Book Description
Recent assessment of progress in coastal management at the national level shows an impressive growth of efforts after the 1992 Earth Summit, particularly in Europe and the Mediterranean. This book contains regional surveys of coastal management progress in Europe and the Mediterranean since 1992, discussion regional trends, development sin decision making, and cooperative activities. It then goes on to assess national progress towards coastal management, including the development of national coastal management systems, efforts at coordinated planning and management, and the development and use of environmental codes of practice. It then examines selected priority issues in the Northern Adriatic: economic integration and regional economic development, international scientific and technological cooperation in marine affairs and coastal tourism. Finally, the book covers the use of GIS in coastal environments and coastal engineering, the role played by scientific information in coastal policy, and the importance of free trade agreements.
Maritime Spatial Planning

Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license Maritime or marine spatial planning has gained increasing prominence as an integrated, common-sense approach to promoting sustainable maritime development. A growing number of countries are engaged in preparing and implementing maritime spatial plans: however, questions are emerging from the growing body of MSP experience. How can maritime spatial planning deal with a complex and dynamic environment such as the sea? How can MSP be embedded in multiple levels of governance across regional and national borders – and how far does the environment benefit from this new approach? This open access book is the first comprehensive overview of maritime spatial planning. Situated at the intersection between theory and practice, the volume draws together several strands of interdisciplinary research, reflecting on the history of MSP as well as examining current practice and looking towards the future. The authors and contributors examine MSP from disciplines as diverse as geography, urban planning, political science, natural science, sociology and education; reflecting the growing critical engagement with MSP in many academic fields. This innovative and pioneering volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of maritime spatial planning, as well as planners and practitioners. Jacek Zaucha is Professor of Economics at Gdánsk University, Poland. He is long experienced in maritime spatial planning, and is currently leading the team preparing the first plan for Polish waters. Kira Gee is Research Associate at the Centre for Materials and Coastal Research (Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht), Germany. She has been involved in MSP research and practice for over 20 years, and has participated in numerous national and transnational European MSP projects.

OPINION ON TOWARDS A EUROPEAN INTEGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT (ICZM) STRATEGY

Book Description
Though many of the EU's coastal zones face a variety of environmental threats, to date the EU has been slow in adopting specific legislation designed to tackle this pressing problem. Thankfully, the EU Communications on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) (2000 amp; 2007) advance a more prominent role for ICZM as a tool for environmental protection and sustainable development. As with any environmental tool, what is needed is a series of indicator for determining the effectiveness of ICZM. In 2002, further to powers delegated to local authorities under the Town and Country Planning Act (1990), East Riding of Yorkshire, UK, launched their Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Plan to address management of the coastal zone from Flamborough Head to the Humber Estuary. Despite recommendations from the European Commission to incorporate provisions to monitor and evaluate the process and the outcomes of ICZM initiatives, this receives little attention in the East Riding Plan; and the Action Plan, which should be reviewed annually, has remained unchanged since 2004. In order to address this issue, this article aims to develop a model series of measurable indicators to enable the East Riding of Yorkshire Council to practically monitor the effectiveness of their ICZM Plan. It draws on international best practice, primary research, questionnaires and communication with key stakeholders and experts, to formulate a series of indicators which provide a transparent and clearly justified method of quantifying and qualifying the ICZM process. 19 indicators, each with clear objectives and targets, are split under the headings of the 8 Principles of ICZM put forward in the Communication from the European Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (COM/00/547). The completed indicators provide valuable information and have the potential to feed directly into the ICZM Plan to overcome any shortcomings. If used in conjunction with existing state of the environment indicators, this indicator set will facilitate the complete evaluation of ICZM, and will be ideally placed to make sure ICZM efforts have long-term sustainability under EU and UK law.

Book Description
Coastal areas around the world are severely stressed due to a myriad of human activities and marine pollution. They are now detrimentally being affected by climate change and sea level rise as well. One major theater most acutely impacted by these phenomena is coastal South Asia, an overcrowded region with low adaptive capacities. Drawing on the experiences of coastal countries and regions beyond South Asia, Towards Sustainable Coastal Development: Institutionalizing Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Coastal Climate Change Adaptation in South Asia recommends operationalizing integrated coastal zone management and linking the same with coastal climate change adaptation under appropriately crafted coastal laws to facilitate a move towards sustainable coastal development.
