begins with the application and the conflicts of using the sea for, e.g., energy production and transport, versus environmental protection. Furthermore, the methodology of GIS-based analyses in the marine context and the special conditions of research and work in this field are considered, including aspects of data, data acquisition, data modeling, data banking, standardization, and harmonization. Then, this part continues with specific applications such as the maritime spatial planning process and integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), plus examples in the field of emergency response to pollution. One power user of marine GIS techniques is commercial shipping. Sections 23.6–23.9 describe the nautical and hydrographic aspects of the topic. The subject of Sect. 23.10 is the conjunction between geostatistics and geographical information systems in the GIS-based ecoregionalization of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to constitute a new information layer with the help of spatial interpolation as the basis for a maritime spatial planning process. |
