1. ETC-LUSI
Key element supporting ICZM
ICZM and main policies• Support the ICZM Recommendation (EU expert Group and indicator
production)
• Support WFD (river catchments DB)
• Support the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (especially the ecosystem based concept and the spatial perspective of the seas)

Emergent marine policies -UE
• Defining Coastal units – Administrative (Coastal Nuts)– Geographical (coastline, elevation and bathymetry), physical (sandy, rocky, muddy), by
landscape
• Articulation of the coast with river catchments, and broader hinterland– Water quantity and quality (S) – River management impacts (ex. dams and beach erosion) (I) – River floods (I)– Land uses (D, P) – Lagoons and deltas, transitional waters (WFD) integrated management (fish nursery,
protection against CC ) (S, R) (link with ICZM)
• Articulation of the coast and river with the marine interface and the maritime activities– Coast and Sea bed morphology and biodiversity (ex.posidonia beds) (S)– Sea water quality (S, P)– Land use and sea use drivers D)– Sediment balance (river-coast-sea) (S)– Anadrom migratory Species (river-coast-sea)(S)– Seascapes and marine ecosystems and species (S)– Sea uses maps (3 dimensions) (D, P)– Maritime activities and their coastal-sea hinterland (D)– Coastal/maritime planning (R) within ICZM frame

INDEX ICZM work at ETC-LUSI
• Work on ICZM since 1992.
• Since ETC creation in 2001, ICZM has been an activity phare: – Participation to the EU ICZM Expert Group (DG ENV) since 2002– Lead of the WG-ID of the ICZM Expert Group (since 2002); – Participation to high level meetings since today– Participation in DEDUCE interreg project to develop and produce the
EU first set of agreed indicators (2004-2007)towards a coastal observatory
– Support to the countries doing their ICZM strategy (2007-2008)
• 2008-2009: participation in EU ICZM Expert Group meetings to assess how to continue and the different options (linking ICZM, marine and maritime)

INDEX Participation at the Tourism
Sustainibility Group TSG– to use ICZM indicator experience for measuring the
Sustainability of tourism
-Coastal tourism/cruisers maritime activity
– Following UNWTO criteria for sustainable tourism, most of them have same objectives than ICZM:
• Make optimal use of environmental resources• Respect the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, conserve tangible and intangible heritage• Catalyzing benefits for communities• Maintaining high levels of satisfaction for the user and for the local populations solidarity and ethic principles of ICZMlocal sustainable development
At European scale, coastal communities have a slightly lower population with highereducation qualification.

2. The FP7 PEGASO project on Mediterranean and Black Sea
2.Connected project to support ETC-LUSI EEA work
• It is a unique legal instrument on ICZM in the entire international community and shall serve as a model for other regional seas.
Supporting the ICZM Protocol
• ICZM Protocol adresses Land and sea ecosystems, coastal and maritime planning including tourism, energy, etc., impacts of Climate change and adaptation, in a multi sectoral /holistic approach
AIMS of PEGASO• Built on the needs of stakeholders developing simple and efficient
tools (Indicators, mapping of conflicts, environment accounts, scenarios, coastal and maritime planning )
• Bridging science and decision making in a co-working process involving users from the beginning and, therefore, building a long term co-research capacity within the post normal science paradigm
• Will enable end user communities around the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins to work together to identify common threats and solutions in relation to the long-term sustainable development and environmental protection of coastal zones
• PEGASO build on existing capacities to develop common novel approaches to support integrated policies and practices for coastal, marine and maritime realms.
The PEGASO project(UAB is coordinator)
To construct an ICZM governance platform, consistent with the aims of article 14 of the ICZM protocol for the Mediterranean.
THE PLATFORM
The ICZM Governance Platform will enable the science and end user communities to share data and information and explicit their needs for tools, so as to build a common understanding on priority issues affecting the coastal zones of the two regional seas.
The platform is formed by the PEGASO partners, nine test fields (the CASES) with their stakeholders and the end-users Committee.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PLATFORM
To build a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) for the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
The ICZM Platform will be supported by the development and implementation of an SDI:
BUILDING A MED AND BS SDI
To organize local geonodes and standardize spatial data to support information sharing on an interactive visor, and to disseminate all results of the project.
The Spatial Data Infrastructure will share spatial data in an interactive way:
• To advance in the concept and implementation of an interactive atlas of the Mediterranean and Black Seaswork with ICAN and Envirogrid (FP7)
• Sharing capacity:– South-south/– north-North and – South-North
OBJECTIVES OF THE SDI
PEGASO will refine and further develop efficient and easy to use tools for making sustainability assessments in the coastal zone.
• Spatial Indicators (expressing statistics into space)• Accounting tools/LEAC development for the
Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts and sea (as far as possible)
• Maritime spatial planning guidelines• Making of simple scenarios with participatory
methods• Developing basis for a Med and BS Atlas

New spatial indicators
Developing spatial indicator of habitat richnessModels based on image texture and primary productivity have been applied for explaining up to 70 % of the variability in species richness (of birds - St-Louis et al, 2006; of birds and butterflies - Seto et al, 2003; of vascular plants – Griffiths and Lee, 2000)
A test was performed for the region of Doñana national park, on the basis of vegetation index (NDVI) derived from Landsat TM images, following three steps:
Classification work for Sea Bed Mapping
With the Marine Directive, countries will have to build a sea bed data base.
-classification and harmonisation issues are of first importance, -common support and guidance to countries (following INSPIRE Directive).
populating ATLAS of coast and sea (ICAN network)
Mapping coast-sea uses for maritime activities
Shipping intensity in the Northern Adriatic in 2005(DAMAC project, Marche Regione, Italy 2007)
The shipping routes, the anchorage areas, the nature protection areas (Natura 2000, RAMSAR sites and World heritage), the gas and oil exploitations & connecting pipelines, the fi shing areas and telecom cables were mapped.

The tools will be tested and validated in 9 sites (CASES) and by the ICZM Platform, using a multi-scale approach for integrated regional assessment.
TESTING THE TOOLS
WORKING WITH GOVERNANCE
PLATFORM
At different scales, bringing national, regional with local
To support an integrated regional assessment for the Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal and maritime areas, agreed with the governance platform.
ASSESSMENT
• To identify the main common threats and priority responses
• To formulate policy response options at different spatial and temporal scales.
• To produce guidelines for sustainable planning and assessment.
To establish and strengthen mechanisms for networking and capacity development so as to promote knowledge transfer and the continued use of the project outputs.
CAPACITY BUILDING AND DISSEMINATION
• Interactive internet portal. • Training courses. • Dynamic regional networks. • Disseminate widely.• Promote the ICZM Mediterranean and Black Sea strategic Panel.
• The foundation and strength of PEGASO is that it is built upon the long-term work of a number of key national and international institutions dedicated to regional assessment of the Mediterranean andBlack Sea basins in recent decades
• 24 partners : MAP/PAP-RAC/Plan Bleu, IUCN, PSCBS, MEDCOAST, UNEP-GRID, JRC, Universities and Research Institutes from UK, BE, FR, ES, IT, GR, MA, AZ, TN, LB, EG, TR, RO, UA.
