Approach to ICM in EU

Last Updated On: 23/11/2011

EU role supportive rather than regulatory
WFD as mechanism to adopt ICM
Sectoral nature of EU legislation
Outcome of Demonstration Programme contributed to ICM strategy
Lack of guidelines on implementation of recommendations – unbalanced national approaches
EU strategy to protect & conserve the marine environment will facilitate conservation of the coast
Gaps to be addressed in a Trans-National Approach to ICM

ICM needs to be embraced at a number of levels – local, regional, national, trans-national and EU level
At present, there is a lack of harmonisation in approach to ICM at the trans-national level, despite the shared resource that is the coastal and marine area of NW Europe
The need for integrated policy and planning is vital to stem the tide of habitat destruction and loss of quality of life
Best practice must be identified, shared and implemented
Establish baseline data
Provide fiscal support
Develop indicators for ICM
Implement the precautionary principle
Provide a focal point for ICM
Establish national coastal fora for ICM
Integrate planning for the coast
Utilize available technology
