Overlapping EU Policy Framework
i. Developing and codifying the ICAM process, particularly from a scientific perspective,
ii. Defining scientific requirements/inputs in various phases of the coastal management cycle.
iii. Development of a set of tools and guidelines for addressing specific ICAM issues
iv.Bridging natural and socio economic sciencesv. Coupled with Training component

i. Environmental information
ii. Indicators
iii. Decision support tools
iv. Capacity development, consciousness and public participation.
v. Dissemination of good practices and lessons learnt.
Pillars of ICAM
16
i. Increase collective capacity to respond to change and challenges in coastal and marine environments through further development of science based management tools such as Integrated Coastal Area Management, Marine Spatial Planning, and Large Marine Ecosystem Approach;
ii. Build on IOC’s and UNESCO’s other coastal programmes in developing Member States’ capacity for the application of ecosystem-based management tools; and
iii. Promote the integration of climate change adaptation and coastal hazards preparedness into the application of area-based management approaches.
IOC-ICAM: Objectives
17
Our governance approach
18
ICAM help!
Building a strong system of alliances for a new institutional policy (at local, regional, national and/or transboundary level)
Having appropriate tools to know the status and improve the integrated coastal management model by considering the specific risks of coastal groundwater.
Achieving the necessary resources to implement a credible integrated management plan.
19
Goals
We need to regulate the uses and activities for the coastal areas from an approach of sustainability and participation…
…in order to enforce the environmental quality, the monitoring processes and the evaluation.
20
How to do it?
• Increase coordination between different administrations on the coast and implement collaborative Decision Support Systems.
• Incorporate participatory processes in coastal management in order to open the debate on problems and finding solutions to all civil society.
• Increase public awareness on issues affecting communication campaigns, creation and maintenance of communication platforms (web, forums, etc.). For citizens, stakeholders and politicians!!

SIDS and coastal water threats
27
SIDS’ needs IOC contribution
Degradation of coastal marine environment
How to manage extreme events and climate variabililty
Sustain and improve the Global Ocean Observing System to ensure nations have access to data and information for adaptation and local DSS.
Need to address transboundary issues Promote the use of transboundary marine assessments (TWAP)
Coastal water management Promote the use of integrated management tools such MSP and ICAM
SIDS and coastal water threats
28
Main questions IOC answers
Reduce the rate of biodiversity loss and increase coastal/marine protected areas
Identify most vulnerable species and habitats in need of protection through the collection of marine biodiversity data (OBIS)
Baseline coastal/marine research and mapping
Support the development of coastal/ marine information systems and atlases.
Data management Support the development of national oceanographic data centers
29
A “water” future is (still) possible
