Integrated Coastal Zone Management
INTERGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
– THE FACTS
ICZM addresses lack of knowledge, inappropriate and uncoordinated laws, a failure
to involve stakeholders and a lack of co-ordination between relevant administrative
bodies.
PRINCIPLES OF INTERGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT.
"Member States should furthermore adopt the principles of good coastal
zone management as identified in the Commission’s Demonstration Programme
on Integrated Coastal Zone management, namely that coastal zone management should
be based on:
1) A broad ‘holistic perspective’ (Thematic and Geographic)
2) A long term perspective
3) Adaptive management (responding to new information and conditions ) during
a gradual process
4) Local specificity
5) Working with natural processes
6) Participatory planning
7) Support and involvement of all relevant administrative bodies
8) Use of a combination of instruments."
Proposal for a European Parliament and Council Recommendation concerning the
implementation of ICZM in Europe COM (2000) 545 final. European Commission,
Brussels.
