The document discusses the ICZM Protocol and its relevance for managing coastal aquifers in the Mediterranean region. It provides background on the Mediterranean Action Plan and Barcelona Convention, which established seven legal frameworks including the ICZM Protocol. The ICZM Protocol aims to support sustainable management of coastal zones and natural resources like water. It requires parties to consider impacts on coastal aquifers from groundwater extraction or pollution. The document argues the ICZM Protocol can help parties integrate management of coastal zones, river basins, and aquifers/groundwater through national strategies and transboundary cooperation.
Integrated coastal zone management has evolved over several decades from focusing on land use planning and wetlands conservation in the 1970s-1980s to incorporating concepts of sustainable development following the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and 2002 Johannesburg Summit. Key milestones included the U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, the EU's 1999 ICZM demonstration program, and the 2010 Mediterranean protocol on ICZM. Effective integrated management requires nested or multi-scale governance across watersheds, coastal zones, and ocean areas, as well as coordination between different levels of government, private industry, and civil society. It is an adaptive process that combines scientific and local knowledge through mutual learning and seeks to balance development needs with biodiversity conservation.

ICZM-Hormozgan-First visit Repot
1. First site visit of the ICZM project study team from the coastlines and coastal counties of Hormozgan Province
١Sep. 5 to Set. 12, 2015
First site visit of the ICZM project study team from the coastlines and coastal counties of
Hormozgan Province (Sep. 5 to Set. 12, 2015):
Scrutinizing the ICZM plan for coastlines of the Hormozgan province tries to provide a road map
for a harmonized and balanced development along the coastlines of the province through
identification of economical, social, environmental, and administrative issues in the province. To
this end it is necessary to investigate other issues such as cultural heritage, passive defense, and
natural hazards along the coastlines of the Hormozgan province as well.
For scrutinizing the ICZM plan for Hormozgan province all the human activities and their spatial
distribution in the region (land use) should be carefully studied. These land uses include
agriculture, forestry, fishery, pasture, industry, tourism, residential, etc. Hence, site visits are
vital part of the studies that provide the required knowledge and understanding regarding these
activities and their internal and external relations that can affect the objectives of ICZM.
The first site visit of the coastlines of Hormozgan province took place between Sep. 5 and Sep.
12, 2015 with contribution of 12 experts from 3 consulting companies of SPI, Arseh, and OCE.
This site visit has been planned in such a way that in each day of the visit, the coastlines of one
of the seven coastal counties of Hormozgan province were visited and on the afternoon of the
same day a meeting was hold with the local authorities, experts, and trustful native individuals to
discuss about the main problems and priorities and exchanging the ideas. In these meetings the
ICZM study team tried to become familiar with the existing conflicts and the current problems in
the coastal areas and to know the power points and also weaknesses of the region. The study
team also compared the results of their office work with the real situation on the ground and
completed some of the gaps that were recognized in the course of study.
It should be mentioned that the study team were warmly welcomed by local authorities and
native experts of the coastal counties of Jask, Sirik, Minaab, Bandar Abbas, Khamir, Lengeh, and
Parsian. This caused the visit to become very pleasant and fruitful.
Some of the outcomes of the first site visit are mentioned below:
1‐ Face to face discussion with the local authorities and native experts and sharing the
ideas and concerns regarding the coastal problems
2‐ Explaining the goals and objectives of ICZM and correcting or adjusting the level of
expectations of the local people and authorities from ICZM project
2. First site visit of the ICZM project study team from the coastlines and coastal counties of Hormozgan Province
٢Sep. 5 to Set. 12, 2015
3‐ Spatial recognition and field observation of the issues related to ICZM thematic studies
by the study team members
4‐ Exchanging the ideas between study team members and proposing viewpoints and
raising critical questions that can enhance the quality of the outcome
5‐ Creating systematic thinking approach in the study team members, understanding the
existing connections, and conducting sensitivity analysis of the data that can reduce the
level of uncertainty in the final outcome of the project
6‐ Listening to the view points of the local authorities, members of the city councils, local
experts, and other stake holders for screening the issues and prioritization of the
identified problems
7‐ Understanding the current social processes and human problems in the region such as
undevelopment, poverty, unemployment, economical limitations, cultural challenges,
and environmental problems
8‐ Field control of some important issues such as “protected areas” in the coastal region
9‐ Visiting a number of cultural heritage sites and recognition of the cultural values of the
native people
10‐ Making proper spatial connections between human structures and natural processes
and vice versa
11‐ Spatial recognition of the management zone boundaries along the coastal area
12‐ Direct access to the viewpoints of the local managers regarding the coastal issues
