1. Sharing some Integrated CZM
experiences:
• ICZM program elements
• ICZM tools: RAMCO (Physical Planning) &
CoastLearn (ICZM training)
• CZM – Centre’s Website: www.netcoast.nl
• EU - Coastal Network: EUCC : www.eucc.nl
• European Water Partnership: a public & private Network

Coastal Zone Management Instruments and Capacities
Reference: CZM-Centre & Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, 1996:
“Egyptian Coast: Development and Challenges”
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
RAMCO: spatial designed Rapid integrated Assessment
and analytic planning tool using interactively GIS modules
supporting coastal policy makers Two different tool levels:
1) Macro-scale system: long
range, large scale coastal
processes, natural & socioeconomic subsystems;
2) Micro-scale system: short
term and micro-scale coastal
processes, using cellular GIS
sub-models.
Reference: CZM-C/RIKZ/RIKS, 1999:
“Integral Assessment Module for Coastal
Zone Management, RamCo 2.0 User Guide”
RAMCO: an example of the analytical GIS frame component: macro-scale dynamics
system diagram tourism land demand, employment, production values;
The iterative, relational, analytical frame: the expert judgment in the macro level effects
the micro dynamics and changes the land use map.

EUCC - The Coastal Union is
www.eucc.net
An international non-profit
association, founded in 1989:
•Active national branches and projects in
14 EU countries
•Total about 3000 Members in 40 countries
•Offices in Scotland, the Netherlands,
Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Spain

EUCC‘s Mission
Back
To promote a solid coastal management:
Conservation of nature, landscape and cultural heritage
in combination with coastal safety and a sustainable
economic development

European Water Partnership:
A coordinated approach to water in Europe :
• The European Water Partnership is a joint
private and public sector organisation created
to coordinate European water activities
• It is an independent body

European Water Partnership:
Why?
• Global water crisis, brought about by climate
change, population growth and water usage:
– In Europe, an estimated 85 million people lack
sanitation facilities and 41 million do not have
access to safe drinking water;
– Worldwide, 1.1 billion people do not have water
and 2.6 billion lack sanitation facilities;
– Water strongly influences: poverty, migration, Aids,
sustainability, and climate change.

2. Some suggestions for PlanCoast:
• Mixing concepts of ICZM program elements
with Physical Planning
• An example of Sea Use Planning:
The Netherlands Continental Shelf
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
The Coastal Union
Suggestions to mix ICZM program elements
with Physical Planning:
• Characteristics of ICZM ;
• Characteristics of Physical Planning;
• Suggested mix.
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
The Coastal Union
Main characteristics of an ICZM
program:
• Complex problem oriented;
• Area/district/region oriented;
• Multiple faceted:
comprising several disciplines & departments,
local stakeholders and NGO’s (are problem
owners);
• Integrated management for development through
institutional strengthening: policy preparation,
decision making simultaneously at different levels;
• Long term iterative and cyclic process ( +/-10
years) including monitoring & ecologic &
economic evaluation;
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
The Coastal Union
Main characteristics of an ICZM program - cont’d:
• Consisting of a planning and an implementation phase;
• Awareness raising among stakeholders increases
acceptance of implementation;
•
Implementation is directed at sustainable solutions:
1. Increasing resilience of the coastal system,
2. No-regret measures in case of large uncertainties,
3. Flexible, soft solutions preferred above hard
flood protecting measures
4. Zoning of functional uses in terrestrial and marine parts
of coastal zone
• Implementing an ICZM program needs
i) a practical leader
ii) a process leading to measures through a consultative
and
participatory
approach.
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
The Coastal Union
Some characteristics of a Spatial Development Plan:
•
Area oriented;
•
Time planning horizon: five years to some decades;
•
National policy dominant over district and community plans;
•
Strict alignment according to main components of ‘hard’ Infrastru
Water ways, Electric, Sewage, Roads, Airways, Pipelines;
•
Generally no alignment provisions for:
participatory approaches, long term sustainability,
decreasing pollution, increasing biodiversity, decreasing the
vulnerability to Climate Change impacts and no eco&eco evaluation

How to mix existing Spatial Development Plan
practices with ICZM principles?
Some suggestions:
1. Applying the EU-WFD and EU-ICZM Recommendations to
the PlanCoast integrated Land and Sea Use
Planning;
2. Including the main elements of the ICZM programs:
sustainability, long term, and ecological &
economical accountabilities, participatory approaches;
3. Implementing a pilot Spatial Development Plan at
district/communal level, including an integrated
feasibility study for implementation.
Win-Win potentials creating Spatial Development Plans in an ICZM frame:
Spatial Development Decrees/Laws are legally binding documents,
which could be a solid base for the subsequent
ICZM implementation phase.

“Netherlands Integrated Management Plan for
the North Sea 2015”
The full-report is
available on
the PlanCoast Website,
as 11 MB PDF document.

“Netherlands Integrated Management Plan for
the North Sea 2015”
This Governmental Document
is produced in close cooperation
by four Dutch Ministries.
This Integrated Management Plan
for the North Sea 2015 was
adopted by the
Council of Netherlands Ministers
in July 2005,
for approval of the Netherlands
Parliament.
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
This list of Contents
Illustrates that not only different
maps were produced, but also:
1) VISIONS on North Sea use:
Healthy, Safe and Profitable Sea,
2) PRINCIPLES of Management,
3) INSTRUMENTS for management,
4) INTEGRATED frame for permitting,
were addressed.
Prepared for the PlanCoast Kick-off meeting, Ancona, June, 2006
Some Concluding Remarks:
1) Interaction between Spatial Development/
Physical Planning and ICZM can be
beneficially both ways;
2) PlanCoast can illustrate these benefits in the
Baltic, Adriatic and Black Sea, through
producing: visions, maps and analyses based
on GIS data bases;
3) ICZM concepts, tools and networks are ready to
be shared for use.
