Implementation of ICZM: results of the EU Progress Indicator Case Study compiled for EU-COMET 2 project Dr Alan Pickaver EUCC – The Coastal Union
A short history • 2002: The ICZM Recommendation • 2002: 1st ICZM Expert Group meeting establishment of the Working Group on Indicators and data (WG-ID) • 2003-04: WG-ID works on the design of 2 sets of indicators • One measuring progress in implementing ICZM (ICZM Progress indicator) • A set of 27 indicators to measure sustainable development of the coastal zone (the SD indicators) • April 2004: The ICZM Expert Group accepted the ICZM Progress Indicator
The Progress Indicator • The original Progress Indicator broke the GESAMP ICZM cycle into a workable number of pragmatic, component parts. • Each component was termed an Action Level and these Actions were grouped into Phases. • Following various tests using practitionners in England, Wales, Belgium, Holland and France changes were made and approved by the Expert Group in 2005. • The Progress Indicator now has 4 Phases and 31 Actions

Main conclusions • Indicator is a legitimate methodology. • The workshop as a mechanism to transfer knowledge on ICZM is highly recommended. However, other methods are valid. • It de-mistifies ICZM. • It allows bottlenecks to progress to be identified. • It can compare regions/countries. This is stilla sensitive area. • Presentations of results is highly flexible. • It does allow progress (or otherwise) to be observed.
Current developments Attempting to sub-divide the Actions and the Responses e.g. Public Participation 7 levels of Participation* Survey in CY, BE, DE, ES, FR, GR, IE, IT, NL, PO, PT, SW, UK *Arnstein, Sherry R. “A Ladder of Citizen Participation,” Journal American Planning Association 35, 216-224, 1969
The seven levels of participation Level 1 - all decisions are taken by government; Level 2 - committees for the main purpose of engineering support; Level 3 - informed but no channel for feedback; Level 4 - consultation i.e. opinions asked; Level 5 - advisory role where advice actually taken; Level 6 - real negotiation between stakeholders and decision-makers; Level 7 - decision-making delegated.
