AQUAPLAN: Coastal zone planning and management
Integrated spatial planning and management of the coastal zone is still a fairly new exercise for most coastal regions. AquaPlan comprises exchange of experience and best practice between planning authorities at local and regional level, to achieve positive interactions amongst coastline users, contributing to the maintenance of coastal communities in the future.
There is a strong need for knowledge about the quality and conditions of the coastal marine environment: AquaPlan will also focus on restocking and recovery of marine species contributing to create a basis for a biological and commercially sustainable industry.
Possible AquaPlan activities:
- Delimiting of zones that are adequate for carrying out the different activities and the identification of compatible uses and activities. Determination of areas suitable for developing aquaculture and polyculture.
- Development of methodology and exchange of best practise regarding restocking and recovery of marine species.
- The application of norms in coastal areas, with special reference to those regulating aquaculture.
- Exchange of information for establishing databases on the coastal zones and establishing database maps of coastal areas. Including computerised decision tools on the basis of data based maps, GIS, numerical simulations etc. |
