Lisboa – march 2012
Context
River Basin District Administrations (2008)
Mission: protect and enhance the environmental components of
water, and proceed to the sustainable management of
water resources
Tagus River Basin District Administration - Responsible on
planning, licensing and surveilance, on its jurisdiction area:
- Tagus river basin
- West river basin
Current new organizational model:
• National Water Authority
• 5 River Basin District Administrations

The main tools for managing the coast:
- 4 Coastal Zone Spatial and Management Plans (publ. 1998 - 2003)
- Tagus Estuary Spatial and Management Plan (under development)

Coastal zone
First generation coastal zone spatial and management plans context
Peralta Beach – Lourinhã e Praia da Duquesa - Cascais
1971 – 1992 - Awakening of environmental concerns. Portugal joins
the European Union (National Ecological Reserve, Basic Law for
Environmental Policy, regulation for Urban Coastal Management, ...)
1992 - Maritime Public Domain management responsabilities in coastal
areas without harbour interess in the Ministry of the Environment
(Decree-Law No. 201/92 of 29 September)
1993 - Legislation providing for the development of a Coastal Zone Spatial
and Management Plan - suppletive instruments with national interest
goals, that establish natural resources and values safeguard
regimes and a sustainable use of territory allowing an integrated
approach to the coastal zone (exception: harbour areas)
1864 - Royal Decree
1867 - Civil code
beginning of Public Water Domain concept
Effective in 1971: Decree-Law No. 468/71 of 5
November
Rules for the allocation of Maritime Public Domain private
uses for beach facilities, and infrastructures and regulation
for the occupation of the remaining coastal zone were
required
2 scales:
- spatial planning - 1:25.000
- beaches uses management - 1:2.000 (with indications to
project development)
Main goals:
- Sort the different uses and specific activities of coastal zone;
- Classify beaches and regulate bathing and related activities;
- Restore/enhance beaches which are considered strategic for
environment and tourism;
- Framing the development of specific activities of coastal zone;
- Ensure the protection and conservation of natural systems.
First generation coastal zone spatial and management plans
2000- Water Framework Directive (WFD) for Community action in the field of water policy
2005- Transposition of the WFD into national policy - Water Law -, that define national water policy based on river basins
lying within national territory.
Holistic water management - a new paradigm of planning and management of coastal zone recognizing the fundamental
role of river systems and their river basin
2006- Approved: National Strategy for the Sea (2006-2016)
2006 - Bathing waters management Directive (Directive nº2006/7/CE)
Inovative approach - introduces the bathing water quality management
and prevention concept (pro-active approach)
Involves:
- Defining a Bathing Water Profile for each bathing water (beach)
- Information to the public available on the beaches and in the internet
- Monitoring and classification of the bathing waters quality
Nowadays context
2008- Creation: River Basin District Administration
2009- Published: National Strategy for Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Other special spatial and management plans:
- Maritime Spatial Plan
- Estuary Spatial and Management Plans
- Nature Conservation Plans
- Natura 2000 Network Sectoral and Management Plans

Risk information
The same entity management allows, more integrated
and uniform territorial approach, without loosing local
specificity;
A coastal lagoon, an island and harbour areas (in study)
will be now also included
First generation plans assessment
Some conclusions:
Development of a single
coastal zone spatial and
management plan, for all
Tagus River Basin District
Administration, jurisdiction
area;
In articulation with the 13 coastal municipalities, maritime
authorities and other important local partners working
towards:
- improvement of beaches quality their facilities and
infrastructures;
- risk mitigation and monitoring;
- monitoring bathing water quality;
- quality improvement of public spaces at urban fronts;
- coastal rivers recover;
- coastal territories certification;
- safeguarding and conditioning Maritime Public
Domain uses and occupation through the issuing
of licenses.
First generation plans assessment
• An integrated approach to the territory;
• Establishment of interinstitutional cooperation
models;
• Recognition of Maritime Public Domain as a public
good;
• Identification and awareness of coastal hazards;
Intervention to stabilize the cliffs in Areia Branca Beach (Lourinhã)
Plans assessment: Positive Aspects
• Definition of specific measures for risk management to avoid
people and property damage;
• Identification of critical points and promotion of urban sprawl
containment;
• New rules for human occupation, safeguarding natural
systems and values;
• Definition of degraded natural systems rehabilitation
• Programming spatial planning interventions, infra-
structure and requalification of beach areas - beach
facilities, access and parking, according to the estimated
carrying capacity of the beaches and environment;
• Demolition of illegal buildings and infrastructures, in
some cases, in order to restore compliance and
environmental restoration;
• Increased scientific and technical knowledge on the
existing situation and information systematization;
• Increased awareness of society and its environmental
responsibility.

Praia da Légua - before and after
Plans assessment: Positive Aspects
Second generation plans: Challenges
• More dynamic and flexible plans enabling adaptive management
• More transparent and participatory plans elaboration and implementation, from the first moment
involving all relevant sectors of society;
• Greater technical expertise concerning public participation;
• Promote synergies and create partnerships with public and private entities for coastal zone
management;
• Improve scientific and technical knowledge especially in regard to aquatic environment
• Assume the vocation of maritime range spatial planning;
Second generation plans: Challenges
• Establishing Monitoring Programs for Natural Systems and Monitoring Programs for
Plan Implementation (appraisal);
• Define a set of tools (zoning, regulations, action plans, contingency plans,
environmental impact assessments) to prevent potentially negative impacts on natural
systems and resources;
• Ensure mapping of maximum high line – high astronomical tide - and the margin of
coastal water and establishment of Public Domain register occupations
• Make implementation and financing programs, achievable, measurable and adaptable;
• Rationalize efforts and human and financial resources to employ
.

Legend: (1) Outer limit of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ): 200 miles from the baseline ( The normal baseline for measuring the
breadth of the territorial sea is the sea level.)(2) Outer limit of the continental shelf; (3) Outer limit of the territorial sea;(4) Maximum low line – Low Astronomical Tide (LAT); (5) Maximum high line – High Astronomical Tide (HAT); (6) Landward limit of the margin. This will be 50 m or more, if it is a beach;
(7) Inner Limit of contingent adjacent zone.
