TunisiaEU-funded MED4EBM project organized training event to improve integrated coastal zone management processes
During the month of September the EU-funded MED4EBM strategic partners in Lebanon, Italy, Jordan and Tunisia completed a training event around “The Use of Innovative Tools to Tackle the Incorporation Of Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) Into Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Processes.
The objective of the training is to introduce innovative methods and tools which make EBM-ICZM much easier to apply for the professional team, the stakeholders, and the decision makers involved.
The training presents a software application of methodological tools, to plan, implement and monitor EBM through a participatory and evidence-based approach. This will help the planning team and relent stakeholders to identify and quantitatively assess the relationships between ecosystem components, functions and services, along with the associated human activities, toward the establishment of a multi-stakeholders ICZM scheme.
The actual mainstreaming of Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) in Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is still limited mainly because the practical application of EBM is a challenging task for ICZM actors. The EU-funded MED4EBM project will tackle this issue by assisting ICZM actors in four coastal areas of Jordan, Italy, Lebanon and Tunisia to jointly develop and apply a common methodology to make ecosystem-based ICZM much easier to design and implement by applying innovative techniques and methods.
