Discuss European ICZM progress indicators
Developed in the context of the EC ICZM Recommendation (2002/413/EC) - gives guidance on ICZM. 8 principles defining the essential characteristics of ICM. The Recommendation outlines steps that MS should take to develop national strategies for ICZM. In the EU ICZM recommendation, requested the EC to present an evaluation report to the Council and EU Parliament. This evaluation & policy directions for further promotion of ICZM in Europe were presented by the Comission in its Communication of 7 June 2007.
How is the progress of ICZM measured?
EU indicators - divided into 4 phases that ICZM should advance through. See diagram
What is the preferred method of progress indicators?
ICZM European Expert Group backing. This expert group was established to assist member states and acceding countries in developing a common method for responding to challenges in the coastal zone and laid out in the EU Strategy
What is COREPOINT
A partnership of research centres, LA and coastal networks from Belgium, France, Ireland, Netherlands and UK. The COREPOINT (2004-2008) was funded by INTERREG programme, sought to strengthen links between researchers and policy makers to help orientate relevant research towards problem solving at the local level. L
COREPOINT tests EU projects by understanding the extent of national, sub nation implementation of ICZM and a means to assess whether progress is leading to improved sustainability in the coastal zone.
Give an example of a testing group in Wales?
Testing in Wales is conducted by a sub group of Wales coastal and maritime partnership. It is a non statutory advisory group, bringing together all those with interest in the CZ.
Give examples of national / state programmes in US
National CZM effectiveness studies : protecting estuaries & coastal wetlands. (Good et al 1998)
CZMA performance management system : continental indicators manual. Environmental, economic indicators. Eg Delaware coastal programmes
Give an example of sub national programmes
UK estuary / firth management programmes - Coastal Partnership Networks. These have been developed to deliver understanding / integration on a national level, they have detailed understanding of issues utilising established relations with key personnel and key stakeholders involved in the management / use in their area.
Give an strategic plan method to evaluate a projects weakness / strength / limitation and opportunity?
