Coastal zone management

Les systèmes dunaires ont une distribution géographique mondiale. Cependant, ce livre est un recueil adapté aux dunes côtières de la Méditerranée occidentale. Il présente dans un premier temps un recueil de concepts de base sur la dynamique côtière, qui concerne à la fois les processus physiques (sédimentaires) et leur fonctionnement écologique, ainsi qu'une description des techniques de restauration potentielles.

This facilitator’s guide for the Promoting Local Innovations (PLI) workshop has been developed to provide conservation and development practitioners working with coastal communities with an interactive and participatory tool that they can use to promote local innovations for climate change adaptation.

The purpose of the current report is to provide baseline information to the project staff and partners, to facilitate subsequent working steps, such as stakeholder consultations, climate risk and vulnerability assessments, and the prioritisation of adaptation options. The report has been compiled based on accessible secondary data. In depth stakeholders’ consultations and firsthand data collection were not undertaken as part of the report preparation.

Les objectifs de ce guide visent principalement à appuyer les formations pratiques, à approfondir l'apprentissage, à apporter des solutions d'urgence et à surveiller les aires marines protégées régionales sur la base de procédures communes. Ce support technique permettra ainsi aux agents d'exercer leurs activités avec un maximum de sécurité et d'efficacité.

The workbook is designed to allow for a dynamic process of marine protected area (MPA) management based on the lessons learnt through piloting the first draft of the workbook in eight MPAs in Kenya, Tanzania and the Seychelles. It takes into account the management issues faced in the WIO, is cost effective and encourages self-assessment by the managers. The Workbook has a complementary website (www.wiomsa.org\mpaworkbook.htm) and CD ROM.
