COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMEOF MONTENEGRO - CAMP MNE Inception Report

Decision to start up CAMP MNE • Initial steps: 14th Ordinary Meeting, 2005

• Decision to start CAMP MNE: 18 – 19. December 2006

• The Feasibility Study was prepared in the period December 2007 – May 2008

• Draft CAMP Project Agreement: February 2011, adjusted in Spring 2011

• CAMP Agreement is signed on 30 May 2011

General Objectives of CAMP MNE

-mechanisms to achieve SD of the coastal area

-support for the implementation of national policies and ICZM Protocol-promotion of integrated and participatory planning and management in the coastal area

-development of national and local capacities for ICZM and awareness raising

-transfer of knowledge on ICZM tools and approaches    

Project Area

territories of six coastal municipalities with the total surface of 1,591 km2

internal waters and territorial sea with the surface of around 2,500 km2

Main problems

Complex institutional and legal frameworks, non clear definedcompetencies, lack of co-ordination

Integrated or ecosystem-based approaches are not at the core of the planning system; sectoral approaches are still prevalent

Capacity for the application of ICZM tools and mechanisms is limited

Strong pressures on coastal environment

Harmonisation of national and local level spatial plans;integration of ICZM Protocol requirements into the spatial plans

Valuable marine and terrestrial ecosystems and cultural heritage are threatened by the current and planned development

Pollution from land-based sources and maritime activities needs to be prevented/ controlled more efficiently

Project objectives

Specific objectives

to create necessary

mechanisms that can help achieve SD of

the coastal area

to support implementation of national policies and

ICZM Protocol

to promote integrated and participatory planning and management in the coastal

area

to build national and

local capacities for

ICZM and raise

awareness

to facilitate the transfer

of knowledge on ICZM tools and

approaches.

Overall Objective:support, facilitate and propagate efforts towards integrated management in the project area to provide for environmental protection and sustainable development

CAMP is linked with CASP and GEF MED Partnership`s projects

New CASP of Montenegro development

•The CAMP activities are defined as to provide support in fulfilling expertise needs of CASP MNE, while full exchange of information and integration of results is provided with TBP Buna/ Bojana

2 projects with support of GEF MED Partnership

• Transboundary (Albania and Montenegro) project on integrated management of the Buna/ Bojana basin, coastal area and aquifers

         Project structure

CAMP activities as they were presented in the Agreement are broken down in two major components with a set of activities

and sub-activities:

A Horizontal activities

B Individual activities

Horizontal activities

Project co-ordination, integration and dissemination of

results

Training / capacity building

Public participation and

awareness raising

Individual activitiesSupport for the ICZM Strategy/Plan

and Coastal Area Spatial Plan (CASP)

of Montenegro

1.1 Analysis of implications of the ICZM Protocol for spatial planning

1.2 Preparation of sectoral baseline

studies of selected coastal subsystems

1.3 Coastal vulnerability,

attractiveness and suitability

assessment

1.4 Inputs for coastal carrying

capacity, especially regarding the

capacities in the sector of tourism

development

1.5 Recommendations to

strengthen beach management system

in Montenegro

1.6 Contribution to coastal GIS database with indicators as a core future coastal

monitoring observatory

Individual activities

•2.1.Proposal of the ICZM institutional-legislative framework setup in coastal zone of Montenegro•2.2.Recommendations for selected ICZM measures, including coastal setback elaboration with rules of its implementation/adaptation•2.3.Facilitating implementation of ICZM Protocol principles in final CASP and SEA formulation

2.ICZM framework setup

3.Realization of the pilot project on testing the

ecosystem approach (ECAP) application in Boka Kotorska

Bay by making the special reference to nutrient inputs

from diffuse sources, ecosystem valuation and green entrepreneurship

Expected outputs of the CAMP

ICZM plan with NS ICZM for the project area

Building blocks for future institutional arrangements for ICZM and support to possible changes in the legislative framework

Analysis of implications of the ICZM Protocol for spatial planning system, including recommendations for necessary revision of the existing spatial planning policies and documents to incorporate the ICZM methods, concepts and tools and assistance with their application in the process of CASP development

Delivered trainings and increased capacity of all the stakeholders, especially the local level ones

Raised awareness on coastal processes and integrated management

Expected outputs of the CAMP

Coastal studies (with GIS maps) including:

• Suitability Assessment Analysis • Study of biodiversity and nature protection • Study for hydrology, hydrogeology and water quality • Natural risks analyse • Targeted socio-economic analysis • Coastal GIS• The methodology for carrying capacity, especially regarding the capacities in the sector of tourism development • Recommendations to strengthen beach management system in Montenegro

In accordance with the analyses and objectives that will be defined in NS ICZM

Priority themes and area of action will be further elaborated in ICZM Plan by defining:• measures• timeframe • responsibilities for

implementation• indicators• means for implementation

for any themes and area of action
