When the Ministers of Culture in the Baltic Sea States meet in St. Petersburg in December this year they will be presented with a final report on the development of the "Strategic Plan for Safeguarding and Developing the Common Baltic Sea Heritage". The main body responsible for this presentation is a Monitoring Group representing all member states with the commission and a mandate from the Ministers of Culture to enhance and develop cooperation concerning the Common Baltic Sea Cultural Heritage. One of the core items in this plan will be the proposal to hold a "Cultural Heritage Forum" every second year on a rotating basis in the member countries.
This first Forum was organised mainly within the theme "Coastal Culture" and so the Sea itself throughout history – its trade, shipping and fishery together with the living conditions for its sailors and tradesmen as well as its settlers and settlements were the main topics.
