On 18 January 2012, a workshop was held at the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency in Amersfoort, The Netherlands for a presentation and discussion of the Dutch Indicative Mapping of the Archaeological Values (IKAW) and the applicability of the method and the approach in a marine wide Wadden Sea context. At the workshop participated experts from the LancewadPlan collaboration from Germany and The Netherlands, the Dutch agency and other experts.

The Wadden Sea Forum e.V. (WSF) in co-operation with EUCC – Die Küsten Union Deutschland e.V. (EUCC-D) maintains the Wadden Sea Region (WSR) Planning Portal, based on a GIS. This portal is an innovative application mapping the WSR including the EEZs of The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.

The Planning Portal has a focus on existing and partly planned activities in coastal and off-shore areas. It contains a wide range of uses, facilities and protection demands and is designed to meet the information needs of integrated management and marine spatial planning.
