INTERREG IIIB CADSES PlanCoastCoastal Zone
and Maritime Spatial Planning

• Angela Schultz-Zehden

Overall Objective

• Foster sustainable development in the coastal
  zones
• (land- and sea-side) of the
• Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea and Black Sea
• and support the
• EU maritime strategy

3
Challenges

• The coastal zones of the Adriatic, Baltic and
  Black Sea face severe pressure from development.
• Multiple sea and coast-based activities such as
  tourism, transport, fishery / aquaculture,
  shipping and energy generation are growing.
• Combined with the requirements for nature
  protection and the effects of global climate
  change these uses implicate numerous actual and
  potential conflicts.
• These conflicts are not limited to the landside
  areas, but will affect offshore areas even more
  strongly.
• The challenge is to make the most of the economic
  potential of the seas in a sustainable manner by
  avoiding conflicts and creating maximum synergies
  between the various interest groups.

Goals

• Setting up comparable GIS databases laying the
  ground for transnational co-ordination of
  different uses in coastal zones and maritime
  areas
• Developing, introducing and implementing the new
  tool of spatial planning in maritime areas in a
  coherent manner complying to international
  standards but reflecting local and regional needs
• Strengthening the implementation of ICZM national
  strategies in EU coastal zones by enhancing the
  role of spatial planning within ICZM in a
  selected number of pilot projects
• Contribute to the implementation of European
  policies and national strategies on coastal zones
  and maritime areas

What is ICZM?

• Integrated Coastal Zone Management
• is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary and
• participatory process
• to promote sustainable management of
• coastal zones from off-shore areas
• up to their hinterlands
• and covers the full cycle of
• information collection, planning, public
  participation, decision making, management and
  monitoring of policy implementation.

Current focal points of EU policy
Integrated Coastal Zone management
(ICZM) Development of national ICZM-strategies
until 2006
European Maritime Policy Green paper on
integrated maritime policy June 7, 2006
9
Central questions of the EU Green Paper of
Maritime Policy concerning ICZM and Spatial
Planning
How can ICZM be successfully implemented? What
are the principles and mechanisms that should
underpin maritime spatial planning systems? How
can systems for planning on land and sea be made
compatible?
10
What can Spatial Planning offer to ICZM and the
EU Maritime Strategy?

• Proven methods of participation and conflict
  management
• Binding results based on statutory plans
• Provision of space oriented data through
  Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Laying the Ground for ICZM Actions

• Assessment of Status Quo
• National reports on current policy, legal basis
  and procedures of spatial planning in coastal and
  maritime areas (land- and sea-side) in all
  participating countries
• Transnational, comparative study on current role
  of spatial planning in National ICZM strategies
  and identification of opportunities/threats -
  strengths/weaknesses gaps/best practice
• Creation of GIS Databases for Coastal Plans
• Agreement on common type of basic information to
  be included in all GIS databases
• Creation or update of GIS Databases for Coastal
  Zones accordingly in all participating regions

13
Pilot Projects

• Sea-Use-Planning in Action
• Preparation of Sea-Use-Plans for 12 sm zone in
  Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Germany), Gdansk region
  (Poland), Trieste Bay (Slovenia), Varna
  (Bulgaria), Constanta (Romania), Boka Kotorska
  Bay (Montenegro), Odessa (Ukraine)
• Sea-Use-Planning training programme for spatial
  planners from all participating countries
• Spatial Planning in ICZM in Action
• Preparation of new coastal plans according to
  ICZM principles for Palombina Beach (Italy),
  Pommerania (Poland), Piran (Slovenia), Albania,
  Varna (Bulgaria), Constanta (Romania) and the
  Tulcea/Danube Delta Biological Reservation
  (Romania)
