In support of the project managers there is a group of specialist agencies whose role is to provide access to data and specialist knowledge which will be useful to the project.

 

Outcomes

The utilisation plan will be presented as a report on one hand and as a data-based utilisation zoning proposal on the other. It will also include a summary of the natural conditions and current uses of the area. The work and time of those preparing the plan is extremely valuable, although the outcomes many not immediately seem equally valuable. The work will support further co-operation and understanding among affected parties and therefore have a positive influence on the area‟s development. In the long-term, the work will also come to be of use to central government in its re-evaluation of the current system. The project outcomes will be presented on the project‟s website as it progresses.
