Objective
In order to co-ordinate actions to protect the coastal zone, this project aims to develop an integrated coastal area management through co-operative mechanisms among various actors (public, private/local-regional-national) on the coastal management in islands. Two case studies will be used: Cyclades, S. Aegean, Greece. Activities at these sites include the setting up of a multiple set of groups co-operating in identifying issues, developing strategies and preparing actions together
The project begins by organising the network. This is to be done by developing a network structure (management unit, experts, decision makers, socio-economic actors, non-government organisations), together with a methodology and rules of procedures, as well as dividing up various tasks and responsabilities.
Once this is done, the assessment of environmental issues to be tackled can begin. This involves an analysis of economic activities and resource management practices, an evaluation of impacts on the environment, an examination of resources capacity, and finally an examination of legislation and regional development programmes
The next step is an assessment of strategy for sustainable coastal management in Cyclades, including a comparative assessment of strategies and an identification of issues associated with each strategy
The final stage regards the specific measures for coastal area management in Cyclades. This involves resource management (water resource management, energy use, protection of beaches), waste management, environmental planning and the heritage management
