1. ICZM national networking – DATAR+50
2013: ICZM+21
21 years after Rio, Agenda 21
Yves Henocque
IFREMER

2. Global / Local
Parallel stories
totally
interconnected

3. 1970 - 1980
The coast:
Land use planning and wetlands/coastal landscape conservation
against urbanisation sprawling
France: Wetlands and Coastal Conservatory (1975)
United States: Coastal Management Act (1972)
1980 – 1990: before Rio
Juridictional structuring of maritime space (UNCLOS: 1982)
Sustainable development: Brundtland Report (1987)
France: Coastal Act (1986)
1990 – 2002
Rio 1992: Agenda 21, Chapter 17 (7 major programmes)
EU 1999: ICZM Demonstration programme (2002-2006)
Johannesburg 2002: private sector coming in

4. Agenda 21, Section 17.5
Coastal states
engage themselves into
the sustainable development
of maritime areas
under their own jurisdiction

5. 2006: European Integrated
Maritime Policy
2008: MSFD (Marine Strategy Framework Directive)
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)
as a tool
2013: Directive under preparation
ICZM / MSP
DG Mare / DG Environnement

6. 2010: COP10 – Convention on
Biodiversity
Ecosystem-based approach
Reconciling
biodiversity conservation
with local development

7. 2008 - 2009
National debate: environment / sea
2010
Environment Act (Chapter VI
devoted to the sea)
Defining the instruments for
Ocean and Coast Integrated Management
National Advisory body / regional committees / regional strategic plans
Mediterranean protocol on ICZM (2010)

9. Integrated management
A question
of nested
(multi-scale)
governance

10. GOVERNANCE
Composed of four activities across a range of scales
A vision and shared priorities
Policies coherence / objectives
Steering capacity
Accountability
Practice of collective evaluation
high level of institutional capacity
where governments keep a central
but non exclusive role

11. The governance forces
STATE
Local governments
MARKET
CIVIL
SOCIETY
Space and ressource use
Private goods / Public goods / Common goods
Type of governance sets the frame within which management happens

12. Scientific and local
knowledge
A process
of mutual
acculturation
Social Engineering input

13. Which process for « place-based science » ?
A question about changes in behaviour towards knowledge
Accepting acculturation to walk along together
Context
Any knowledge is relative to the intervention context
And the way it is produced determine the way along which
problems are built up and managed
Place-based science (sustainability science…)
Combine scientific knowledge and local knowledge, social practices and
collective imagination in relation with the coast and the ocean
Efficient governance
local / global
Mutual confidence
Forum, partnerships, institutionnal arrangements,
leadership
Create the meeting arenas in a sustainable way

14. Integrated ocean and coastal management
A non linear process where
enabling conditions of success
must always be
put into question
Adaptive management
Prospective / concertation instruments / meeting places

15. System thinking
Create the enabling conditions
To lead to changes in behaviour
Ownership / Learning / Mutual acculturation
And get to the expected results

16. Integrated management
is not a given
it builds up on what
was already there
and articulate the
project places

17. French Mediterranean, Var Department – Put into synergy
local initiatives and their steering bodies

18. Ocean and coast departmental plan
An instrument for better coherence
between
Land use planning and maritime areas
planning
Combining development and
biodiversity conservation
including
risks prevention measures

19. Then…
Integrated coastal zone management
or
Integrated coastal and ocean
management ?
