Necessity

Coastal zone is a very at t ractive environment but t heimpact must be assesed:

Climate change (sea level, storms, floods, landslides, coastalerosion)

Economic activities (agriculture, transport, tourism, fishery,

indust ry) and related pollut ion,

Land take ( for ur banization and infr astr ucture) Ext ra measures are imperat ive necessary t o achieve

sustainable development on t he coastal zone

Policy f ramew ork for coast al int egrated management

Collection of relevant spatial information

Change detection and t rend analysis

Spatial planning f or cross-sectoral int egrat ion and stakeholdersinvolvement

Elaboration of coastal regional management plans

Integrated Coastal Zone Management(international necessity)

The urge for integrated management of coastal zone is found in UN Agenda 21

EU Requirements :

- the need for integrated management of the river basins, including coastal

zones in order to sustain economic development in the future.

EU Guidelines:

Water Framework Directive (WFD-2000/60/EC)

EU ICZM Recommendations (2002/413/EC)

Black Sea Convention92

Black Sea Strategic Action Plan for the Protection and Rehabilitation

of the Black Sea

Beach Erosion (Southern Littoral)

Major Causes

1) Detour of sediment by the breakwater of Midia Port

2) Decrease in supply of medium to coarse sediments from the

Danube

3) Offshore sediments transport by wave actions

4) Natural process of cliff retreat over years with the rate

of some 0.6 m/year

5) Loss of sediments transport balance due to construction

of shore protection facilities

COASTAL ZONE STRATEGIC ISSUES

The agricultural sector is an important growth sector in the coastal zone.

Agricultural production will grow in an environmental sustainable manner.

Tourism is an important growth sector in the coastal zone. Mass tourism

will be developed and concentrated in the Black Sea resorts; eco- tourism willbe developed in the Danube Delta region with Tulcea as its centre of eco-tourism.

Trade is an important sector in the coastal zone. The Port of Constanta,

situated on the Pan European Corridors IV and VII, is the main transport

hub in the South-Eastern European region.

Industry is an important sector of the coastal zone, but needs to beconcentrated along the development axis ConstantaCernavoda-Bucharest.

Development of heavy industries needs to be discouraged in the coastal

zone.

ICZM existing national legislation

Water Law no. 107/1997 updated by 310/2004

Costal Zone Law no 280/2003 for EO 202/2002 approval

National Action Plan for the Protection and Rehabilitation of the Black

Sea.

ICZM Goals:

strengthening of the integrated management of multi-sectoralactivities;

conservation and protection of productivity and biodiversity ofthecoastal ecosystems;

prevention or reduction of expenses caused by natural factors, such

as coastal erosion, flooding or wrong administrative decisions; the rational use of resources and sustainable development of

coastal areas.

Main bodies involved and their roles and instruments

National Committee of the Coastal Zone:

- Facilitates, co-ordinates, guides and oversees the process of strategydevelopment and strategy implementation (assisted by the TechncialSecretariat)

- Approves any adjustment, update or new strategy for the coastal zone

- Approves the creation of Working or Expert Groups- Supervises the work done by the (strengthened) Technical Secretariat

Technical Secretariat:

Carries out preparatory work and supports the NC in all relevant matters

Monitors the state of the coastal zone

Advises the National Committee

Regional and Local Government Agencies:

Transpose the strategy into regional / local sector policies and plans

Implement the integrated sector policies and plans by using the instrumentsavailable through existing laws and regulations

Conclusions

A successful Implementation of ICZM in the Romanian CoastalZone requires:

Willingness of stakeholders to collaborate;

Capacity of the coordinating bodies to guide andsteer and of the sector agencies to integrate andadapt planning and action;

The technical, economic and financial feasibility ofalternative options to take adaptive/corrective actions.
