“…Tourism and freight transport, offshore platforms and waste discharges from boats or affluent rivers are an additional important pollution source for the semi enclosed sea (Lejeusne et al, 2010;Cózar et al, 2015). The request for an easy and efficient application of ICZM to the Mediterranean Basin remains very relevant (Buono et al, 2015;Prem, 2010). This is especially true when considering also that the overall re sponse capability of many Mediterranean countries (Italy, Greece, Malta, Spain) to deal with Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) in cidents was still rather limited few years ago (EMSA, 2013).…”

Interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity are the cornerstone for the future management of coastal ecosystems with many vulnerability and hazard indexes developed for this purpose, especially in the engineering literature, but with limited studies that considered ecological implications within a risk assessment. Similarly, the concept of prioritization of sites has been widely examined in biodiversity conservation studies, but only recently as an instrument for territory management. Considering coastal plant diversity at the species and community levels, and their vulnerability to three main potential hazards threatening coastal areas (oil spills, Hazardous and Noxious Substances pollution, fragmentation of natural habitats), the objective of this paper is to define an easy-to-use approach to locate and prioritize the areas more susceptible to those stressors, in order to have a practical instrument for risk management in the ordinary and extra-ordinary management of the coastline. The procedure has been applied at pilot areas in four Mediterranean countries (Italy, France, Lebanon and Tunisia). This approach can provide policy planners, decision makers and local communities an easy-to-use instrument able to facilitate the implementation of the ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management) process in their territory.

“…One of the factors that hinder the establishment of ICM practices, is the shortage of data on coastal systems and how they function (Burbridge, 2004). But the lack of coastal information exists because of the absence of monitoring in the coastal countries (examples: France, Italy) (Deboudt, 2012;Buono et al, 2015). In contrast, however, some countries have established a very successful monitoring system.…”

Municipal coastal governance practice also in Latvia has various limitations, and taking into account growing climate change adaptation challenges, new understanding and new approaches are to be studied and tested. Overall study frame is based on research-and-development approach. The aim of the research was to study how municipal coastal governance is functioning in practice, particularly, in the relation to the coastal dune protection zones (150/300 m) and further coastal territory behind that, applying whole list of governance instrument groups – political/legal, planning, and especially institutional instruments, also financial, infrastructure and, last but not least, coastal communication instruments. This was done via research-and-governance frame of the three coastal governance dimensions – governance content, stakeholders (governance segments) and governance instruments, realized in Jurmala municipality as especially nature-culture rich and due to tourist attraction also sensitive coastal pilot territory at the Latvia coast. Case study research methodology applied (document studies, observation and stakeholder’s interviews) were approving pre-study understanding, based on previous coastal governance studies, that also this territory with international coastal resort status and well developed municipal administration capacities have limited success on integrated coastal management (ICM) approach implementation and, subsequently, there are requirements on further development of disciplinary instruments and also collaboration governance as ICM preconditions. An integrated ICM approach was internationally designed and approved also for EU coastal countries, since comprehensive requirement to manage the adequate governance of the coast as complex socio-ecological system, but old shaped long existing traditional disciplinary/branch approaches of former and formal municipal planning and management does not really permit necessary innovations with cross-sectorial and cross-level integration perspectives. However, also orientation towards re-use and/or re-development of disciplinary ICM instruments, especially, to be designed and realized as complementary as possible and collaboration governance developments shall be seen as necessary pre-conditions for ICM adequate development.

“…These dynamics are particularly noteworthy in Mediterranean regions where favorable geopedological and climatic conditions have determined a long-history of human occupation (Leontidou 1993;Airoldi and Beck 2007) that has recently taken the shape of urban sprawl and land consumption as contributing factors to the degradation of these ecosystems (Curr et al 2000;Calamita et al 2017;Imbrenda et al 2013). This picture is further worsened for Italy where national gaps in policy design and implementation, together with an uncoordinated and fragmented management of coastal areas, have paved the way for increased littoralization and consequent high level of soil sealing (Zoppi and Lai 2013;Buono et al 2015;Falco 2017).…”
