Summary

A Recommendation concerning the implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) was adopted on 30 May 2002. It asked Member States to adopt a strategic approach to the management of their coastal zones, based on a number of principles laid out in the document. It specifically recommended that Member States should conduct a stocktaking exercise of their coastal zone, which should form the basis of a national strategy, or wider coastal strategies. Member States were also encouraged to report to the Commission on their experience of implementing the Recommendation. This report brings together the experience to date of the UK as a whole in implementing the Recommendation on ICZM.
