  in the frameworks and how these differences
  influence strategies for conflict resolution
  in CZM.
• Developed recommendations what adaptations of
  methods are necessary for each participating
  country because of cultural and economic
  differences.
• Published report with description of practical
  cases, evaluation of selected methods and
  recommendations how to use methods to resolve
  conflicts in coastal zone management.
• Improved practical skills among involved
  stakeholders in

Case Studies
Framework for descriptions of case studies

• 1.Where is the activity located?
• 2.Which kind of activity is it? (Oil terminal?
  port? Manufacturing enterprise? fish
  processing industry?)
• 3.Which year did the activity start?
• 4.To whom does the activity belong? (The state?
  Private owner? The municipality? Other
  owner?)
• 5.Is this a single activity/enterprise, or does
  it belong to a bigger business group
• 6.What is the conflict about?
• 7. Is there more than one country involved?
  Which ones?
• 8.Which are the primary stakeholders and what is
  their position/ role?
• ALL ALONG A SUSTAINABILITY DIMENSION IS
  CONSIDERED!

21
Sustainability components

1. Engagement of various stakeholders
2. Due emphasis to political, economic and
   environmental issues
3. Provides a chance for transnational exchanges and
   technology transfer
4. Uses targeted-oriented indicators (e.g. amount of
   sediments processed)
5. Case studies cater for local conflict
   understanding (and perhaps resolution)
6. Results will be disseminated via a Handbook.

22
Conclusions

• Sustainability elements are greatly needed in
  CZM
• The primary stakeholders need to be involved
• COASTMAN uses integrative approaches to involve
  them
• Combining policy with tools, education and
  training improves
• chances of getting better results
• 5. We welcome associates (next meetings
• a) Hamburg, June 2005 (Dealing with environmental
  catastrophes)
• b) Klaipeda in September 2005
• Inputs / ideas are welcome.
