2008. He pointed out the importance of CAMP since it is an important tool for achieving participation and to dialogue with partners and stakeholders not only at the local but also at national and international level. He continued to outline the ambitiousness of CAMP Italy Project, focusing on the importance of horizontal level activities in relation with other CAMP Projects and referred to the crucial role of CAMP in the Barcelona Convention and in National strategies to implement coastal zone management planning. He concluded by introducing the Representatives of local authorities of the Sardinia Region, as well as Representatives of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany Regions and the main Organizations and Institutions (MELS, PAP/RAC, INFO/RAC and CoNISMa).

Mr. Giorgio Onorato Cicalò, delegated Special Commissioner of the Coastal Conservatory Agency of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia (ARS), welcomed the participants and presented the welcome addresses on behalf of Ms. Donatella Spano, ARS Councilor for Environment Protection, and Ms. Maria Grazia Piras, ARS Councilor of Industry, that could not attend the meeting. He outlined the significance of CAMP Italy for the Sardinia Region since local policies aim at restoring and protecting the environment at different levels. In this regard, CAMP Italy become an implementing framework to defend natural resources and enhance sustainable development among the Region, while also secure socio-economic territorial dynamics. In fact, Sardinia Region is linked to its territory because of its environmental and cultural characteristics but also for its socio-economic values.

The Deputy Mayor of Alghero Mr. Raimondo Cacciotto, attended the Conference to represent the Mayor who was engaged in a meeting of the Council. He welcomed the participants and expressed his gratitude to the Regional Park of Porto Conte for hosting the Conference. He showed his interest in the keen activities carried out by the Sardinia Region-Coastal Conservatory Agency and concluded that CAMP Italy would represent a valid solution for the sustainable management of coastal areas with attention to socio-economic issues.

Mr. Vittorio Gazale, Director of the Regional Park of Porto Conte, introduced the importance of the Park and presented its characteristics to be an example of the recovering not only of biodiversity richness but also of local culture and traditions. In addition he presented the history of the Park, which was an ancient prison now converted and valued as a Regional Park that hosts in its territory exclusive and rare species with significance not only at national but also at international level. Thus, he expressed his concrete consideration and expectations for CAMP Italy Project in the years to come and renovated the support of the Park.

The Director of PAP/RAC Ms. Željka Škaričić, stated that the day of the Conference is the result of a long and active collaboration between Regions, Ministry of the Environment (MELS) and UNEP/MAP. The Project itself is the expression of the will to find solutions to different and common problems arising from the management of coastal areas. It is of the utmost importance to preserve a good environmental status of marine and coastal environment since mismanagement would negatively affect coastal population also from an economic point of view (e.g. Tourism sector). A mobilization of a full set of available capacities is needed in order to suggest solutions at different levels. Although Regions advance specific thematics it is important to pursue common goals as a cohesion element of harmonization and calibration. In addition, she outlined the importance of strengthening the national framework on ICZM with regard also to the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

She also acknowledged the Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea in the person of the focal point, Mr. Oliviero Montanaro, for supporting the activities. Then she showed appreciation to Sardinian Institutions and praised the beauty of the area and its excellences (environment, culture, local products). She renewed full support from PAP/RAC in CAMP Italy, but she underlined that the success of the project will result in the complete and active implication of Italy and the Regions. Mr. Annibale Cutrona, Director of CoNISMa, as supporter of CAMP Italy Project presented the welcoming of the President Mr. Angelo Tursi and Mr. Michele Scardi while introducing the structure and the various fields of activity of CoNISMa, which addresses issues linked to the sea with a holistic approach. CoNISMa has an extensive experience with CAMP Italy Project and has the specific role of operational support to the National Coordinator for cross-cutting activities through the convention with ISPRA and with the supervision of MELS. It also has peculiar characteristics since it manages multilevel activities related to marine and coastal areas so that it is an important reference for CAMP Italy. In particular, he focused on the activities more related to CAMP project, such as activities in thematic areas of research, in management of the territory and in social sciences. In order to explain the reason of its participation in CAMP Italy, he outlined the importance of CoNISMa - with the presence in the territory of 32 Universities and almost 61 projects involving local, national and international actors - as member of the Marine Board presented some projects related to CAMP main thematic areas (e.g. GIACOMED project) while introducing its important representation in EU framework and cooperation with local institutions, research centers and other environmental agencies. The Chairperson Mr. Gaetano Leone concluded the first part of the welcoming addresses pointing out the relevance of replicability of UN Programmes as CAMP in the Mediterranean area, since it possesses strong cultural identities so that the formulation and implementation of CAMP projects should be envisaged in this basin. In fact, marine and coastal environment suffers from different anthropogenic pressures, rising from coastal development, pollution and chemical contamination of biota, marine litter, exploitation of fish stocks, aquaculture systems, deep sea fishing, offshore, dredging, eutrophication and other cumulative effects insisting in the coastal area. After almost 40 years of successful operations and under the auspices of UNEP and the Mediterranean Action Plan, the Barcelona Convention remains the only binding instrument able to find solutions to marine and coastal issues. The coordination and support comes from Athens but other six Regional Centers are actively involved. CAMP is a pioneer programme - to date only two Countries in the Mediterranean basin have not undertaken a CAMP project- and the ICZM has paved the way in finding advanced and efficient solutions, so that CAMP projects represent real and valuable solution. In this context, CAMP Italy represents a real change for its complexity and richness on proposing new solutions and tools for the Mediterranean network of CAMP Projects. Part II

Workshop thematic presentations Ms. Željka Škaričić, introduced CAMP Programme and Project after acknowledging the valuable work carried out by the National Coordinator of CAMP Italy, Ms. Daniela Addis, and renovating the support and assistance of PAP/RAC in the activities of coordination.

sustainable development is the main objective in all projects in addition to ICZM Protocol. In fact, CAMP is an applicable demonstration of the ICZM Protocol (art. 27) since it contemplates the presence of pilot projects of integrated coastal management at the national level. She outlined the importance of the participatory process and capacity building activities for the success of the projects. Afterwards, she presented three examples of CAMP project generations explaining they represent different levels of CAMP. She introduced the first generation of CAMP in Croatia and Turkey since they are two example of bilateral cooperation between the two nations and PAP/RAC to solve specific problems in the territory such as water management and sewerage issues. The, she presented the second generation of CAMP with the example of Algeria, explaining that this project was more complex and related to sustainable development issues such as urbanization, pollution and national strategies of integrated management. Finally, she presented the third generation of CAMP, with the example of CAMP Levante de Almeria Spain, in which, by means of a learning and participation process involving the administrations and territorial stakeholders, the problems affecting coastal management can be diagnosed in such a way as to produce a common project for the territory, materialized in a strategy which lays down the steps to be followed in order to make socio-economic development compatible with the conservation of nature. Mr. Oliviero Montanaro, who gave his speech via Skype connection, presented the greetings to the assembly also for Mr. Gian Luca Galletti (Minister for the Environment) and Mr. Renato Grimaldi (Director-DG Natural and Sea Protection), who could not attend the meeting for institutional reasons. He outlined the importance of CAMP project in Italy since it is essential as a support to strengthen ICZM at the national level. In fact, the project will help to gain experience in integrated coastal zone management, especially with regard in understanding and experimenting criticalities. He presented the Feasibility Study and activities that led to CAMP Italy to be an institutional laboratory of good governance and best practices in sustainable development issues. In particular, he expressed the interest in creating a CAMP network and outlined the need to learn from other experiences in order to find common strategies to be adapted in the Mediterranean framework. Thus, he put the accent on the use of CAMP systems in order to gain experience and to learn from common coordination, collaboration and confrontation. MAP Components are relevant in helping CAMP to become a full operative tool in Italy. He suggested to test and improve contributions on ecosystem approach throughout CAMP Italy Project and in connection with ECAP, EU Marine Strategy and the related Good Environmental Status (GES). CAMP Italy would represent a core set of concrete and useful instruments and activities to bring ICZM issues at the national level, also with the aim to ratify and fully implement the Protocol. The Coordinator of CAMP Italy Project, Ms. Daniela Addis, welcomed the participants and expressed her gratitude to the Regional Park of Porto Conte for hosting the Conference. Then she introduced in detail CAMP Italy Project, presenting the main goals and objectives of the project, which aims at enhancing and reinforcing cooperation among the network of CAMP projects and to strengthening the valuable role of the project at national level. With regard to cooperation, she acknowledged the presence of the main supporters of CAMP Italy, especially of BLUE PLAN, INFO/RAC, MED POL, PAP/RAC, SCP/RAC and SPA/RAC that will support the activities during these two years to come. She gave particular attention to the various activities carried out and introduced the different thematic areas while explaining the project’s structure, activities, objectives and expected results. In particular, she focused on the importance of the experimentation and activation of harmonized contributions and outlined the importance of the main objective related to the ICZM Protocol and its ratification.

Ms. Jelena Knezevic (Montenegro), welcomed the participants and presented challenges and opportunities arising from CAMP Montenegro experience. She thanked the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism of Montenegro as well the MAP components for the precious support. She outlined the importance of CAMP activities especially for coastal and marine spatial planning in the region. Among the main activities she presented the data collection and analysis since they are useful for the integration of national decision making also at the administrative level. Data are important for understanding the territory and to predict possible setbacks while minimizing various pressures. She said that CAMP experience was helpful for enhancing sustainable management of coastal areas, the agriculture and tourism sectors and to undertake prevention policies with regard to hydrology, water and spatial planning issues. The project also helped in capacity building and implemented national policies with regard to ECAP. Ms. Ana Correa Peña (Spain), presented her compliments to the inception of CAMP Italy Project and affirmed that CAMP is a dynamic adventure to be accomplished and adapted to different realities. She presented the Spain framework insisting on the intensive agriculture persisting in Almeria. In fact, the agriculture is in competition with tourism sector and with high value biodiversity. She explained the complexity of the mitigation of various and different interests occurring in the region and presented CAMP as an opportunity to find common solutions. It is important to involve all actors, from citizens to institutions and economic stakeholders in order to setting out shared management responsibilities. Moreover, she presented the Coastal Commission, Coastal Council and Forum as institutional bodies of CAMP Spain and outlined the importance of the approval of a framework for sustainable development within the region. She concluded affirming that CAMP possesses realistic and feasible strategies although complex in their development. Mr. Slavko Mezek (Slovenia), presented the activities and scopes of CAMP Slovenia for the period 2004-2007, which consisted in an area of 15.000km ² with 120.000 inhabitants distributed in 8 municipalities. The thematic of the project related mainly to spatial planning with a focus on coastal areas, management of MPAs and regional strategies of sustainable development. In addition, the project contributed to a regional project of water management and analysis and it helped in formulating a Regional Development Programme for coastal areas for the period 2007-2013. He insisted in the importance of cooperation among different actors and institutions both at local and national levels that helped in supporting proposals

and actions undertaken within the CAMP. Moreover, the participatory process contributed in enhancing the concept of sustainable development among the region. He outlined the importance of linking the CAMP activities with the existing legal framework to guarantee the success of CAMP activities and objectives. Ms. Maria Snoussi (Morocco) in her message to the Conference assembly confirmed that CAMP is a complex and challenging experience but certainly extremely rewarding. In fact, working directly with the local population allowed to understand the importance of participatory process for the success of the ICZM strategies. She encouraged to involve all stakeholders from the beginning of the project, even if they seem not to collaborate, since misunderstandings would reduce through the dialogue. She concluded wishing good luck to the new CAMP Italy. Part III

Presentation of Horizontal and Individual Activities The Conference reopened after the lunch break (prepared with local products of the Autonomous Sardinia Region) and Ms. Daniela Addis introduced the following contributions for the Horizontal and Individual Activities, as moderator of the second part of the meeting. Mr. Claudio Maricchiolo, Director of INFO/RAC, presented the role of the RAC in the activities of CAMP Italy Project related to Horizontal Activity 1 “Coordination and dissemination of the results”. In particular, he outlined the importance of being a portal of cooperation and a consolidated infrastructure for access to data. The cooperation and sharing of information and data (ITC) among CAMP components and partners will facilitate especially the activities of the Regions and Institutions while also cooperating at international level. He introduced the objectives and activities that will be carried out by INFO/RAC, particularly the support to general coordination, evaluation of the results with a sustainable development of actions, setting of the project’s structure and of institutional arrangements, and organization of mayor events.

Concerning the use of social networks he pointed out the problem of their complexity and suggested to identify a common strategy to be adopted among partners. Mr. Luigi E. Cipriani, representative of Tuscany Region, presented the Horizontal Activity 3 “Data collection and management” and pointed up their role in supporting the collection and sharing of data among the partner Regions. He introduced the main objectives and explained the role of data in helping, supporting and finding solutions for specific actions in CAMP Regions. He outlined the importance of an interoperability system of data collection with easy access and with regard to EU regulations (INSPIRE- Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe). Moreover, he presented as an example the system adopted in Tuscany (RESMAR Project-Web GIS) and praised for the use of an open source system to be adopted and used within CAMP Italy Project and the Mediterranean basin, in relation with the Mediterranean Interoperable Spatial Data Infrastructure in the framework of PEGASO- COASTGAP Network as a concrete example of capitalization. Then, he suggested defining guidelines for shared coastal monitoring and adopting a common legend between the Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Sardinia Regions especially with regard to data on coastal evolution (i.e. linear variation and annual rates). Mr. Giorgio Onorato Cicalò, delegated Special Commissioner of the Coastal Conservatory Agency-ARS, presented the Horizontal Activity 4 “Institutional coordination and public participation”. He outlined the need of a solid participatory process among institutions, partners and stakeholders in order to promote cross-sectorial coordination between different institutional actors with the aim of facilitating the creation of a National ICZM Network. He detailed the article 14 of the ICZM Protocol with regard to the active participation of local authorities and public bodies concerned, economic operators, non-governmental organizations, social actors and citizens. Thus, he underlined the operational steps for the stakeholders mapping and he presented a particular way of implication in the participatory process with the method EASW – Pro Action Cafè. He concluded with the presentation of the expected results and took as an example the Spain CAMP experience since it has similarity with Italian realities. Then the Chairperson Ms. Daniela Addis introduced the Individual activities, presented by Regional focal points. Mr. Emanuele Cimatti illustrated the Individual Activities related to the Emilia-Romagna Region. He explained the three thematic areas in connection with the activities carried out in the two areas of the Emilia-Romagna Region with regard also to the participation through online platforms realized by the Region (ER Partecipazione and ioPartecipo+). Then, he detailed the specific actions undertaken in the territory and in particular the regulatory process of drawing sands and aggregates in specific areas, the operational protocol for the rehabilitation and consolidation of dune strips (natural or artificial/reconstructed), conservation of marine and coastal biodiversity with particular reference to the conservation of minor species, development and exploitation in natural protected areas with new forms of sustainable tourism, education and communication on sustainability. The outputs and deliverables, which have a proper methodology, aim at improving the existing (lesson learnt) with a top down and bottom up approach and with adaptability and remodeling. Mr. Luigi E.
