Objectives and contents

Coastal areas need to be safeguarded through innovative management approaches, aimed at addressing peculiarities and issues they raise in a comprehensive perspective and at overcoming conflicts between sectoral uses. In this context, it became clear the need for innovative management models and instruments based on an integrated and participatory approach such as Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), and integrated monitoring and surveillance systems. These instruments are adaptive, dynamic and interdisciplinary processes, aimed to promote an integrated territorial approach for coastal zones’ planning and management and to overcome the current sectoral and conflictual approach in resources management. They are not merely environmental policy instruments, they are part of the wider context of the “blue growth” which aims at promoting sustainable development of marine and coastal areas, fostering systematic and structured cooperation processes between policy-makers in different sectors and at all levels of government. These policy instruments embrace all economic activities, which take place in the coastal areas and determine an impact on them. The project focuses on a few issues and approach such as fisheries, marine protected areas, biodiversity conservation, human right based approach.
