  1. OURCOASTa European initiative to support ICZM in Europe by Maria Ferreira Coastal & Marine Union (EUCC)

  2. Background European Commission & ICZM • 1996-1999 ICZM Demonstration Programme • Recommendation (2002) and 8 ICZM Principles • ICZM National Strategies (2006) and Rupprecht Evaluation • OURCOAST: Exchange of experiences

  3. Service Contract: € 1 million budgetExchange of Experiences and Comparative Analysis for ICZMContractor: ARCADIS (NL)Sub-contractors: Arcadis BE, Arcadis DE, Coastal & Marine Union (EUCC)Jan 2009 – Dec 2011(Inception Report - May, 2009) TENDER

  4. OBJECTIVES • Identify ICZM planning practices and give structured summaries of each case (350) • Publicly accessible, multi-lingual data base of cases • Comparative analysis of ICZM planning experiences • Analysis of relevant policies and implementation tools • Formulate guidance for future ICZM projects and a set of recommendations • Widespread multi-lingual dissemination (10 languages) Special emphasis on the Baltic region

  5. Eight Themes (adaptation to risk, sustainable use of resources and sustainable economic growth) 6 Key approaches (Integration, Participation, Knowledge-based, Ecosystem-based, Socio-economic, Technical) 350 cases studies in the form of 2 page English summaries. Good geographical coverage with appropriate validation mechanisms and quality assurance. CASE STUDIES

  6. Adaptation to risk: Managing impacts of climate change and safeguarding resilience of coasts / coastal systems Preventing and managing hazards (natural and human-induced) Integrating coherent strategies covering risk into planning and investment Examples: Themes (1/3)

  7. Sustainable use of resources: Preserving coastal environment (its functioning and integrity) to share space Sound use of resources and promotion of less resource intensive processes / products Examples: Themes (2/3)

  8. Sustainable Economic Growth Developing sustainability at a regional seas level (maritime basins) Balancing economic, social, cultural development whilst enhancing environment and managing impacts from coastal activities Improving competitiveness Examples: Themes (3/3)

  9. Key Approaches Integration Participation Knowledge-based Eco-systems based Socio-economic Technical Key Approaches

  10. The cases should show the added value of ICZM (incl. River Basin Management) so that others may be able to use them directly or in a modified form. They should be:- Completed NOT on-going Programme NOT project Has been implemented BUT can be document/study if useful and implementable Policy /Instrument NOT research Aspects of ICZM but NOT MSP or fisheries Cases (criteria)

  11. Cases - examples… so far Belgium: 7 (11) Ex: The coordination centre for ICZM Denmark: 10 (11) Ex: Strategic environment assessment -national spatial plan France: 1 (40) Ex: Ecological compensations in Le Havre port Germany: (29) Ex: ICZM the Oder Estuary Region Ireland: 8 (21) Ex: Integrated Management Strategy in Cork Harbour Netherlands: 18 Ex: Managed realignment in Perkpolder Portugal: 5 Ex: Ecological restoration and governance models in a MPA Spain: 3 (32) Ex: Strategic Initiative for the ICZM of Cataluña Sweden: 9 Ex: Re-developing communities to adapt to impacts of climate change United Kingdom: 29 Ex: Application of Local Area Agreements in the Wash Estuary …..

  12. Case studies analysis: to compare different options and tools perTheme NOT to evaluate the actual performances Comparative analysis → EU-wide overview of the state-of-the-art by theme, success/fail factors & pre-conditions for successful application of specific policy options and tools

  13. Analysis of the most relevant EU policies and legislation: affect the implementation of ICZM to exemplify coordinated implementation to identify obstacles that hinder proper policy coordination in terms of planning and management EU Policies& Legislation

  14. development of guidance for authorities based in other WP outputs – optimal use of the conclusions guidance to be specific, substantial and realistic to help implementation of policies and legislation needs to include a consultation mechanism for end-users Formulation of Guidance

  15. Accessible through the EC EUROPA website Multilingual Official launch Spring 2010 http://ec.europa.eu/environment/iczm/ourcoast.htm WEBSITE & DATA-BASE

  16. Web-site on EUROPA official website Languages: DE, FI, PL, LV, FR, IT, ES, GR, RO, EN Leaflets, e-newsletters, brochures, posters to assist the transference of experiences Multi-lingual dissemination • Contact list of coastal stakeholders • Final stakeholders conference in Latvia, Autumn 2011

  17. Conclusions to be drawn from the results, e.g to sustain the results and products of the contract coastal planning and management support for implementation of EU policies identify policy or instrument gaps needs of coastal authorities policy at EU level Recommendations

  18. Your involvement ? If YOU would like to be kept informed about the developments of the project via the contact data-base and/or if you have suggestions or examples of successful tools for ICZM that might be of interest to us, then please contact me: Maria Ferreira m.ferreira@eucc.net THANK YOU!
