Pressures and the future MSSD ICZM Protocol ICZM Strategy CAMP

Pressures and Future Coastal urbanisation!! Tourism!! rapid expansion, "litoralisation" phenomena, demography demographic trends (in 2000 274 mio; S & E 100 mio 2000-2025, 31 mio in c.a.; 75% (380 mio) in urban a. by 2025) Tourism!! 637 mio tourists in 2025, 273 mio more than in 2000 Water consumption Pollution/Waste Reduction of biological diversity Soil erosion and desertification Environmental risks due to climate change Threats to cultural identity and landscapes

MSSD Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development Overall SD Strategy, adopted in Nov 2005 Four major objectives Increasing economic development Reduce social deficits Change unsustainable production and consumption patterns and manage natural resources sustainably End irreversible degradation of public goods, reduce vulnerability to natural risks

Seven priority fields of action 7. Promoting sustainable management of the sea and coastal zones, and urgently stopping the degradation of coastal zones Objectives: preventing and reducing pollution from ships and risks of accidents reducing pollution from land-based sources promoting sustainable fisheries and aquaculture protecting marine and coastal biodiversity promoting more integrated development and management of coastal areas and prevention of risks

Orientations and actions: adoption of ICZM protocol by 2007, and implement ICZM strategy adoption of coastal zone laws by countries before 2012, creation of mechanisms and instruments for coastal management by 2012 promotion of integrated management approaches and projects / capacity building assess the vulnerability to natural and technological risks (risk plans by 2010) promotion of the role of islands make best use of Euro-Mediterranean SMAP

Desired changes and outcomes- VISION Strategic objectives to catalyse (mainstreaming activities, complementarities and synergy, durable financing ) to develop (define priorities, best practices) to communicate (communication mechanisms, participation) to implement (capacity, local level) For each strategic component principles objectives action programme timetable means for implementation roles and responsibilities

CAMP Projects to solve priority CM related problems One of the main programmes of MAP Non-commercial projects Promoting SD and ICAM Co-operating with & assisting countries: to solve priority CM related problems to introduce ICAM and tools Implementation: national teams and international experts - RACs Co-ordinated by PAP/RAC

Compulsory components Participatory programme Vertical and horizontal co-ordination Involvement of stakeholders Integration of sea and land use Capacity building (training) Raising awareness
