In the Mediterranean, such a concept has been formalized in the ICZM Protocol within the framework of the Barcelona Convention. The main purpose of ICZM is the realization of a plan of environmental development aiming at increasing social and economical prosperity of coastal communities toward long-term, including interaction and resolution of conflicts between economical sectors, reaching sustainable use of natural coastal resources with maintenance of biodiversity. In the coastal area of Porto Empedocle (Strait of Sicily), where delicate ecosystems, fishery (small-scale, industrial and recreational), tourism, nautical and small industrial activities coexist, a study of integrated coastal management, focusing on sustainable development of artisanal fishery, was carried out. This study describes a methodological approach to ICZM through the analysis of territorial and anthropic data, the identification of strength points and limits to development, of the conflicts and of the potential in the study area, and the proposal of management suggestions.
Goals:
(1) Analysis of territorial and anthropic data in the Porto Empedocle coastal zone; (2) Identification of strength points and limits to development identification of conflicts and potential in the study area; (3) Suggestions aiming at the recovery of the small-scale fishery.
