January 2017, No 006 Shom/DMI/NP Us: 1-3-6/250 Subject: Coastal Mapping. Dear Laurent, Thank you for your letter regarding the Coastal Mapping Project. I have been authorized to reply you on this issue. I apologize that I was not able to reply before the end of January, but since the stakeholder meeting is tomorrow then perhaps it is still possible to consider our feeling and first reaction as requested. The Maritime Administration of Estonia (MAE) understands the importance of the coastal mapping project and supports the idea of marine data availability for purposes of analysis to serve the aim of environmental protection, coastal zone management and economic development. MAE recognizes the wider need of marine data than just navigation and is involved in providing data for EMODnet, INSPIRE and other European and local projects. It is our opinion that the Coastal Mapping Project (CMP) should make use of the data available through sources like INSPIRE and EMODnet if that is technically possible and if the data is sufficient for CMP. If the data available in mentioned sources is not sufficient or is not technically possible to use in CMP then the data should be acquired from the source directly from National HO or other governmental organization as HO is not always the primary source of coastal data CMP is asking for. If there’s any questions regarding this subject, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
