Integrated costal zones management - ICZM

• Definition
• ICZM deals with
• The management and the substainable use of the
  coastal zones into consideration the economic and
  social development linked to the existence of the
  sea while safegarding, for the future and present
  generations, the biologic and ecologic fragile
  equilbrium of the coastal zone and the landscapes

ICZM

• This definition adds
• The setting up of an ICZM requires the creation
  of institutional
• instruments and standards making possible the
  participation
• of the actors as well as the coordination of the
  objectives, of
• the policies ans of the activities and leads to
  deal with the
• problems in a global way which takes into account
  the
• interaction between all the components of the
  environment.

4
ICZM

• This supposes several levels of integration
• Geospatial Land and Sea core data in a
  seamless representation
• Administrative coordination between the actors
• Sectorial coordination of activities
• Temporal Short Time and Long Time, sustainable
  development

5
ICZM

• Recognized at the international level
• - Several international conventions (Barcelona
  1995, Ramsar 20002,)
• IOC and GEO recommendations for multi-risks
  mitigation (meteoroly, tsunamis, pollution,
  coast line protection)
• regional project for the implementation of
  multi-risk and tsunami warning systems in Indian
  ocean, Mediterranean sea and Carribean sea.

IZCM

• We can now consider ICZM through
• - the needs
• - the actors
• - the data

7
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• 3 Prevention and assessment of the risks
• 4 Exploitation of living resources
• 5 Exploitation of mineral resources
• 6 Port facilities development
• 7 Scientific works
• 8 Military needs
• 9 Miscelleanous

8
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• Modification of the coastline (erosion,
  implementation of protection structures...)
• Swell impact
• Coastal domain protection (physical action of the
  sea, flooding, chemical, biological,
  radioactivity spills, aso.)
• Protection or management of living species of
  the littoral domain

9
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• Consequences of a development (used waters
  rejections, modification of the coastal currents
  or of the sediment dynamics...)
• Development of touristic areas
• Beach facilities, marinas development projects,
  etc.
• Coastal regulations (environment, safety,
  historic patrimony protection, navigation,
  buoyage...)
• Determination of the coast line
• Determination of maritime public domain

10
The needs

• Littoral protection
• Management of the littoral land use
• Prevention and assessment of the risks
• Identification of flooding areas
• Coastal infrastructures for the prevention of
  natural hazards
• Risk assessment (eg tsunami consequences)
• Nuclear plants protection

11
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• 3 Prevention and assessment of the risks
• 4 Exploitation of living resources
• Aquaculture
• Conchyliculture
• Coastal fishing
• Alga exploitation and culture
• Assessment of possible resources potentially
  favourable areas, simulations, implementation
  possibilities

12
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• 3 Prevention and assessment of the risks
• 4 Exploitation of living resources
• 5 Exploitation of mineral resources
• Sampling of marine granulates or of sediments

13
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• 3 Prevention and assessment of the risks
• 4 Exploitation of living resources
• 5 Exploitation of mineral resources
• 6 Port facilities development
• Development projects
• Impact simulations
• Bottom changes simulation (assessment of the
  volumes to be dredged)
• Knowledge of the nature and the structure of the
  subbottom

14
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• 3 Prevention and assessment of the risks
• 4 Exploitation of living resources
• 5 Exploitation of mineral resources
• 6 Port facilities development
• 7 Scientific research and studies (generally part
  of other needs)
• Studies on sediments dynamics
• Studies on living resources changes
• Studies for understanding coastal processus
• Studies on littoral geography
• Submarine archeology

15
The needs

• 1 Littoral protection
• 2 Management of the littoral land use
• 3 Prevention and assessment of the risks
• 4 Exploitation of living resources
• 5 Exploitation of mineral resources
• 6 Port facilities development
• 7 Scientific research and studies
• 8 Military needs
• Beaching knowledge of the intertidal area and
  land use of the coastal area, aceesability,
  beaches gradient
• Knowledge of very shallow waters sedimentology,
  acoustics, bathymetry... (notably mine warfare)

16
The needs

• The actors

17
The actors

• We define now who will be the users of the
  littoral geographic and hydrographic data. This
  is not exhaustive, just a sample gained from
  SHOM s experience.
• 1 Direct economic actors
• 2 Indirect economic actors
• 3 State Actors
• 4 Intermediary actors

18
The actors

• 1 Direct economic actors
• For conducting their economic activities, be they
  private or public, these actors need littoral
  geographic information they are fishermen,
  conchylicultors, industry or craftmen, public
  works companies, surveyors, autonomous harbours,
  transport companies, services societies, ...

19
The actors

• 1 Direct economic actors
• 2 Indirect economic actors
• These actors define or centralize the needs for
  professionnal groupings
• Associations or NGO environment monitoring
• Chambres of commerce or of industry
• National, regional or local committees of
  maritime fishery or aquaculture
• Specialized concertation structures maritime
  conferences, nautical commissions

20
The actors

• 1 Direct economic actors
• 2 Indirect economic actors
• 3 State Actors
• Prime minister and Ministers Interior, Defense,
  Insdustry, Fishing, Research, Maritime
  authorities, Foreign Office, Budget, Transport
  and infrastructures, Ecology
• State prefects, maritime prefects
• Territorial or local collectivities regions,
  departments,
• Public establishments and agencies
• Coastal natural parcs

21
The actors

• 1 Direct economic actors
• 2 Indirect economic actors
• 3 State Actors
• 4 Intermediary actors
• Coastal developers (landscapes, port protection
  infrastructure).
• Private study service agencies
• Hydrographic, dredging, water retreatement
  private companies,
