Sas Et Al 2009. Flashcards
What does ICM address?
The in connections, complexities and conflicts between many users of the coastal area with different goals. It requires setting managerial boundaries that capture different elements of the human and natural system. It is designed to overcome splits in jurisdiction along the coast among different governance levels & at the land - sea interface while acknowledging the community initiatives along the coast.
What does experience tell us about not implementing a direct effort with rules and laws?
Without a DIRECTED effort managerial rules and laws are not likely to coincide with the physical sensitivity of unites that reflect different characteristics of the coastal zone
What is the aim of this study?
Explore WHY coastal managerial boundaries are set randomly and whether and how it is possible to address the problems this poses.
What did the study find?
Real life management succeeded to address areas beyond the arbitrary boundaries and also to result some of the different socio economic needs and physical constraints of the coastal sub units.
What law has Israel employed that results in the employment of criteria to balance development and conservation.
Israels Coastal Environmental Protection Laws
What does the presence of the Coastal Environmental a Protection Law in Israel mean?
Implies policy makers are aware that boundaries (sensitive to ecology) that consider homogeneity of the coast must be balanced with boundaries set arbitarily.
Why does ICM challenge coastal managers and scientists?
Some argue zonal boundaries should be set according to physical landscape, ecological processes, administrative lines and land uses. Others say that the spatial and scaler configuration of governance reveals the struggle between stakeholders and decision makers on how to balance development and environmental concerns which is shown with the varying criteria that is used to manage natural resources & coastal zone.
What CZM option is likely to hinder the implementation of ICZM?
Arbitrary boundary declination as it ignores the ecological and administrative diversity for each coastal zone.
What do the authors comment about arbitrary boundary boundary demarcation?
Using this approach - physical coastal and human systems can still be addressed.
Encourage flexibility and practicality
Consistent and easily understood by regulators, developers and the public.
What does the term ‘arbitrary’ refer to?
Spatial demarcation of management that does not consider the physical, especially the natural elements of the coastal environment which may impede meaningful conservation and integration efforts.
What does the study aim to define about the regulatory framework of a coastal body jurisdictional authority within arbitrary boundaries?
Statistically define the extent to which the arbitrary body makes conservation and development decisions based on the arbitrary boundaries
