Integrated Coastal Zone Management Strategy for Montenegro

Inception Report

In delivering ICZM as a way for ensuring sustainable use of coastal resources, economic prosperity

and social welfare of coastal populations, PAP/RAC focuses its efforts on providing technical

assistance, guidelines and methodologies for the practical implementation of ICZM in selected

Mediterranean coastal regions through the projects of the MAP Coastal Area Management

Programmes (CAMPs).

Since 1989, several cycles or generations of CAMP projects were implemented in (listed

chronologically, from the past to recent CAMPs): Albania, Croatia, Greece, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey,

Egypt, Israel, Algeria, Lebanon, Malta, Slovenia, Cyprus and Morocco delivering integrated

sustainable development solutions in partnership with national authorities and local communities.

Cultural heritage and protected areas have always been in the core of these projects.

Currently, CAMP Spain is to be completed soon, while CAMP Montenegro is in its full swing and

should be completed next year. Two new projects are being negotiated, namely CAMP France and

CAMP Italy.

All these projects can be considered as a new generation of CAMPs seen as ICZM Protocol

implementation projects at local level, i.e. as prototype interventions to assist countries to

implement the Protocol.

Note:

This Inception Report was prepared by Ms Jelena Knežević,

General Co-ordinator of the CAMP Montenegro project, with the

support of the Priority Actions Programme Regional Activity

Centre (PAP/RAC), namely, Ms Marina Marković, PAP/RAC CAMP

Montenegro Co-ordinator, Ms Branka Barić, PAP/RAC Assistant to

CAMP Montenegro Project and Mr Gojko Berlengi, PAP/RAC

Spatial Planning Team Leader of the CAMP Montenegro project.

Valuable contribution to the preparation of the Report was

provided by the MAP Regional Activity Centres (RACs) involved in

CAMP Montenegro, i.e. the Regional Activity Centre for Cleaner

Production (CP/RAC) and the Regional Activity Centre for Specially

Protected Areas (SPA/RAC), as well as the Programme for the

Assessment and Control of Marine Pollution in the Mediterranean

Region (MED POL).

1. Introduction

1.1

General framework

The Coastal Area Management Programme

(CAMP) projects supported by the

Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) promote

Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as a tool to

ensure that a variety of human activities in the

coastal areas are co-ordinated and managed for

the achievement of sustainability goals. The

main objectives of CAMPs are:

� to develop strategies and procedures for

sustainable development in a project area,

with a view to implementing specifically the

ICZM Protocol;

� to identify and apply relevant methodologies

and tools;

� to contribute to the capacity building at local,

national and regional levels;

� to secure a wider use of the results achieved

in the region.

The Coastal Area Management Programme

(CAMP) project for Montenegro is implemented

jointly by MAP and the Montenegrin Ministry of

Sustainable Development and Tourism (MSDT),

with the involvement of local self-governments

from the project area and of other relevant

institutions. Initial steps in developing the CAMP

Montenegro were taken in 2005, when the

Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention

approved the decision to carry out the CAMP

Project for Montenegro at their 14th Ordinary

Meeting (held on 8 – 11 November 2005 in

Portoroz, Slovenia), following a request

presented by the Government of Montenegro.

The decision to start with the initiation of the

CAMP Montenegro was adopted at the meeting

in Split, on 18 – 19 December 2006. The

Feasibility Study (FS) was prepared in the period

December 2007 – May 2008.

A series of consultative meetings were held

within the FS preparation process with all the

coastal area stakeholders, soliciting their

opinions, analysing issues and challenges for

sustainable development of the coastal area and

identifying activities and project area for the

CAMP. Based on the findings of the FS and

subsequent developments, as well as on the

discussions with the then Ministry of Spatial

Planning and Environment (a predecessor of

MSDT) and other relevant national institutions

from February 2010, a draft CAMP Project

Agreement was prepared. The draft Project

Agreement was adjusted in spring 2011 to take

into account a number of initiatives and pre-

CAMP activities that were implemented in the

period 2010 – 2011, which led to signing of the

Agreement on 30 May 2011.

The main objectives of the CAMP Montenegro

are formulated in line with general objectives of

all CAMP projects and they include:

� creation of necessary mechanisms that can

help achieve sustainable development of the

coastal area;

� support for the implementation of national

policies and the ICZM Protocol of the

Barcelona Convention;

� promotion of integrated and participatory

planning and management in the coastal

area;

� development of national and local capacities

for ICZM and raising awareness of the

importance of the coastal area, complexity

and fragility of its ecosystems and of the need

for integrated approaches in managing them;

� facilitation of the transfer of knowledge on

ICZM tools and approaches.

2

The coastal area of Montenegro is an area with a

high development potential where there are

complex relations between human activities and

natural environments and pronounced pressures

on natural resources. In order to preserve the

development potential, primarily through

preservation of resource base of the area and

qualities of the natural and manmade

environments, it is necessary to provide for an

integrated approach in planning and in managing

the coastal area.

The concept of Integrated Coastal Zone

Management (ICZM) is embedded in a number

of policies and strategic documents in

Montenegro. The country is committed to

sustainable development, and has adopted the

National Strategy for Sustainable Development.

Montenegro has ratified the Barcelona

Convention and five of its Protocols, with the

ICZM Protocol ratification taking place in

December 2011.

The main strategic orientation of the country is

the accession to the EU1, and there is an on-

going process of harmonisation of national

legislation with the EU acquis. The integrated

management concepts and tools are thus being

increasingly incorporated into the national legal

framework.

In parallel, there are on-going efforts to increase

capacities of institutions to implement new

legislation and sustainable development policies.

The existing institutional framework, even

though with pronounced weaknesses in respect

to co-ordination and overall capacities, has

substantial strengths and potentials for ICZM. An

interest for the CAMP implementation was

expressed both at the national and local level.

With the above in mind, the main arguments in

favour of the CAMP Montenegro are:

1 Status of a Candidate Country was received in

November 2010; the accession negotiations started in June 2012.

� there is a high level of commitment to

sustainable development of the coastal area;

� policy framework is favourable for the

implementation of the CAMP Montenegro,

and the same increasingly applies to the legal

framework;

� the existing institutions can provide necessary

structures for the CAMP implementation, and

there is an interest for the Programme both

at the national and local level;

� the CAMP can play an important role in

creating conditions for the integrated and

effective management of the coastal area of

Montenegro.

1.2

The Project area

The CAMP Montenegro will be implemented in

the entire coastal area of Montenegro as

systemic problems which need to be addressed

to ensure sustainable coastal development are

the same in the entire Montenegrin coastal zone

The CAMP Montenegro will also facilitate the

implementation of the ICZM Protocol of the

Barcelona Convention (ratified in December 2011).

The project area comprises territories of six

coastal municipalities – Herceg Novi, Kotor,

Tivat, Budva, Bar and Ulcinj – with the total

surface of 1,591 km2 and internal waters and

territorial sea with the surface of around

2,500 km2. Some of the typical natural features

of the coastal area include a diversified

geological composition and complex geo-

tectonic structure, plain coastal areas/ fields and

beaches, steep elevations of Orjen, Lovcen and

Rumija mountains, short watercourses and the

exquisite Bay of Boka with several smaller bays.

According to the relevant spatial plans, the total

length of the mainland seashore is 288.2 km (out

of which 105.5 km in the Bay of Boka). The

islands’ shores are 25.6 km long, while the

length of the shore along the river Bojana is

22.8 km. The project area is shown in the Figure

1.1.

3

Figure 1.1: CAMP project area

The coastal area is the most developed and

densely populated part of Montenegro. It is well

known for its natural attractions and cultural

heritage. As such, the region has been of

particular interest for the development of

tourism. The region is also considered an

attractive area for living, which has caused

continuous migrations (within Montenegro)

towards the coast. According to the 2011 census,

population of the region was 148,683 (close to

one quarter of the total population of the

country), which makes a population density of

93 inhabitants per km². Population projections

by the year 2020 envisage an increase of roughly

7% (which would bring the total population of

the region to around 160,000). The GDP per

capita is on the similar level as in the central

region and twice as much as the GDP per capita

in the northern region2. Development and urban

capacities are mainly linearly located along the

coast line. Investment pressure is high and it

contributes to uncontrolled development.

Tourism is one of the priority economic sectors

in Montenegro, whereas more than 95% of the

total number of tourists and overnight stays

recorded in the country during the last years

were linked to the coastal region. Other

important economic activities include

construction, transport and trade. Agriculture is

not a significant activity in the coastal area yet it

2 In 2010, the GDP per capita at the national level

was 5,006 € (current prices).

plays an important role as an activity that

supplements household incomes and

contributes to tourism development and

preservation of traditional Mediterranean

agricultural practices. Fishing is not highly

developed; nevertheless, there are examples of

unsustainable use of fish stocks. Environmental

infrastructure is insufficient to meet the

development needs and provide for adequate

environmental protection.

The coastal area of Montenegro is an important

biodiversity spot (in terms of habitat and species

diversity) and home to several rare and endemic

species. Important coastal and marine

communities and habitats include sand dunes,

coastal and inland wetlands, and sea grass

meadows (Posidonia oceanica, Cymodocea

nodosa). Halophyte vegetation, fragments of

Skadar Oak (Quercus robur scutariensis) forests,

some migratory bird species and Posidonia

oceanica are among rare and/or endangered

species of the coastal and marine biodiversity.

1.3

Main problems in the CAMP area

The following issues can be singled out as the

main problems in the CAMP area:

� Institutional and legal frameworks are

complex, competencies are not always clearly

delineated while horizontal and vertical co-

ordination between different parts of

administration is insufficient; there is a room

for improvement when it comes to

participation of different stakeholders in

policy making.

� Integrated or ecosystem-based approaches

are not at the core of the planning system

(including the spatial planning); sectoral

approaches are still prevalent, which

exacerbates conflicts between environment

and development.

� Capacity for the application of ICZM tools and

mechanisms is limited; awareness and

specific knowledge needed to ensure

sustainable development are insufficient,

while information on environmental aspects

of coastal processes is often incomplete or

lacking altogether.

� There are strong pressures on coastal

environment, primarily from urbanization

and tourism development.

� Harmonisation of national and local level

spatial plans, as well as integration of ICZM

Protocol requirements into the spatial plans

is a challenge.

� Valuable marine and terrestrial ecosystems

and cultural heritage at the coast are in

various ways threatened by the current and

planned development.

� Pollution from land-based sources (including

waste, wastewater and industry) as well as

from maritime activities needs to be more

efficiently prevented/controlled.

In response to the above, activities will be

implemented through the CAMP Montenegro

aiming to develop, apply and demonstrate

methods, concepts and tools to address existing

and future management problems in the coastal

area.

1.4

Project Agreement

Following the preparation of the draft Project

Agreement in spring 2010, as well as a result of

meetings that took place on 25 – 26 June 2010

(with representatives of the then Ministry of

Spatial Planning and Environment) and on 10

February 2011 (with representatives of MSDT), a

number of pre-CAMP activities was agreed upon

and implemented. These included the

preparation of an analysis for the

implementation of Article 8 of the ICZM Protocol

on the Protection and sustainable use of the

coastal zone in the spatial planning system of

Montenegro and the preparation of expert

guidelines for the Terms of Reference for the

5

Montenegrin Coastal Area Spatial Plan (CASP)3.

These activities, as well as changes in terms of

institutional and legislative framework for

implementing the national environmental and

spatial planning policy, have resulted with the

redefinition of the originally planned CAMP

activities and preparation of a revised Project

Agreement which was signed in May 2011.

The Project Agreement provides the basic

framework for the project implementation as it

defines project goals, structure, contents and

implementation arrangements for the activities

to be carried out within the CAMP Project for

Montenegro. The Project Agreement also

defines the basic elements of individual project

activities, achievement indicators and post-

project activities to be implemented.

1.5

Related projects and initiatives

During the preparation of the CAMP

Montenegro, two projects that are closely

related to its rationale and objectives have been

initiated and are now under implementation.

These are the transboundary (Albania and

Montenegro) project on integrated management

of the Buna/Bojana basin, coastal area and

aquifers (implemented under the UNEP/MAP

GEF Strategic Partnership for the Mediterranean

Large Marine Ecosystem) and the preparation of

the National Strategy for Integrated Coastal

Zone Management (NS ICZM).

MAP (PAP/RAC) is assisting the country with the

development of the NS ICZM. The Strategy will

follow the requirements of the ICZM Protocol

(Art. 18 on National coastal strategies, plans and

programmes) and is also expected to contribute

to the implementation of the requirements of

the EU Water Framework Directive and Marine

3 Preparation of the new spatial plan to cover the

territory of the six coastal municipalities (the entire CAMP project area) has been initiated in 2011, and is expected to be completed by December 2013.

Strategy Framework Directive. In developing the

Strategy, the results of previous activities will be

utilised, including the draft ICZM Strategy of

2008.

The CAMP structure and implementation

arrangements, exchange of information and

integration of results that are detailed in this

Inception Report will also ensure a co-ordination

with the transboundary project on integrated

management of the Buna/Bojana basin, coastal

area and aquifers. On the other hand, the

priorities, objectives and goals of the

transboundary Bojana/Buna project are also

defined as to contribute to CAMP activities,

including the selection of the fields for actions

and composition of the expert team, as well as

the GIS data base establishment. While making

the selection of the expert team members,

special attention was paid to the synergy of the

activities under the CAMP Montenegro, the

transboundary Bojana/Buna project and the NS

ICZM, and to aligning the dynamics for three

projects and related consultative processes. The

results of the Buna/Bojana Transboundary

Integrated Management Plan that is under way

will be successively screened and used for the

CAMP baseline studies creation.

Furthermore, a number of other activities and

projects the outcomes of which are highly

relevant for the implementation of the CAMP

Montenegro are under way. The most important

ones are:

� Implementation of the ADRICOSM

Intermediate Project (a follow-up to the

previous ADRICOSM STAR project);

� A project entitled Establishment of the MPA

Katič and the on-going MPA 2 project

supported by the Italian Ministry for

Environment, Land and Sea;

� The on-going project related to the revision

and redefinition of the selected coastal

protected areas (beaches) that is managed by

the Institute for Nature Protection of

Montenegro under the supervision of the

6

Public Enterprise for Coastal Zone

Management;

� The on-going MedMPAnet project that is

implemented by SPA/RAC with the aim to

help the development of a network of Marine

and Coastal Protected Areas (MPAs) in

Montenegro (also implemented under the

UNEP/MAP GEF Strategic Partnership for the

Mediterranean Large Marine Ecosystem);

� GRECO Initiative.

2. Inception Report:

General objectives and activities related to its preparation

2.1

Objectives of the Inception Report

The Inception Report is the initial basic

document of the CAMP Montenegro project. The

purpose of the Report is to secure integration

and provide detailed instructions for the

implementation of the project, both at the

project level and at the level of each individual

project activity.

The Inception Report details the project

objectives, strategy and phasing, and describes

the project structure, institutional arrangements

and staffing. It also specifies expected results

and outcomes of the project, as well as

methodologies and tools to be applied, the work

plan and timetable for each activity, alongside

with the monitoring procedures. A Logical

Framework Analysis is used to describe the

project activities. The Inception Report also

entails ToRs for specific horizontal and individual

activities. Organisation of an Inception

Conference and preparation of a Conference

Report are also envisaged.

2.2

Implemented activities related to

the Inception Report

The complex and participatory extensive

consultative process preceded the preparation

of the Inception Report. It resulted with the

definition of the specifications for the CAMP

components, CAMP relations with the NS ICZM

and the transboundary Bojana/Buna project, as

well as with the inputs for structuring the expert

team to be recruited for the CAMP components

realisation. At the same time, a number of

meetings to discuss and agree on the CAMP

structure, its phasing and contents of its outputs

to be delivered have been organised.

The most important consultation meetings,

directly and indirectly linked to the Inception

Report development, are as follows:

activities.

10

3. Project objectives, strategy and phasing

3.1

Project objectives

The objectives of the CAMP Montenegro are

defined in accordance with the national

legislation, plans and programmes, identified

issues in managing the coastal zone, proposals

and needs of national and local institutions

responsible for the coastal zone management, as

well as in line with the general objectives of the

MAP.

The overall objective of the project is to support,

facilitate and propagate the efforts towards the

integrated management in the project area to

provide for environmental protection and

sustainable development.

Specific objectives of the project are:

� to create necessary mechanisms that can

help achieve sustainable development of the

coastal area;

� to support implementation of national

policies and the ICZM Protocol;

� to promote the integrated and participatory

planning and management in the coastal

area;

� to build the national and local capacities for

ICZM and raise awareness of the importance

of the coastal area, complexity and fragility of

its ecosystems and of the need for integrated

approaches in managing them; and

� to facilitate the transfer of knowledge on

ICZM tools and approaches.

3.2

Strategy

The project strategy is based on the

methodology of ICZM. The project will be

implemented within the existing national and

local legal and planning framework while having

in mind the European standards and practice,

using as the basic inputs the existing planning

and development-related documents, available

information on natural resources, socio-

economic conditions, problems, causes, sources

and impacts of pollution. The project will also

include the efforts to collate, analyse and

interpret the existing data to aid spatial planning

processes and sustainable land-use decisions.

The CAMP Montenegro belongs to a new

generation of CAMP programmes that are

created to strengthen national capacities

towards implementation of the ICZM Protocol.

At the same time, the CAMP Montenegro is

based on the need to create synergy in

implementing the ICZM and other MAP strategic

priorities and orientations, in particular those

defined in the SAP BIO and SAP MED. The

ecosystem approach and the EU Marine Strategy

goals are also among the most important

priorities to be taken into account.

In this framework, special attention during the

CAMP Montenegro implementation will be

placed on:

� development of tools and capacities for

integrated planning of the coastal area;

� linkages between spatial planning and coastal

zone management;

� protection of marine and coastal biodiversity;

� sustainable tourism development, including

ecotourism.

The CAMP Montenegro project will be

implemented by teams of national experts

assisted by MAP experts and international

consultants. Integration of project results will be

made jointly by MAP and the selected national

experts.

11

The MAP Regional Activity Centres (RACs) and

the MAP programmes that will, in the respective

areas of their expertise, provide technical

assistance to the project include:

� Co-ordinating Unit for MAP (MEDU);

� Priority Actions Programme Regional Activity

Centre (PAP/RAC);

� Specially Protected Areas Regional Activity

Centre (SPA/RAC);

� Information Regional Activity Centre

(INFO/RAC)4;

� Cleaner Production Regional Activity Centre

(CP/RAC); and

� MEDPOL.

In addition, national teams implementing

individual Project activities will use, as

appropriate, recommendations and

documentation prepared within hitherto MCSD

and EU activities. Administrative and technical

support related to the use of MCSD and EU

documents will be provided by the responsible

MAP component and the Montenegrin MSDT.

3.3

training - capacity development needs will be

prepared (including the topics and forms of

training).


� reports from the training courses;

� training materials and recommendations on

future individual capacity development

needs.

A 3.

Public participation and awareness raising

The general goal of this activity is to allow for

participation and involvement of the public in all

the project activities, to disseminate information

on coastal area values and vulnerabilities and to

promote sustainable development approaches

among the general public. Since the public

participation process is created to ensure that all

relevant stakeholders are involved in

formulation of project activities, setting of

vision, goals, objectives, indicators and definition

of expected results, as well as to provide for

their participation in the verification of the main

outcomes, the public participation process will

be extended through a number of main

workshops, depending on the availability of the

financial resources. The methodology to present

and to collect the relevant guidelines and

recommendations from a broad spectrum of

stakeholders, and to provide expert evaluation

of stakeholder contribution, will be developed

following the best public participation

experience and positive examples. The related

technical specification for the public

participation and awareness raising component

is attached in Annex I.

The key objectives are to:

� ensure that all the stakeholders are involved

in the formulation of project activities, setting

of goals, vision, objectives, indicators and in

the definition of expected results, as well as

in the verification of individual outputs.

� raise awareness of the importance of

sustainable management in the coastal area;

� emphasise values and fragility of coastal

ecosystems and natural resources; and

� promote the ICZM Protocol and respective

Barcelona Convention Protocols, and

decrease resistance to some ICZM

instruments that could be perceived as an

obstacle to development.

16


� defining the public participation methodology

to present and to collect the relevant

guidelines and recommendations from a

broad spectrum of stakeholders, and to

provide expert evaluation of stakeholder

contribution, based on the best public

participation experience and positive examples;

� organising the public participation process

having as the core set of action a number of

main workshops that are tailor-made around

the main phases of the individual activities:

presentation / consideration of the draft

sectoral (baseline) outputs; presentation /

consideration of the vulnerability assessment

result; discussing the vision, objectives,

indicators and development scenarios;

discussing the possible measures for the

ICZM Plan implementation and follow-up

activities;

� designing and executing an awareness-raising

campaign, mainly through the organisation of

the Coast Day event in Montenegro with the

involvement of media and possibly NGOs,

preparation of awareness-raising materials,

etc. The campaign will focus on the

implementation of the ICZM Protocol and will

address the general population, with a special

subset of activities for youth. The project

awareness-raising activities will be in line with

the on-going initiatives in the Mediterranean;

� setting up of the CAMP Montenegro website.


� workshop reports;

� public participation reports, including the

stakeholder analysis;

� media reports, advertisements, information

on the coastal area, promotional materials

and publications (such as a leaflet or a

brochure);

� reports on the promotional activities and

events possibly organised and led by NGOs to

promote ICZM and coastal area values;

� the CAMP Montenegro website (in

Montenegrin and English).

B 1.

Support for the ICZM Strategy/Plan and the

Coastal Area Spatial Plan (CASP) of Montenegro

B 1.1.

Analysis of implications of the ICZM Protocol for

spatial planning

The purpose of this activity was to support the

MSDT in the process that has led to the ICZM

Protocol ratification. Its outputs will further

contribute to the development of the Integrated

Coastal Zone Management Plan and the National

Strategy for the Integrated Coastal Zone

Management, as it is presented in component

B.2. of this Report, and provide recommendation

for the CASP development.

As for the actions that would be implemented in

the scope of this activity, it is important to note

that these were actually completed in the pre-

CAMP period, as a result of the requests of the

MSDT (and its predecessor – the Ministry of

Spatial Planning and Environment). The actions

that were implemented in the period prior to the

preparation of the Inception Report were:

� preparing supporting (background)

documents for the ratification of the ICZM

Protocol;

� assessing implications of the ICZM Protocol

requirements for the existing spatial planning

documents (in particular with regard to the

definition of the set-back zone as required by

Article 8 of the ICZM Protocol).


� an analysis of implementation of the ICZM

Protocol for spatial planning systems,

including the recommendations for the

spatial planning system with regard to the

implementation of the ICZM Protocol

requirements;

� the guidelines for the CASP Terms of Reference;

� the proposal for the institutional-legislative

framework setup for integrated coastal zone

management of Montenegro in the scope of

the ICZM development.

17

The first two outputs were delivered in the

course of the pre-CAMP activities. The proposal

for the institutional-legislative framework for the

ICZM is yet to be elaborated (related objectives

and outputs described under point B.2.1).

B 1.2.

Preparation of sectoral baseline studies of selected

coastal subsystems

The goal of this activity is to support

development of the CASP by providing the

selected baseline studies, as a contribution to

the integrated assessment of the key coastal

issues and trends as well as potentials and

constraints.

The key objective is to enable the assessment of

selected coastal subsystems (including

hydrological, geomorphological, hydrogeological,

climatic and ecological) and socio-economic

elements in a manner that best suits the needs

of the spatial planning and SEA process. These

assessments will be used for the preparation of

the vulnerability / suitability assessment, as a

part of the ICZM Plan and the National Strategy

on ICZM. In addition, these assessments will

contribute to the harmonisation of the CASP

with the ICZM Plan based on integrations of the

ICZM principles into the CASP.

All the studies (assessments) need to be

prepared in such a manner to give an overview

of the current state, to identify the key problems

with current trends and a preliminary

assessment of causes of these problems, to

propose possible measures tackling these

problems as well as indicators for monitoring the

progress in implementation of these measures (a

DPSIR analytical framework may be used). All the

assessments need to have appropriate

cartographical presentations, integrated into a

single GIS data base.

It is important to note that the above-presented

list of baseline studies represents only a part of

the baseline studies necessary for the

preparation of the CASP. Any additional study, if

necessary, would be undertaken by the CASP

planning team, as part of the CASP preparation.


� identifying the existing sources of

information (including available maps, aerial

photographs), data gaps and the ways to

overcome them;

� analysing the status of biodiversity and

nature in the coastal zone including the

assessment of the sensitive marine and

coastal habitats as to provide the

recommendation for revising the protected

areas status and improvement of the system

for nature protection in the coastal

zone(linked to contributions by the

MedMPAnet project implemented by

SPA/RAC;

� analysing the status of hydrology,

hydrogeology and water quality in the coastal

zone, including the watersheds and its

impacts on the coastline;

� identifying the natural risks and its impacts

on the coastal zone;

� analysing the main socio-economic trends as

to identify development potentials and

pressures to the coastal zone;

� contributing to the preparation of

vulnerability assessment;

� contribute to GIS database.

Outputs of this activity include:

� Biodiversity and nature protection study;

� Hydrology, hydrogeology and water quality

study;

� Risk study;

� Targeted socio-economic analyses;

� Criteria for the development of a vulnerability

model;

� Cartographic presentations of the analysis

outcome and contribution to GIS database as

the analysis outcome.

Technical specifications for the above mentioned

studies are presented in Annexes II and III.

B.1.3

Coastal vulnerability, attractiveness and suitability

assessment

Based on the baseline studies inputs, the coastal

vulnerability and suitability assessments will be

undertaken.

The most important step of these analyses is

describing the nature of interactions between

human action and natural processes in a form

which is applicable for further processing and

useful in the spatial planning process. This step is

called "suitability modelling" and can be to a

different extent formalised and quantified.

Suitability modelling involves: identification (and

mapping) of spatial characteristics (factors)

which are relevant for concerned land uses,

description of their interrelation (value) for

individual land uses, mapping the values and

overlay of value maps (definition of aggregation

function).

Criteria for evaluating suitability can be roughly

divided according to two basic value systems –

developmental and conservative. Developmental

interest is described by opportunity

(attractiveness) criteria. These reveal favourable

conditions for land use, which can be expected

to improve its output (such as vicinity of

infrastructure in case of industry, fertile soils for

agriculture, etc.). Limitation (vulnerability)

criteria represent, on the other hand, the need

for the protection and reveal the conditions,

which may trigger increased environmental

impacts in case of land use (i.e. vicinity of

housing for industry or ground water reservoirs

for agriculture).

The main objectives of the activity are to:

� provide support for the CASP and for the

ICZM Plan preparation in optimizing the use

of territorial resources by distribution of land

uses;

� provide capacity building on vulnerability and

suitability modelling to Montenegrin CAMP

and CASP teams.


� a detailed determination of a methodology;

� determination of the scale of the project and

considering variables of the study;

� data gathering;

� vulnerability modelling;

� attractiveness modelling;

� suitability modelling;

� interpretation of results;

� during the

vulnerability/attractiveness/suitability

modelling, providing trainings and capacity

building programmes, primarily for the

members of the CAMP.

Outputs of the activity include:

� methodology;

� data base;

� vulnerability models;

� attractiveness models;

� suitability models;

� interpretative report;

� training materials.

Technical description of the activity is presented

in Annex IV.

B.1.4

Inputs for the coastal carrying capacity, especially

regarding the capacities in the sector of tourism

development

The key objective of this activity is to offer

possible tools for the planning of costal activities

(particularly tourism) by means of respecting

assimilating capacities of coastal ecosystems,

socio-economic characteristics of coastal

settlements, and the existing (and possible)

infrastructural development. This activity will be

based on the outcome of targeted socio-

economic analyses and the outcome of

vulnerability analysis. The outcome of this

activity will, inter alia, be used in the preparation

of a beach management study.

19

Actions to be implemented are:

� offering, in co-operation with the CASP

Developer and working group for this activity,

a methodological framework for carrying out

the activities, primarily through the definition

of elements of the carrying capacity

assessment that are particularly relevant for

the coastal area in Montenegro and

transformation processes to which it has

been exposed;

� analysing the selected elements of the

carrying capacity, estimating acceptable

limits (thresholds) of such elements and, if

possible, defining them by means of

appropriate criteria and indicators;

� offering guidelines that would assist the CASP

Developer in formulating the sustainable

development scenario (model) for the coastal

area, particularly in allocating and identifying

capacities of the area for the activity

development, especially tourism.

Expected outputs of this activity are:

� draft methodological guidelines for carrying

out an assessment of the coastal carrying

capacity;

� analysis of selected elements of carrying

capacity, which are particularly important for

the development of tourism.

B 1.5

Recommendations to strengthen the beach

management system in Montenegro

The key objective of this activity is to contribute

to the improvement of the coastal zone

management system through the strengthening

of the management regime of beaches and

bathing places. The analyses to be carried out

under this activity are also of importance for the

assessment of the coastal carrying capacity,

especially regarding the capacities in the sector

of tourism development.

Actions to be implemented under this activity

are to:

� analyse the status of beaches and built

bathing places, including: geomorphological

features, maritime characteristics, biological

characteristics, sunniness, classification of the

natural characteristics;

� analyse the existing regime of use which

includes: categorisation by purpose,

categorisation by degree of organisation, use

of beach/bathing places for other purposes;

� analyse and evaluate the carrying capacity of

beaches and built bathing places;

� conduct a comparative analysis of

international practice of beach organisation

(erosion control, feeding, building

interventions);

� conduct an analysis of international

management practices and organisation of

bathing places.

The expected outcome of this activity is to

define recommendations and assessments which

are related to:

� protection of beaches and coastal zone,

� categorisation and equipping of bathing

places,

� determination of capacities by categories,

� establishment of categories in relation to the

needs of the hinterland.

B.1.6.

Contribution to coastal GIS database with indicators

as a core future coastal monitoring observatory

The forming of spatial and attribute data during

the preparation of the Coastal Area Spatial Plan

(CASP) and ICZM Plan is an important step

towards a more efficient development planning

system, as well as the coastal area monitoring,

assessment and management in Montenegro. In

addition, the said bases, as well as the databases

of natural resources, environment, etc. are

extremely useful in analysing the coastal carrying

capacity for different functions (especially

tourism) and in preparing the strategic

environmental assessment, while at the same

time being explicit requirements of the ICZM

Protocol for the Mediterranean.

20

The key objective of this activity is to contribute

to the creation of an integrated coastal database

that will be used for the purposes of the CAMP

activity, in the preparation of the CASP, but also

for all future projects in the coastal area,

particularly in the context of the coastal area

management activity and in the preparation of

spatial plans.

The actions to be implemented are:

� preparation of a list of metadata on

fundamental existing layers of spatial data;

� forming a database of spatial data and

indicators on baseline land planning and uses

for the coastal area;

� forming of database of main demographic

indicators and the demographic vitality index;

� transfer of other available layers in the GIS

database.

Key to the successful implementation of the

activity is the co-operation with relevant

national institutions (those related to data

delivery, primarily cartographic data), but also

with the CASP drafter. It is important to ensure

harmonisation with the process of the CASP

preparation by making a clear distribution of

tasks between the two processes (in order to

avoid overlapping and duplication of actions and

ensure natural upgrading of the two processes),

as well as to use a single database and the same

inputs (e.g. the same (the most recent) version

of spatial plans of municipalities, state location

studies, etc.) In that respect, a preliminary

elaboration has been made of the first necessary

steps that should be undertaken in order to

contribute to the forming of spatial and

demographic data.

Outcomes of the activity are:

� Spatial database (land uses, natural

resources, environment, demography);

� Database of GIS modelling used in the

vulnerability and suitability assessment.

B 2.

Integrated Coastal Zone Management

framework setup

The preparation of the ICZM Plan is the main

activity of the CAMP Montenegro and a vehicle

for putting into practice integrated approaches

and new institutional/co-ordination

mechanisms. It is directly related to Article 18 of

the ICZM Protocol (obligation to formulate the

national ICZM strategies, plans and

programmes). In parallel with the Integrated

Coastal Zone Management Plan the National

Strategy for the ICZM will be developed.

The National ICZM Strategy and Plan will define

a set of long-term objectives, within a 20-year

time frame. The ICZM Plan will be a supporting

roadmap to achieve the Strategy by defining the

short-term actions to deliver the Strategy over a

predetermined time period, i.e. 3-6 years.

The ICZM Plan will refer to the entire CAMP

Project area, whereas special efforts will be

made to co-ordinate activities with, and

integrate results of the Transboundary

Integrated Management Plan for Bojana/Buna

river.

The approval and ratification process of the

ICZM Protocol in the past two years has raised

considerably the profile of ICZM in the

Mediterranean. As it is referred above, one of its

key provisions is the requirement for the

preparation of the National ICZM Strategies

along with the coastal implementation plans and

programmes in conformity with the objectives

and principles of the Protocol. Therefore, the

preparation of the National Strategies and the

related Action Plan is a key output that has to be

achieved in accordance with the Action Plan for

the Implementation of the ICZM Protocol for the

Mediterranean, 2012 – 2019.

In accordance with Article 18.2 of the ICZM

Protocol, based on the analysis of the existing

situation, the national strategy shall “… set

objectives, determine priorities with an

21

indication of the reasons, identify coastal

ecosystems needing management, as well as all

relevant actors and processes, enumerate the

measures to be taken and their cost as well as

the institutional instruments and legal and

financial means available, and set an

implementation schedule.”

The (possible) contents of the National ICZM

Strategy with the ICZM Plan could consist of:

� Definition of the Vision;

� Identification of the Analysis and Objectives:

A brief analysis of the current state of the

coastal zone, root causes of major problems,

risks and potential future scenarios. The

national objectives for sustainable

development of the coastal zone reflecting

environmental, economic and social

priorities. Identification of the key indicators

to measure the success addressing these

priorities;

� Determination of the priorities for the

Coastal Zone: Set out the national priorities

and links to other relevant strategies

including spatial planning, environmental,

natural risks in particular climate change,

economic development, transport, etc.;

� Identify specific Ecosystems and Themes:

Define the specific coastal ecosystems

requiring management, in particular estuaries

and wetlands, by taking into account their

environmental, economic and social function;

� Identification of the Governance Structures

and Participation;

� Identify means of Implementation;

� Action Plan: a supporting roadmap to achieve

the Strategy – an ICZM Plan to deliver the

Strategy over a predetermined time period,

i.e. 3-6 years. The ICZM Plans are multi-sector

development plans which do not replace but

augment the overall national development

plans and sector specific development plans.

They are the central key elements in the

establishing of a sustainable ICZM;

� Monitoring and Evaluation process.

In accordance with the analyses and objectives

that will be defined in the NS ICZM, the priority

themes and area of action will be further

elaborated in the ICZM Plan. This will be

achieved by defining the measures, timeframe,

responsibilities for implementation, indicators,

means for implementation for any themes and

area of action that is assessed as the priority for

the ICZM Plan. The analyses and

recommendation to come out from the baseline

studies will serve as a platform in making the

prioritisation of the themes and priority areas, as

well as for defining a set of measures that are

necessary to be realised in order to enable

implementation of the priority actions.

Following the identification of the means for the

NS ICZM Implementation, the ICZM Plan will

define the measures that are necessary to be

realised in order to put into force the

institutional and legal set up for the ICZM

system. The core elements of the ICZM Plan will

be based on the following outcomes of the

CAMP Montenegro:

� Propose the ICZM institutional-legislative

framework setup in the coastal zone of

Montenegro in line with the principles of the

ICZM Protocol (further explained in point

B.2.1);

� Provide recommendations for the selected

ICZM measures, including the coastal setback

elaboration with the rules for its

implementation and measures for the

practical green entrepreneurship

implementation (further explained in point B

2.2);

� Provide comments with possible technical

assistance in order to facilitate the

implementation of the ICZM Protocol

principles in the final CASP formulation and

SEA phases (further explained in point B.2.3).

The ICZM Plan will provide clear targets over

time, policy development strategies, monitoring

schemes and evaluation mechanisms making use

of the national framework of ICZM stakeholders.

22

The ICZM Plan will also provide the

recommendations aimed at harmonisation of

the CASP, as the key spatial planning document,

as well as the relevant sectoral strategies, with

the ICZM Protocol principles.

In developing the ICZM Plan, special attention

will be attached to creating the participatory

process so as to enable iterative participation of

relevant coastal stakeholders.

Objectives of the activity related to the

Integrated Coastal Zone Management

framework setup are as follows:

� articulate an agreed clear national vision for

the sustainable development of the coastal

zone;

� establish through the governance the

integration and harmonisation of multiple

interests in the coastal zone;

� identify both the priorities and the means to

achieve the sustainable development of the

coastal zone.


� define the Contents of the NS ICZM;

� organise a consultative and participatory

process of relevant coastal stakeholders;

� define the contents and structure of the ICZM

Plan following the objectives and priority

areas defined in the NS ICZM, including the

identification of the Specific Ecosystems and

Themes;

� define the measures for the ICZM

Plan/Strategy implementation that also could

be used for the CASP implementation;

� follow the process of the CASP preparation

and provide support in order to facilitate the

implementation of ICZM principles in the final

formulation of CASP and the related SEA;

� propose the institutional and legislative set

up to facilitate the implementation of the

ICZM Protocol principles, including their

integration in the final CASP formulation;

� integrate the recommendations of SEA for

the ICZM Plan into the ICZM Plan;

� formal adoption and approval of the ICZM

Plan.

Outputs of this activity are:

� National Strategy for the Coastal Zone

Management;

� Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan.

This core activity can be broken down in three

main sub-activities, further elaborated in the

following paragraphs.

B 2.1.

ICZM institutional-legislative framework setup

The goal of this CAMP Montenegro activity is to

contribute toward the establishment of the

appropriate institutional and legal structure for

integrated management of the coast. The

activity is in line with Articles 7 and 14 of the

ICZM Protocol.


� adapt the existing legal and institutional

framework of Montenegro to the

requirements of the ICZM Protocol;

� strengthen the participation of all relevant

stakeholders in the coastal zone

management;

� contribute toward the overall improvement

of the coastal co-ordination mechanisms.

Actions to be implemented include the

preparation and/or provision of:

� an analysis of the current legal framework as

well as institutional roles and responsibilities

and identification of obstacles to effective

management of the coastal zone;

� a model for institutional structure for the

coastal zone management (possibly through

further elaboration and improvement of co-

ordination mechanisms, possibly through the

establishment of new and/or restructuring of

existing institutions) with a view to the ICZM

Protocol requirements and based on

examples of good practice in integrated

management of natural resources;

23

� a proposal on institutional development

needs for integrated management;

� needs and support in making the proposed

institutional structure operational, including

the identification of necessary changes in

respective laws and regulations;

The above actions will benefit of the ongoing

activities in the country undertaken in the

framework of the MedMPAnet project and

supported by SPA/RAC, in collaboration with

IUCN, regarding support to the institutional and

legislative setup related to the creation of MPAs

in Adriatic countries.

The main outputs of this activity include a

proposal of an agreed model of institutional

structure for integrated coastal zone

management with defined responsibilities and

financial resources, and identified further

institutional development needs. This activity

will take into consideration the ICZM

institutional analysis that is undertaken in the

framework of the SHAPE project.

B 2.2.

Recommendations for selected ICZM measures,

including the coastal setback elaboration with rules

of its implementation/adaptation

Instruments for the implementation of spatial

plans represent one of the key assumptions for

the functioning of the spatial planning system.

The analyses often show that even good spatial

planning solutions have not been carried out due

to the lack of adequate implementation

mechanisms. The analysis of spatial planning

practices in the coastal area leads to the best

understanding of the importance of these

instruments and helps initiate appropriate

legislative and other changes. These instruments

may include a wide range of instruments, from

analytical, integration and participatory

instruments, land and tax policy, communal

policy (particularly construction and land

development) to monitoring and evaluation

instruments.

Although some of these instruments will be

elaborated in the CASP, the ICZM will also give

elaboration of some of the above mentioned

instruments, as a form of implementation

measures complementing the CASP, in view of

the ICZM principles.

Institutional-legislative instruments are detailed

in the activity B2.1, while this activity puts more

stress on the instruments connected to the

application of Article 8 of the ICZM Protocol,

selected socio-economic measures and spatial

planning assumptions related to the

implementation of the green entrepreneurship

concept, as well as monitoring and evaluation

instruments.

All the mentioned instruments and

recommendations will be an integral part of the

ICZM Strategy/Plan.

The main goal of the activity is to contribute to

the elaboration of the ICZM implementation

framework, as a significant element in the

development of the ICZM Strategy/Plan but

which can also be taken into consideration in

developing the CASP.

Specific objectives of this activity are to:

� determine the approach for the

implementation of Article 8 of the ICZM

Protocol;

� determine the approach for the

implementation of the green

entrepreneurship concept;

� ensure the prerequisites for the monitoring

of the outcomes defined in the ICZM

Strategy/Plan.

The key actions include:

� assessment of the narrower coastal strip

relevant for the implementation of Article 8

of the ICZM Protocol;

� definition of criteria for the coastal setback

and their presentation on selected locations;

� proposal of general criteria and measures for

the rehabilitation of devastated zones;

24

� elaboration of key actions, including spatial

planning prerequisites, for the promotion of a

sustainable rural development in the coastal

area, primarily in the tourism and agriculture

sectors;

� proposal of instruments for the monitoring

and evaluation of the intended outcomes.

Expected outcomes are:

� elaborated measures related to the

implementation of Article 8 of the ICZM

Protocol, primarily in connection with the

coastal setback and general criteria for the

rehabilitation of devastates zones (as part of

the ICZM Plan);

� appropriate graphical representation of

selected locations of the coastal setback;

� elaborated analyses and measures for the

promotion of sustainable local initiatives

(green entrepreneurship) in the coastal area

(to be integrated in the ICZM Plan);

� proposal of indicators for the monitoring of

state and trends in space and/or sector,

indications for the definition and monitoring

of success of pubic (coastal) policies, plans

and programmes.

B 2.3.

Facilitating implementation of the ICZM Protocol

principles in the CASP and SEA

Harmonisation of the two plans – CASP and ICZM

– will be provided under this CAMP activity in

order to ensure that the ICZM Protocol concepts

and tools such as the coastal vulnerability,

attractiveness and suitability modelling, the set-

back zone, the ecosystem approach and the use

of the carrying capacity assessment concept in

the planning are applied in the CASP

development.

The goal of this activity is to provide technical

support in the process of the CASP and SEA

preparations in a way to ensure the

mainstreaming of the ICZM principles in the

spatial planning system of Montenegro. The

ICZM/CASP baseline studies will provide a

platform for integration of the ICZM concepts

and tools into the CASP, securing harmonisation

of the two plans. It will enable that the CASP

development is based on the spatial planning

methodology that co-ordinates developmental

interests and the demand for environmental

protection.

The specific objectives of this activity are to:

� indicate, through the provision of comments

and possible other forms of technical

assistance, how the ICZM concepts,

techniques and tools can be used to improve

spatial planning as to evolve it into

"environmental planning" or "ecological

planning" as a way of directing or managing

changes in the landscape so that human

actions are in tune with nature and

environment;

� comply with legal requirements, by applying

the SEA process to the ICZM Plan

development, ensuring that environmental

impacts of the ICZM Plan are assessed and

mitigated;

� build capacities for utilising the SEA in line

with the ICZM principles.


� follow the process of the CASP preparation

and provide necessary comments and

technical assistance related to integration of

the ICZM principles;

� analyse results of the baseline studies in

order to ensure their practical application in

the process of defining and justifying the

planning measures and solution of the CASP;

� provide a methodological input and

determine the contents of SEA for the ICZM

Plan;

� provide hands-on experience in SEA

development;

� undertake SEA, in synergy with the SEA

process for the CASP.

� specific inputs/comments on the CASP,

related to the ICZM principles;

� SEA on the ICZM Plan, complementary to the

CASP SEA;

� methodological inputs and training materials

on SEA.

Realisation of the pilot project on testing the

Ecosystem Approach (ECAP) application in Boka

Kotorska Bay

The specific location of the Boka Kotorska Bay in

the Adriatic Sea makes it a very interesting and

distinctive area. This specificity is conditioned

primarily by a characteristic geographical

location of the bay (a shallow and medium depth

ecosystem and semi-closed water body; sea-bed

configuration; the biological production from

phytoplankton due to the fact that the rivers

entering the Boka Kotorska Bay are not severely

impacted by man; etc.), as well as by its complex

geomorphology, giving the area a special mark

from the abiotic point of view. Besides the

complexity and variety of abiotic factors, a

specific living world gives the additional complex

biotic component, making it the area with a

larger number of specific habitat conditions or

biotopes. The sea enters deeply into land (a

unique fiord with the Mediterranean climate)

with the total coast length of 105.5 km and with

the total area of around 36 km2.

As a shallow and medium depth ecosystem and

semi-closed water body, the Boka Kotorska Bay

is affected by a large scale of anthropogenic

impacts. Natural conditions determine a low

degree of the seawater exchange between inside

the waters of the Boka Kotorska Bay aquatorium

and the open sea area. At the same time, there

are a significant inflows of fresh water to the Bay

sea water, which cause significant decrease of

salinity.

ECAP has been promoted as a tool aiming at

improving the way human activities are

managed for the protection of the marine

environment. However, to ensure the

sustainability of the exploitation of marine goods

and services, it is necessary to evaluate the

existing marine ecosystems, especially in the

context of their role in producing resources.

By having the significant impact of

anthropogenic factors on the status of marine

ecosystem, the green economy tools, especially

the Green Entrepreneurship and green jobs, can

be a relevant concept that may contribute in

improving the state of the Boka Kotorska Bay

ecosystem.

The key objective is to provide an appropriate

framework for assessing environmental status of

the fragile marine ecosystems and socio-

economic needs of the related coastal area in a

way to enable balancing of human activities in

the manner most suitable for the environment.


� assessment of the nutrient inputs from

diffused sources based on a model recently

under development by MED POL;

� evaluation of the status of the marine

ecosystems, especially in the context of their

role in producing resources with support of

SPA/RAC;

� with support of CP/RAC, and contribution of

SPA/RAC regarding the protected areas

management, identification of the

possibilities on providing the Green

Entrepreneurship support to successful

initiatives at the local level with the aim to

contribute to the sustainable development of

the local communities in the Montenegrin

coastal zone;

� definition of the set of measures to be

integrated into the ICZM Plan based on the

ECAP application in Boka Kotorska Bay .

Expected outputs are:

� assessment of the nutrient inputs from

diffused sources based on a model recently

under development by MED POL;

26

� assessment of key marine ecosystems needs

with the aim to reduce negative impacts of

human activities by providing the

environmental sound management of the

coastal area;

� evaluation of the benefits of key marine

ecosystems, in terms of ecological service

they provide and its attractiveness for

economic activities;

� definition of the measures that emanate the

sustainable local initiatives in the coastal area

through suitable Green Entrepreneurship

modalities;

� definition of the ICZM measures through

enabling the integration of the best suitable

Green Entrepreneurship modalities that are

selected in accordance with the needs of

achieving a good ecological status of the Boka

Kotorska Bay as one of the key goals of the

ECAP implementation.

More information of the activity is presented in

Annex V.

5. Institutional arrangements and staffing

5.1

Institutional arrangements

Institutional arrangements of the project are

established at two levels:

� at the project level; and

� at the level of each individual project activity.

The institutional arrangements at the project

level, as defined by the Project Agreement, are

described in the following paragraphs.

The MAP component

The Co-ordinating Unit of MAP (MEDU) will

exercise guidance and supervision over the

implementation of the Project. PAP/RAC, as the

MAP Project Implementing Centre, will be

responsible for co-ordination, guidance and

implementation of the Project, in co-operation

with Montenegrin national and local authorities.

Furthermore, PAP/RAC will co-ordinate activities

with other MAP components involved in the

Project with the assistance of the National

Project Co-ordinator. Finally, it will be

responsible for the co-ordination of preparation

of the final Project documents.

Other MAP components involved in the Project –

SPA/RAC, INFO/RAC, CP/RAC and MEDPOL, will

be responsible for the implementation of

respective individual activities, under the

logistical co-ordination of PAP/RAC, and in co-

operation with the National Project Co-ordinator

and relevant national authorities/institutions

responsible for the respective activities.

MAP professionals and consultants will act in

accordance with their respective ToRs. The area

of consultancy needed and the selection of the

consultant are defined through Technical

Specifications (Terms of References) for CAMP

activities which are provided in the Annexes to

this Report.

The host country component

The MSDT, in its roles of the National Focal Point

for MAP and the National Lead Agency for the

CAMP Montenegro, will exercise the overall

supervision of Project activities in the country

and of those implemented by national

participants, in co-operation with the MAP. The

MAP National Focal Point who is appointed the

National Project (CAMP) Co-ordinator will act as

a Project Director.

The CAMP Montenegro Steering Committee (SC)

will provide the overall guidance for the Project.

This body will be composed of representatives of

MSDT, MAP – PAP/RAC, representatives of other

relevant ministries (including transport and

maritime affairs, economy, foreign affairs and

European integrations, agriculture and rural

development, health and culture) and Public

Enterprise for the Coastal Zone Management; it

will also comprise persons representing coastal

municipalities and an UNDP representative

(given the fact that UNDP will provide

administrative support to CAMP

implementation).

Advisory Board will provide expert support to

the Steering Committee and will involve

representatives of management agencies and

professional/scientific institutions including the

Public Enterprise for the Coastal Zone

Management, Environmental Protection Agency,

Nature Protection Institute, Hydro-

meteorological Institute, and Marine Biology

Institute. Representatives of coastal

municipalities and the civil sector, as well as the

National Project Co-ordinator, will be a part of

the Advisory Board, too.

28

In addition, important roles for the CAMP

Montenegro implementation will be played by

the National Project Co-ordinator and national

team leaders.

In line with the Co-operation Agreement

between MSDT and UNDP Montenegro signed

on 1 November 2011 and UNDP’s Project

Document annexed to this Agreement, the

UNDP Montenegro will provide administrative

support to execution of CAMP activities. This

arrangement was made due to the fact that

MSDT’s capacities were limited and that UNDP

was able and willing to provide for project

administration and financial management of the

national CAMP budget contribution in line with

the United Nations rules. UNDP will also provide

in-kind contribution to the CAMP budget

(through the costs of staff involved in

administering the CAMP activities and through

the implementation of own activities

complementary to those of the CAMP

Montenegro), and will act in co-ordination with

and under supervision of the National Project

Co-ordinator.

The institutional arrangements at the level of

individual project activities are as follows:

The MAP component:

� MAP Project Co-ordinator;

� MAP experts involved in the implementation

of the activity, if and as required.

The host country component:

� National Project Co-ordinator;

� National Team Leaders responsible for

various activities; and

� National Teams tasked with the implementation of various activities, composed of experts and professionals.

6. Expected results and outputs

The CAMP Montenegro will contribute to

sustainable development in the coastal area,

primarily by supporting the development of the

Coastal Area Spatial Plan (CASP) and facilitating

the inclusion of integrated management

concepts, methodologies and tools in the

national spatial planning system and by

developing an ICZM Plan for the Montenegrin

coast. The CAMP Montenegro will contribute to

sustainable development of certain economic

activities, such as tourism, by carrying out

development of the methodology for the

tourism carrying capacity assessment and by

ensuring that the ICZM principles and

requirements are integrated in the spatial plans,

as well as to the greening of local economies

through implementation of certain green

entrepreneurship initiatives. At the same time,

the Project will strengthen the information basis

(including the availability of geo-referenced

data) for management and planning, particularly

in the areas of hydrology, vulnerability, beach

management and coastal and marine

biodiversity. The co-ordination and integration

component of the CAMP Montenegro will

ensure utilization of results from related (past

and on-going) projects and synergetic effects in

order to ensure the efficient and effective use of

resources.

The CAMP activities will also result with the

strengthened capacity of national and local

institutions for integrated planning and

management in the coastal zone, and will

contribute to the overall awareness of the issues

such as sensitivity of the coastal zones,

ecosystem approach, requirements of the ICZM

Protocol and EU marine strategy and directives,

biodiversity and other natural values in the

coastal zone, etc.

The main expected outputs of the CAMP Project

for Montenegro are:

� ICZM plan with NS ICZM for the project area;

� Building blocks for future institutional

arrangements for ICZM (proposal of the

appropriate institutional structure and

enhanced participation) and support to

possible changes in the legislative framework;

� Analysis of implications of the ICZM Protocol

for the spatial planning system, including

recommendations for the necessary revision

of the existing spatial planning policies and

documents to incorporate the ICZM methods,

concepts and tools and assistance with their

application in the process of CASP

development;

� Delivered trainings and increased capacity of

all the stakeholders, especially the local level

ones;

� Raised awareness of coastal processes and

integrated management;

� Coastal studies (with GIS maps) including:

� Suitability Assessment Analysis;

� Study of biodiversity and nature

protection;

� Study of hydrology, hydrogeology and

water quality;

� Natural risks analysis;

7. Methodologies and tools to be applied

7.1

General methodologies

The Project will be based on the principles and

guidelines integrated in the key global and

regional documents on sustainable development

(including the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21,

Agenda 21 for the Mediterranean and the Tunis

Declaration, documents from the Johannesburg

World Summit 2002, etc.). Furthermore, the

general methodologies applied throughout the

project implementation will be firmly rooted in

the international agreements and EU policies

and legal acts, such as the Barcelona Convention

(and the ICZM Protocol in particular) and the

Convention on Biological Diversity, and the EU

Water Framework Directive and the Marine

Directive and Strategy.

Special attention will be given to the

implementation of the following principles:

� integration of environmental protection in

development policies and their

implementation;

� public participation and awareness raising;

� access to information;

� application of integrated methodologies and

tools for spatial planning and coastal

management (ICZM, ICARM);

� sustainable tourism development;

� biodiversity protection and ecosystem

approach to managing natural resources;

� capacity building for sustainable

development and environmental protection.

The general methodological framework that will

be applied in implementing the CAMP

Montenegro is the one described in the

publication entitled Integrated Coastal and

Marine Areas Management (UNEP, 1995;

UNEP/MAP, 1999) and the Guidelines for the

preparation of National ICZM Strategies required

by the Integrated Coastal Zone Management

(ICZM) Protocol for the Mediterranean

(UNEP/MAP-PAP/RAC 2011). Special attention

will be paid to application of integrated

approaches and sustainability requirements in

the spatial planning processes. Tools and

techniques, such as the Carrying Capacity

Assessment (CCA) and the Strategic Environmental

Assessment (SEA), will be used. In doing so, the

information basis will be strengthened,

capacities developed and sustainable

development of the coastal zone promoted.

implemented

The capacity of national and local institutions to

implement SD and ICZM policies and undertake

integrated planning and management is weak.

There is a general lack of knowledge on general

concepts of ICZM and, in particular, on some

specific ICZM instruments. In addition, the level

of awareness of the importance of ICZM can be

described as unsatisfactory. Information on the

value of natural resources in the coastal area

and necessity to manage them in a sustainable

way is not communicated to the public in an

organised way. Research results and available

information on the threats from unsustainable

development patterns are not present in the

public to the extent that could lead to changing

perceptions and behaviours.

In order to address the existing weaknesses and

lack of information/knowledge, a series of

trainings will be organised through the CAMP

Montenegro to strengthen human resource

capacities in local and national administrations,

planning, natural resources management,

tourism development and monitoring

institutions, as well as in private sector (industry,

SMEs). Also, the Project will help national

institutions in their efforts to disseminate

information on coastal area values and

vulnerabilities and to promote sustainable

development approaches among the general

public, capitalising on the efforts of all

stakeholders who are already working on

awareness raising and coastal area

management.

Objectives of the activity

The main objectives of the activity are to:

� increase capacities of different institutions to

understand, apply and use different ICZM

instruments for sustainable development

through transfer of knowledge and training;


sustainable management of the coastal area;

� emphasise values and fragility of coastal


� promote the ICZM Protocol and decrease

resistance to some ICZM instruments that

could be perceived as an obstacle to the

development.

Detailed description of the activity

The activity will be composed of 3 main axes:

1. Capacity building and trainings;

2. Public participation;

3. Awareness raising activities.

1.

Capacity building and trainings

During the entire project duration, in parallel

with the individual activities, a series of trainings

will be organised. They will include three main

modules:

� Module 1: Integrated Coastal Zone

Management concepts and tools (comprising

two major trainings on i) general ICZM

principles and the ICZM Protocol, and ii) on

Carrying Capacity Assessment – CCA (or other

relevant tools);

48

� Module 2: Green Entrepreneurship

modalities and opportunities;

� Module 3: Information on ecosystem

approach (ECAP), monitoring and indicators

and ECAP integration into ICZM (the MEDPOL

methodology, the ICZM Protocol and the EEA

requirements on coastal zone indicators);

Module 1: ICZM

PAP/RAC will be responsible for the organisation

of trainings on ICZM. It is envisaged that 2 main

trainings will be organised: i) one on general

ICZM principles and the ICZM Protocol; ii) the

other on Carrying Capacity Assessment (CCA).

The Training on ICZM principles will include

lectures on main concepts of ICZM, introduction

to the ICZM Protocol, an overview of main ICZM

tools and instruments, and examples of good

practices. In addition, more explanations on

specific Protocol requirements could be

provided. The training will be organised in the

initial phases of project implementation (May-

June 2012).

The second training will preferably be focused

on Carrying Capacity Assessment (CCA)

concepts. It will give a technical description of

main aspects of the carrying capacity (physical,

ecological, social, infrastructural and

institutional/management aspect) and provide

an overview of its application around the

Mediterranean. The training will explain the CCA

concepts developed for the purpose of the

CAMP Montenegro and its link with the Coastal

Area Spatial Plan (CASP). The training will be

organised upon defining concepts and drafting

first inputs of the CCA for the purpose of the

ICZM Plan (September-October 2012).

Trainings will primarily target the local-level,

government and other local institutions as well

as representatives of the civil society. Trainings

will be organised in one of coastal municipalities.

Additionally, the same trainings could be

organised in Podgorica as well, for

representatives of the national government and

other national institutions based in Podgorica.

Training materials will be provided by PAP/RAC.

Depending on the funds available in the later

stages of the project and as part of individual

activities, the additional theme-specific trainings

(e.g. GIS, SEA, suitability assessment, NATURA

2000, etc.) could be organised for

representatives of national/local administrations

as well as national members of the team.

Module 2: Green Entrepreneurship

In the scope of the Antenna’s project realisation

aimed at GRECO initiative dissemination, the

Report on Green Entrepreneurship has been

prepared and presented at the national

Workshop. CP/RAC has supported national

authorities in assessing, evaluating and

proposing priorities for further actions.

Apart of the promotion and selection of certain

Cleaner production techniques, the GRECO

initiative implementation in Montenegro is

based on the promotion and awareness raising

of introduction of green entrepreneurship

initiatives.

A report on Green Entrepreneurship in

Montenegro provides relevant information on

the opportunities and challenges for green

entrepreneurship, as well as the selection of the

sectors that are found to be appropriate for

implementation of the case studies of green

entrepreneurs providing environmental,

economic and social values integration.

At the same time, an intention is to identify the

possibilities how Green Entrepreneurship can

support successful initiatives at the local level

with the aim to contribute to the sustainable

development of the local communities in

Montenegrin coastal zone.

In this regard, the CAMP Montenegro will

support such an approach through the

organisation of the training and awareness

raising activities on the possibilities to

49

implement Green Entrepreneurship at the local

level, as a tool to support integrated coastal

zone management of Montenegrin coastal area.

Some of the issues that will be addressed are as

follows:

� What are the public policies and initiatives to

foster transition to green economy in

Montenegro? How international programmes

(UNEP’s Green Economy) or National

programmes can be transferred at the local

level of action? Are there any current

initiatives, projects and programmes to

promote green entrepreneurship?

� Is there an “official” definition of Green

Entrepreneurship in Montenegro? Is there a

relevant decision of the Government on

Green Economy and Green Entrepreneurship

implementation in Montenegro, including the

orientations of tourism businesses towards

ecotourism?

� What is the social perception on the concept

of Green Entrepreneurship and Green

Economy: Civil Society (NGOs, etc.), Business

institutions, Academia?

At the same time, the aim is to present

experiences with the implementation of the

Green Entrepreneurship Initiatives over the

Mediterranean region and to identify the most

relevant modalities to be tested in some local

communities in Montenegrin coastal area.

In preparing the Workshop and related training

programmes, the assessment of the needs and

opportunities to support Green

Entrepreneurship at the local level in

Montenegrin coastal area will be developed. In

identifying the Green Entrepreneurship needs

and opportunities, the most relevant issues will

be elaborated in the Pilot project on testing the

ECAP application in Boka Kotorska Bay, including

the green tourism possibilities.

The Green Entrepreneurship workshop will be

organised in the second quarter of 2013.

Module 3: ECAP application

The Convention on Biological Diversity has called

the ecosystem approach “a strategy for

integrated management of land, water and

living resources that promotes conservation and

sustainable use in an equitable way.” There is no

single correct way to apply the ecosystem

approach to management of land, water, and

living resources. The principles that underline

the ecosystem approach can be translated

flexibly to address management issues in

different social, economic and environmental

contexts.

IUCN adds to that description the idea that the

ecosystem approach places human needs at the

centre of biodiversity management. It aims to

manage the ecosystem, based on the multiple

functions that ecosystems perform and the

multiple uses that are made of these functions.

The ecosystem approach does not aim for short-

term economic gains, but aims to optimize the

use of an ecosystem without damaging it. In this

sense, the ecosystem approach “stands at the

meeting point of sustainable ecosystem

management and enhanced livelihood security”

and has the potential to bring conservation and

development concerns into a more

complementary relationship.

Similarly, the United Nations Division for Ocean

Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS) has said

that “While there is no single internationally

agreed-upon ecosystem approach or definition of

an 'ecosystem approach' the concept is generally

understood to encompass the management of

human activities, based on the best

understanding of the ecological interactions and

processes, so as to ensure that ecosystems’

structures and functions are sustained for the

benefit of present and future generations.”

DOALOS notes that the concept “builds on a

number of existing tools and approaches, such as

integrated coastal and ocean management, with

greater emphasis on ecosystem goals and

objectives.”

50

Any discussion of planning and implementing the

ecosystem approach leads inevitably to

considerations of cost. At a time when

government agencies are facing enormous

budgetary challenges, decisions about the

allocation of scarce public resources have

become even more challenging.

Following the decisions of the Contracting

Parties to the Barcelona Convention on ECAP,

the challenge to implement the Roadmap for the

implementation of the Ecosystem Approach in

the Mediterranean will be supported by the

CAMP Montenegro by having the training

activities and pilot case assessment on

implementing the ECAP at the selected location

in the Montenegrin coastal zone that is Boka

Kotorska Bay.

The training will be focused on introducing the

ECAP in integrated coastal zone management

policy and building the capacities of the relevant

decision makers at the local/national level,

scientific and public institutions, with

participation of other relevant stakeholders.

The following topics will create the core set of

the training activities:

� Steps to implementing ECAP;

� The economics of the ECAP;

� The links of the ECAP with the ICZM;

� ECAP and adaptive measures for the

biodiversity and ecosystems protection that

are to be defined in adaptation strategies for

the key sectors;

� Opportunities for the ECAP implementation

in Montenegro;

� Plans to implement ECAP in the Adriatic sub-

region and its relation with the

implementation of the MSFD in the Adriatic;

� Case studies on implementing the ECAP in the

Mediterranean region and worldwide.

The training activities will be created in a

compatible manner with the project activity that

will be based on the assessment of the

opportunities to plan and apply the ECAP in Boka

Kotorska Bay as the pilot case study to be tested

in Montenegro.

An ECAP workshop to be organised will result

with the issuing of a report which will serve as a

basis to create a pilot case assessment on

implementing the ECAP in Boka Kotorska Bay.

The ECAP workshop will be organised in a first

quarter of 2013, while the pilot case study to

implement ECAP at the selected location in

Montenegro will be developed in the period

January-September 2013.

2.

Public participation

A programme of participative activities for a

broad spectrum of public (local communities,

NGOs, professional institutions, scientists,

researchers and other experts, interested private

companies and other interested public) should

be carefully designed. These activities would

primarily include the organisation of workshops

for getting inputs for the project activities,

agreeing on common goals, vision, objectives,

indicators and expected results as well as the

verification of individual outputs. These

workshops should enable the public to be

actively involved in designing the project and

have the full ownership of its results.

The workshops would be tailor-made around the

main phases of individual activities:

� presentation/consideration of draft sectoral

(baseline) outputs;

� presentation/consideration of vulnerability

assessment results;

� discussing the objectives, indicators and

development scenarios;

� discussing the possible measures for the

ICZM Plan implementation.

It is envisaged that up to five main workshops

would be organised following the dynamics of

the entire process and its phasing. In addition, a

number of smaller scale consultation meetings

with the key stakeholders would be organised as

51

part of the output development and preparation

of the workshops.

Since the key objective of the public

participation process is to ensure that all the

stakeholders are engaged in the formulation of

project activities, setting the vision, goals,

objectives, indicators and in the definition of

expected results, as well as to provide their

active participation in the verification of

individual outcomes, the public participation

process will be extended out of several main

workshops depending on the availability of

financial sources. Having the core set of

stakeholder inputs incorporated in the baseline

studies formulation through the workshop

organisation, it would be important to create an

iterative process of stakeholder participation in

formulating the ICZM Plan. Therefore, the

methodology to present to and to collect the

relevant guidelines and directions from a broad

spectrum of stakeholders, and to provide expert

evaluation of stakeholders contribution, will be

developed following the best public participation

experience and positive examples, as it was the

case with the process of the NSSD development.

A co-ordinator of the public participation would

be selected among the competent

representatives of the civil society, NGOs and

expert level stakeholders. The public

participation would be led in communication

with and under the supervision of the CAMP Co-

ordinating Team.

In order not to duplicate the efforts and

expenses, as well as to avoid confusion with the

local communities, the workshops will be

organised jointly with the activities related to

the preparation of the National Strategy on

ICZM.

A more detailed plan of participatory activities will

be designed in the implementation phase of the

project and approved by the Steering Committee.

The final workshop is envisaged to present the

overall project results.

3.

Awareness raising campaign

In parallel with the organisation of individual

activities, a series of awareness raising initiatives

will take place. The focus should be on targeting

different media and organising small-scale

activities that could motivate and engage

different groups of society. Preferably, a

partnership with an NGO could take place in

order to undertake the appropriate activities.

The central event in the campaign should be

organisation of the yearly (2012, 2013) Coast

Day celebrations. The focus of the Coast Day

would be on the implementation of the ICZM

Protocol in Montenegro designed in such a way

to address the general public. It should include

the activities tackling decision-makers but also

with a special subset of activities for youth

and/or targeted society groups. The organisation

of the national Coast Day events would link the

Project awareness-raising activities with the

ongoing initiatives in the Mediterranean.

As in all of the awareness raising activities, the

key promotional materials should be produced,

including the web-site, a brochure and a poster.

If necessary, more specific materials could be

produced.

These deliverables should be used as inputs for

the preparation of vulnerability assessments, the

ICZM Plan/Strategy and the SEA process and can

also be used for the preparation of the CASP.

With regards to the latter, it should be noted

that these studies do not present all the baseline

studies necessary for the preparation of the

CASP and therefore are subject to CASP

preparation. These assessments, as all others,

necessary within the ICZM Plan / ICZM Strategy

preparation process, should be the subject of a

widespread consultation and verification with

national and local stakeholders. The

Plan/Strategy should be approved by the Project

Steering Committee.

The first step in the process of developing the

ICZM Plan and Strategy will be to undertake the

analysis of the main coastal natural values,

processes and impacts on the coastal zone. The

analysis of biodiversity and nature protection,

hydrological, hydrogeological, littoral features

and processes and natural risks will be one of

the most important tasks. More specifically,

inputs covered with this ToR include:

1. Biodiversity and nature protection analysis;

2. Hydrological analysis and the analysis of

water quality;

3. Hydrogeological analysis;

4. Analysis of coastal processes and erosion;

5. Analysis of natural risks in the coastal area of

Montenegro.

Inputs covered with this ToR refer mainly to the

work in the four coastal municipalities: Herceg

Novi, Kotor, Tivat and Budva. However, the

analysis undertaken for the municipalities of

Bar and Ulcinj in the framework of the

MedPartnership project should be integrated

with all the outputs produced under this ToR.

The main objectives of the tasks covered within

this ToR are to:

� explain the main features and values of

coastal hydrological and hydrogeological

ecosystems and processes;

� explain the key natural and human induced

impacts to the natural processes and

ecosystems, including the dependence and

impacts of climatic variability and natural

risks; indicate the root causes of these

impacts and projections of possible

consequences;

� propose measures to reduce/mitigate

impacts in accordance with the projection of

the actual and possible causes and

consequences;

� contribute to the overall coastal GIS

database.

The activities are aimed at the realisation of the

four main groups of tasks:

� analysis/characterisation of the key coastal

ecosystems, coastal processes and natural

risks;

� identification of the key pressures (with the

root causes of these pressures) to these

systems;

� proposals of future trends of changes taking

place;

� proposal of measures to mitigate these

pressures.

54

1.

Biodiversity and nature protection

Activities to be realised include:

� Analysis of the key habitat types (rare and

threatened in particular), existing and

planned protected areas as well as the key

valuable and threatened species, with their

spatial (cartographic) distribution. The

analysis will be done mainly using the existing

data (CORINE) and will benefit from the

SPA/RAC field surveys undertaken in the

frame of the MedMPAnet project for the

creation of a network of MPAs where

necessary;

� Assess the type and cause of threats to the

coastal biodiversity and nature protection,

with indication of trends and areas under

particular impacts;

� Based on these assessments, propose priority

areas for the protection, as well as measures

for mitigating the pressures;

� Identify national priorities in terms of

biodiversity and nature protection;

� Provide maps with important habitats

(possibly with species), proposed protected

areas and threatened areas, in order to be

usable for the vulnerability assessment and

GIS data base.

2.

Hydrology with water quality

Activities to be realised include:

� Based on existing information, describe the

hydrological regime of the coastal area,

including the present status and trends.

� Description of the situation and estimation of

the trends with regard to water quality of the

river and marine (coastal waters) system, by

focusing also on the hot spot pollution

impacts, including health impacts and threats

to marine ecosystem; particular focus should

be on bathing water quality;

� Description and trends of the main pressures

(including the root causes of those

pressures); estimation of pressures on

quantitative water use and estimation of the

trends from the major pollution sources

(including its spatial distribution presented in

a GIS usable format);

� Analyse and describe the flood mechanism

and other human interference with the

Montenegro.

5.

Natural risks: climate change and seismic risks

5.1

Climate change

The main objective of this activity is to

demonstrate integration of climate change

concerns into the ICZM Plan/Strategy by

applying the Methodological guidelines prepared

by PAP/RAC. The National Communication by

Montenegro to the UNFCC should be the main

source of information in providing the national

level estimates of the main impacts in terms of

temperature increase, sea level rise,

precipitation and extreme events.

Actions to be realised:

� In the desktop exercise collect data of

relevance to identify the main pressures

from climate variability and change, in

particular with indications where and when

they are likely to be most serious;

56

� Define the main climate drivers that depend

on the existing national and local policies,

such as the policies for water and land

management that are in place or likely to be

introduced;

� Identify the most relevant climate change

problems and issues, indicating the place and

extent of their occurrence in the coastal zone

of Montenegro;

� Identify and predict the climate change risks:

a desk exercise in conjunction with the key

stakeholders and technical experts from

relevant sectors; prediction should be mostly

based on expert judgment of the available

pressures and impacts; determine relevance

of the identified climate change risk to the

ICZM Plan;

� Define the objectives and measures in the

priority areas where action is seen as

required, including the cross sectoral

priorities (e.g. adaptation to climate versus

short-term development imperatives);

� Define indicators that are aligned with the

objectives;

� Present data in appropriate maps in order to


and GIS data base.

5.2

Seismic risks

The main objective is to contribute towards the

increased preparedness to the impacts of the

seismic instability by enforcing the related data

set and define the set of measure to contribute

to the effectiveness of the integrated coastal

zone management system of Montenegro.

Actions to be undertaken:

� Collect relevant data in order to make the

assessment of the seismic risks in the coastal

area;

� Identify sectors and areas being most

vulnerable to seismic risks impacts, by using

all relevant sets of data and related

prediction scenarios produced by competent

authorities;

� Analyse seismic risks impacts in order to

define the scenarios and measures to

mitigate the seismic risks impacts ;

� Present data in appropriate maps in order to


and GIS data base.

Deliverables:

� Characterisation of the area, including maps

and information on hydrology with water

quality, hydrogeology, littoral processes and

natural risks.

� Elaboration of the key pressures, with the

root causes of those pressures (preferably

using the DPSIR approach).

pressures, in order to develop the relevant

prediction scenarios. Provide maps where

possible.

� Proposals of measures needed.

57

AnnexIII:

TechnicalSpecificationsforthetargetedsocio-economic

analysis

Targeted socio-economic analysis

The aim of this analysis is to obtain an insight

into the key coastal socio-economic processes,

analyse the obstacles related to them and the

potentials for implementation of the integrated

coastal zone management (ICZM) in

Montenegro.

Key tasks of socio-economic analysis are:

� Contribute to development of the socio-

economic profile of the coastal area, through

the analysis of situation and trends as well as

the potentials of coastal development;

� Propose possible measures (and the related

portfolio of possible investment projects)

that can generate sustainable coastal

development;

� Provide guidelines and inputs for developing

a suitability study and assessment of the

carrying capacity in tourism;

� Contribute to development of the coastal GIS

data base.

Expected results

A study of the targeted socio-economic analysis

will be made in such a way as to indicate to and

to describe in a high quality manner the existing

situation but also the trends of the coastal zone

at three basic levels: at the level of the entire

coastal area (six coastal municipalities); at the

level of individual municipalities and groups of

settlements; and in the context of the relation of

the coastal area with the rest of the state.

An important part of the study is the analysis of

the key developmental opportunities and the

potentials of the coastal area, but also the

developmental obstacles and other socio-

economic constraints. The recommendation is to

use analytical methods which take into account

the socio-cultural, economic, institutional,

political and environmental aspects by

identifying causal relations between human

activities, their impact on coastal ecosystems

and social circumstances and the established

intervention mechanisms for regulating such

relations. The proposed method is the standard

DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response)

method of the analysis of drives, pressures,

state, impact and response to the pressures.

It is important to note that the study should

include the analysis of differences within the

coastal area (between municipalities and/or

groups of settlements) in terms of concentration

and structure of economic activities, available

natural resources and products; import and

export potentials and achievements, etc.

Among other things, the study should include:

i) Socio-economic analysis of the current situation

and trends – particularly:

� The population of the coastal area and

population growth. Urban-rural population

growth. Migratory flows. The age structure of

the population. Disparities in rural and urban

areas. Living standards. Overall comparisons

at the country level. Calculation of a

demographic index.

� General characteristics of the productive

sectors of the economy in the coastal area,

including a brief assessment of the role of the

area within the national economy. Main

resources of wider significance with potential

for future development and products. Levels

58

of production and employment per economic

sectors, imports and exports, dependency on

inflows from the rest of the country.

� The size and growth of the labour force of the

coastal area compared to national situations.

Employment structure and growth. Income

levels – primary and supplementary incomes.

� Levels of performance and adequacy of social

services and technical infrastructure.

� Urban centres and settlements - size, growth

patterns, system and hierarchy of

settlements.

� Public and private sector investment

practices and potentials in key economic

sectors, with special reference to tourism.

Socio-economic impacts of tourism and

residential tourism.

� Existing policies, plans and programmes of

social and economic development of the

coastal region.

ii) Elaboration of coastal constraints and

possibilities – particularly:

� A brief description of the characteristics of

the natural container – i.e. mountainous

terrain and climate which may isolate the

coastal region from surrounding areas, limits

development of certain productive activities,

limits communication among the various

settlements, etc.;

� Problems inhibiting the growth of sectors and

economic activities:

� Adequacy of transport infrastructure, which

accentuates above problems;

� Available resources for the development of

agriculture and manufacturing;

� Control of coastal development, in particular

tourism and residential tourism

development;

� Limitations in infrastructure (electricity,

telecommunications, water, etc.), which

inhibits development in some areas;

� Outmigration;

� Technological development, skills and know-

how.

iii) Proposal of measures (and the portfolio of

possible investment projects) that might drive

sustainable coastal development;

iv) Cartographic presentations, particularly in

relation to demographic potential.

As an additional contribution to socio-economic

analysis of the situation in the coastal area, a

research is proposed to deal in more detail with

two important topics:

i) Demographic (population) potential as a

synthetic indicator of the situation of

demographic resources which can be useful

in assessing realistic prospects of the future

development projects, i.e. in planning and

reserving the space for the projects; and

ii) Impact of residential tourism to the local

socio-economic circumstances.

The above-listed analyses are particularly

important for the elaboration of the carrying

capacity concept.

The outputs and implementation timeline shall

be as follows:

AnnexIV:

Technicalspecificationsforcoastalvulnerability,attractiveness

andsuitabilityassessment

Objectivesoftheactivity

The main objectives of the activity are:

� to support the preparation of the Coastal

Area Spatial Plan - CASP (as part of the ICZM

Plan preparation);

� to evaluate the vulnerability, attractiveness

and suitability of the CAMP area (six coastal

municipalities) in accordance with the

methodology proposed by the PAP/RAC. A

general assessment of the entire CAMP area

shall be performed, focusing on obtaining

objective criteria for deciding on the site of a

specific territorial intervention and determine

impacts associated to different activities/land

use(s);

� to prepare proposals to facilitate decision-

making with respect to the prioritised

problems, above all by identification of areas

with conservation or development priority,

optimization of land use and preparation of

guidelines for technological improvements of

activities/land use(s) in a way to enlarge

effectiveness and mitigate environmental

impacts.

Specific attention could be given at:

� the identification of values in specific areas such

as parts of a narrow coastal zone (within the

setback zone), areas of valuable ecosystems,

areas with planning dilemmas, alternatives or

conflicts, areas with investment pressure,

including tourism opportunity areas;

� the Identification of those areas where the

installation of topical activities/land use,

including possible new activities/technologies

(such as wind farms or solar energy facilities,

greenhouses) would be the most suitable.

However, the latter would depend on specific

needs/requirements and in particular on actual

possibilities and technical capacities.

Detaileddescriptionofactivities

Preparation of the suitability assessment shall be

implemented in the following stages:

1.

Preparatory stage

a) Preparing a detailed determination of the

methodology

A framework of the project should be done

including:

� adaptation of the PAP/RAC methodology to

the project;

� vision on how to prepare the project

(schematic diagram might be useful);

� a detailed timetable, including the workshops

and meetings (with stakeholders, public

authorities, other teams);

� a preliminary table of contents;

� a detailed team meeting dynamics.

b) Determination of scale of the project and

considering variables of the study

� the activities/land use(s) that should be

analysed (see also the Data gathering stage:

Compilation of information);

� the environmental components that might be

analysed (see also Vulnerability modelling

stage: Definition of concerned environmental

components);

� that result has to be useful for whole CAMP

area and within special areas as well.

60

2.

Data gathering stage

a) Gathering of basic environmental data

These data include cartographic maps, geology,

relief, land cover, hydrographical network, etc.

b) Compilation of information

Information to be compiled include information

on the planning of uses, proposed projects and

measures, studying territorial planning schemes,

results of sectorial projects and obtaining maps

of problems drawn up by the sectoral

teams/experts.

Workshops/interviews with other experts,

responsible planners, territorial managers and

the main stakeholders (promoters) can be used

to collect information. The final list of planned

activities/land use(s) has to be harmonised with

those for preparing the Coastal Area Spatial Plan.

c) Selection/improvement of the software and

preparation of databases (together with a GIS

expert)

Definition of an environmental unit for

assessment. The team should use the software it

is used to. The software should enable:

� structuring of the area into homogenous

spatial units - cells (usually used in the

analysis like that, but not obligatory) or

polygons;

� annotating values to these homogenous

units;

� calculating values from different layers, for

example as: a) Linear models that combine

individual vulnerability classes according to

some linear function, such as addition; b)

Logic rules (sieve-mapping, adoption of

minimum/maximum value, frequency of

value class, etc.); c) Direct combination of

indicators using reduction matrices (showing

which combination of physical circumstances

will cause more pronounced influences).

3.

Vulnerability modelling stage

Scoping

a) Definition of concerned environmental

components.

A number of typologies of environmental

components can be found – the team should

apply one which is most suitable to the area and

problems dealing with. It is advised to use

environmental components defined in the SEA

law (A Law on Strategic Environmental

Assessment, Off. Gazette of the Republic of

Montenegro, No. 80/05 of 28.12.2005) (such as

water, nature and biodiversity, land use, cultural

heritage, landscape, human health, etc.).

b) Elaboration of a hypothesis on the

interrelationships between activities and the

landscape.

According to the definition, vulnerability is not

intrinsic to environment, but can only be defined

in relation to potential intervention. Each activity

(from the list of planned activities or land uses

that will be taken into consideration) should be

described in terms of its technology and actions

needed for its operation. The interaction of

environment and proposed activity should be

analysed to determine the causal relation and to

identify the potential negative impacts. A result

should be identification of impacts – a list of

vulnerability models. Preparation of the interaction

(or impact) matrix is very useful. It involves the

testing subcomponents of an action (intervention)

against a set of environmental components.

Conceptualization

c) Definition of vulnerability concept for each model5

and definition of criteria

The main question of the Vulnerability

Assessment is "Where the affect of singular land

5 Each model is prepared for each environmental

component.

61

uses or object would cause less/more impact?".

The model must answer the question: "Which

characteristic of the environment will affect the

size of the impact and in what way?". The size of

the impact should depend:

� on the extent of the expected change; and

� on the quality of the affected environment.

d) Identification of indicators / data sets

Selection of data that describe the vulnerability

criteria.

Evaluation

e) Evaluation of vulnerability for each model

The size of the impacts should be determined

according to impact indicators (data) values in

every spatial unit (cell). Vulnerability is

expressed in a chosen measurement unit and

ascribed to each cell. It can be interpreted as the

extent of the expected impact in this spatial unit

in case of realisation of the proposed

intervention.

f) Synthesis

Aggregation of individual models. The analytical

part of the vulnerability assessment results in a

number of models, describing the relatively

homogeneous and commendable parts of the

problem. The use of the vulnerability assessment

in decision-making processes requires that

information is provided in a more synthetic,

ready to interpret way. Therefore, some kind of

synthesis of the results (looking at environment

as a whole) should be prepared.

Note: The vulnerability modelling stage should

be done together with experts preparing sector

studies, in particular in terms of identification of

indicators and evaluation criteria.

4.

Attractiveness modelling phase

Conceptualization

a) Definition of attractiveness concept for each

model and definition of criteria

The analysis of attractiveness should imply an

aspect of suitability, which emphasises

functional, technical and investment criteria of

suitability of a site for specific use. The model of

attractiveness should present positioning of a

particular use or programme in such a way that

its optimal operation can be ensured.

b) Identification of indicators/data sets

Physical features should be confronted with

criteria for establishing attractiveness, with the

latter being devised from norms and standards

for physical development and conditions

emerging from natural properties and present

use of the area.

Evaluation

c) Evaluation of attractiveness for each model

Each category of particular data should be given

a grade from a scale of values between two

poles of attractiveness.

d) Synthesis

Aggregation of individual models (option,

dependent on problem dealing with: in case of

building a complex model with partial (simple)

model).

5.

Suitability modelling phase

a) Definition of suitability concept

Confrontation of two main groups of goals:

� protection goals, defined by a wider interest

for preservation of environmental qualities

(from the vulnerability analysis); and

62

� development goals, defined by a dedicated

interest for spatial changes (from the

attractiveness analysis).

b) Evaluation of suitability

Preparing joint models using results from the

attractiveness and vulnerability models. Working

on/with different scenarios might be an issue

(together with spatial planners preparing the

Coastal Area Spatial Plan, experts preparing

sectoral studies and experts preparing the

Strategic Environmental Assessment).

6.

Interpretation of results and conclusions stage

a) Development of guidelines, proposals or

alternatives for integrated planning and

management (cartography and texts)

The above includes:

� proposals for distribution of land uses;

� general guidelines;

� detailed guidelines for specific environmental

components, activities and areas.

1.

The ecosystem approach

The Convention on Biological Diversity has called

the ecosystem approach “a strategy for

integrated management of land, water and

living resources that promotes conservation and

sustainable use in an equitable way.” There is no

single correct way to apply the ecosystem

approach (ECAP) to management of land, water,

and living resources. The principles that

underline the ecosystem approach can be

translated flexibly to address management

issues in different social, economic and

environmental contexts.

Currently, MAP is undertaking a programme for

providing support to the Barcelona Convention

for the implementation of the ecosystem

approach. The implementation of the road map

for the application of the ECAP to the

management of human activities is on-going.

Three of the seven first steps identified to

implement the road map until July 2012 have

already been completed. The ecological vision

for the Mediterranean and the common

strategic goals have been defined and an Initial

Assessment has been prepared. The

identification of important ecosystem properties

and assignment of the ecological status and

pressures have been discussed. Thus, the

preparation of the initial assessment document

has been undertaken by a group of experts

(national and international experts with support

of the MAP components). Furthermore, a set of

11 ecological objectives corresponding to the

vision and strategic goals of the ecosystem

approach and the derivation of operational

objectives with indicators and target levels have

also been prepared and approved by the 17th

Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties to

the Barcelona Convention (Paris, February 2012).

In addition, the MED POL Phase IV, as approved

by the 14th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting

Parties to the Barcelona Convention (Portoroz,

December 2005), envisages that the ecosystem

approach to the management of human

activities that may affect the marine and coastal

environment will be adopted and implemented

by the countries. The eutrophication monitoring

strategy is a functional tool to manage nutrient

loads from point and diffuse sources but does

not really take into account the ecosystem

sensitivity and indirect effects. With the new

approach, monitoring programmes will have to

be reviewed to integrate water quality

monitoring and biological monitoring. Ecological

indices integrating community structure and

system functioning will gain more importance

(de Jonge et al., 2006). Therefore,

eutrophication monitoring will be an integral

part of the new integrated monitoring

programme of MAP in line with the Ecosystem

Approach, including all necessary indicators

(chemical and biological). These ideas should be

promoted in the medium and long-term strategy

for eutrophication. Therefore, it is necessary to

have eutrophication monitoring that is

integrated into the Ecosystem Approach (ECAP)

application as well.

64

2.

Boka Kotorska Bay – the status and needs

The eutrophication occurs when there is a

continuous input of nutrients, because the

buffering mechanisms have a limited capacity

and when this is overcome, the ecosystem

begins to change its organisation in terms of

ecological structure and functions; the chemistry

and biology of sediments also change.

Eutrophication effects in sediments follow a

distribution that is dependent on the organic

matter sedimentation process. This means that

eutrophication’s first effects have a different

geographical distribution even within the same

bay or coastline that is not necessarily related to

the distance from the sources. Wherever in a

coastal ecosystem eutrophication occurs, it is

important to ascertain the hot spot zones (refer

also to the Revision of Sediment Monitoring

Strategy of MED POL, UNEP(DEC)/MED

WG.282/Inf.5).

The perception of eutrophication is different if

we look at marine ecosystems of different

depths. In the shallow and medium depth

ecosystems the benthic community could be

directly affected. In deep waters, since a

complete mineralization occurs in the water

column, the bottom community is unlikely to be

affected. At the same, the indirect effects to

bottom community, such as the depletion of

dissolved oxygen, are to be taken into account.

This general model of eutrophication must be

kept in mind when deciding the general

monitoring strategy, parameters and state

indicators.

Specific location of Boka Kotorska Bay in the

Adriatic Sea makes it a very interesting and

specific area. That specificity is conditioned

primarily by characteristic geographical location

of the bay, as well as by its complex

geomorphology, giving the area a special mark

from the abiotic point of view. Besides the

complex of abiotic factors, specific living world

gives the additional complex biotic component,

making it the area with larger number of specific

habitat conditions or biotops. The sea enters

deeply into land (a unique fiord with the

Mediterranean climate) with the total coast

length of 105.5 km and with the total area of

around 36 km2.

The interior part of the Bay from the Verige

channel (Risan and Kotor Bay) is included into

UNESCO’s list of World cultural and natural

heritage by the decision of the World Heritage

Committee. The Boka Kotorska Bay is the area of

the highest importance for tourism development

and maritime activities.

From the geographic and oceanographic point,

Boka Kotorska Bay represents a closed pool with

specific climatologic, hydrologic and

hydrographic characteristics conditioning great

annual, seasonal, monthly and daily changes of

physical and oceanographic parameters of the

sea, so that the determination of legality of

some changes and processes is very complex.

Communication of the Bay with the open part of

the Adriatic Sea happens through the Cape Ostra

– Cape Miriste passage. According to its

geographical and hydrographic features, the

whole Bay may be divided into three parts:

� Kotor-Risan Bay, detached from the rest of

the Bay by Verige Cape;

� Tivat Bay, detached from the rest of the bay

by Verige and Kumbor Capes; and

� Herceg Novi Bay, detached from the rest of

the Bay by Kumbor Cape, and from the open

sea by coupling of Ostra and Miriste Capes.

When the eutrophication occurs, it comes to a

burst of algal bloom and emerging red and

yellow tides, and sometimes is followed by a

massive growth of underwater and floating

macrophytes. Also, sometimes visible bacterial

mucilaginous substances are formed which

additionally complicate these phenomena.

Defining the basic hydrographic and biological

parameters by well-known methodologies may

lead to the generation of very important

65

information on the state and degree of

eutrophication in this area. Also, the degree of

degradation for this water area, which is

endangered by strange and visible

anthropogenic pollution, can be determined.

As a shallow, semi-closed and medium depth

ecosystem and, Boka Kotorska Bay is affected

with by a large number of anthropogenic

impacts. Natural conditions determine a low

degree of the seawater exchange between inside

the Boka Kotorska Bay aquatorium and the open

see area. At the same time, there is a significant

inflow of fresh water to the Bay sea water,

causing a significant decrease of the salinity. The

national BB and NDA reports that are prepared

in the framework of the National Action Plan for

LBS pollution reduction indicated relatively high

pollution emissions from the solid waste

disposed in the coastal area and waste waters.

The same study confirmed a high emission level

of heavy metals, mineral oils and PAHs from

Bijela Shipyards and historical pollution in some

areas of Tivat. The bio indicators, such as

mussels, and sediment near shipyards, confirm a

high pollution rate. A more precise identification

of the eutrophication impacts on the water of

Boka Kotorska Bay has been done in the scope of

the Technical report on eutrophication of water

of Boka Kotorska Bay – a pilot study was

prepared in 2010 by the Institute for Marine

Biology and Environmental Protection Agency

with support of the MEDPOL programme.

Scientific and other knowledge of ecosystems

have shown that ecosystem health relies on key

interactions among species within an ecosystem.

Removing or damaging certain species can

dramatically affect others and prevent the

ecosystem from providing valued services.

Although ecosystems are resilient, there are

often levels of disturbance, tipping points that, if

exceeded, may make it impossible for an

ecosystem to return to its previous state. These

thresholds are difficult to predict, but can be

avoided through a sound environmental

management.

3.

The elements of the pilot project in Boka

Kotorska Bay – Integration of the ECAP

assessments into ICZM

In January 2008, during the 15th biennial meeting

of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona

Convention in Almeria, it was decided that a

number of steps would be taken to enable the

implementation of the ECAP in the

Mediterranean.

Following this and further decisions of the

Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention

on implementation of the ECAP roadmap, the

challenge to implement the roadmap for the

implementation of ECAP in the Mediterranean

can be supported by the CAMP Montenegro

through training activities and a pilot case

assessment on implementing the ECAP at the

selected location in the Montenegrin coastal

zone – Boka Kotorska Bay.

Any discussion on planning and implementing

the ecosystem approach leads inevitably to

considerations of the costs. Therefore, the pilot

case analysis for eutrophication in Boka Kotorska

Bay that has been realised with the MEDPOL

support in 2010 is to be taken as the main

indication in assessing the human activities

pressures and impacts on the status of the Boka

Kotorska Bay. Following the main indications of

this analysis, it is necessary to provide the

appropriate way for ECAP application through

integrating the eutrophication assessment and

ICZM tools implementation. In this way, so the

measures to improve the state of the

environment would be defined by screening and

defining the appropriate measures to be

implemented in the ecosystem of the Boka

Kotorska Bay.

Three main axes are to be developed within this

pilot:

i. Update of the Eutrophication impact

assessment and related training activities;

66

i.ii. Assessment of nutrient inputs in the area

from point and diffuse sources;

ii.iii. Elaboration of the key marine ecosystems,

as a frame for the ecosystem valuation;

iii.iv. Proposing green entrepreneurship

modalities that may contribute to the

improvement of the marine ecosystem

status with related training activities.

The workshops/trainings will be organised in the

first quarter of 2013, while the pilot case study

to implement ECAP will be developed in the

period January-September 2013.

The results of the pilot case study would be

integrated in the ICZM Plan to provide lessons

learned and give guidance for the future project

implementation.

3.1.

Eutrophication impact assessment (MEDPOL)

The core element of this axis would be

organisation of a capacity building training that

will provide inputs for the assessment of the

needs and opportunities for the ECAP

implementation in Boka Kotorska Bay. This

assessment, mainly based on the concepts of

eutrophication reduction, will detail the general

concept of the pilot project and define

integration of other elements (axis) within as

well as integration of its findings into the ICZM

Plan. Under the pilot case study, Montenegro

will be assisted and trained to test a model for

the calculation of nutrient inputs to the area

from diffuse sources and update NBB with

regard to that area. On this basis, management

recommendations will be made to reduce

pollution inputs.

Training activities

The training will be focused on introducing the

ECAP in integrated coastal zone management

policy and building the capacities of the relevant

decision makers at the local/national level, and

scientific and public institutions, with

participation of other interested sides.

The following topics will create the core set of

the training activities:

� steps to implementing ECAP;

� the economics of the ECAP;

� the links of the ECAP with the ICZM;

� ECAP and adaptive measures for biodiversity

and ecosystems protection that are to be

defined in adaptation strategies for the key

sectors;

� opportunities for ECAP implementation in

Montenegro;

� plans to implement ECAP in the Adriatic sub-

region and its relation with the

implementation of the MSFD in the Adriatic;

� case studies on implementing the ECAP in the

Mediterranean region and worldwide.

The training activities will be created in a

compatible manner with the project activity that

will be based on the assessment of the

opportunities to plan and apply the ECAP in Boka

Kotorska Bay as the pilot case study to be tested

in Montenegro.

The MEDPOL contribution envisaged for the

training is 4,000 Euro .

The assessment

The assessment of the needs and opportunities

for the ECAP implementation in Boka Kotorska

Bay will be prepared in parallel with the

Workshop organisation, and by integrating the

Workshop report findings. At the same time, this

assessment will be based on the methodologies

and directions defined in the relevant

UNEP/MAP documents and decisions of the

Contracting Parties, as well as the NAPs on the

SAP BIO and SAP MED implementation in

Montenegro. The integral elements that have to

be taken into account when assessing the ECAP

implementation are measures related to the

reduction of the eutrophic impacts to Boka

Kotorska Bay, especially by following the needs

67

that are identified with the eutrophic analysis

that was done in 2010.

The intention is also to create such a pilot study

that will provide valuable inputs for testing the

ECAP implementation in the Mediterranean

region, and the Adriatic as its sub-region.

The MEDPOL contribution envisaged for the

assessment is 10,000 Euro. This will be done by

supporting the national team of the CAMP to

assess the nutrient inputs in the area from the

point and diffuse sources, and prepare a plan of

recommendations related to programmes and

measures to reduce pollution.

3.2

Key marine ecosystems (SPA/RAC)

ECAP has been promoted as a tool aiming at

improving the way human activities are

managed for the protection of the marine

environment. However, to ensure the

sustainability of the exploitation of marine goods

and services, it is necessary to evaluate the

existing marine ecosystems, especially in the

context of their role in producing resources.

As part of the pilot project it is proposed to

undertake:

� assessment of the key marine ecosystems

(their main types and characteristics);and

� evaluation of their benefits, in terms of

ecological service they provide and its

attractiveness for economic activities.

With these activities it is expected to establish

links with the requirements of the Barcelona

Convention and its related Protocols, as well as

with the requirements of the Marine Strategy

Framework Directive.

3.3

The green entrepreneurship (CP/RAC)

By having the significant impact of

anthropogenic factors on the status of marine

ecosystems, the green economy tools, especially

the green entrepreneurship, can be a relevant

concept that may contribute in improving the

state of the Boka Kotorska Bay ecosystem.

The CP/RAC activities in the CAMP Montenegro

are in line with, and based on the already

existing project on green entrepreneurship in

Montenegro. Within this project, a report on

Green Entrepreneurship in Montenegro has

been prepared. The report provides relevant

information on the opportunities and challenges

for the green entrepreneurship in Montenegro,

as well as the selection of the sectors that are

found to be appropriate for the implementation

of the case studies of green entrepreneurs

providing the environmental, economic and

social values integration.

Following the conclusion of this report, it is

proposed to organise training activities on green

entrepreneurship and to prepare a report that

would elaborate the practical application of the

green entrepreneurship as one of the measures

within the ICZM Plan. The budget of 10,000 Euro

has been envisaged for the implementation of

these activities.

In addition, there is a proposal that CP/RC

contributes to a new activity (with the additional

budget) on implementation of the green

entrepreneurship, as part of the pilot project in

Boka Kotorska Bay.

Training activities

In this regard, the CAMP Montenegro will

support such an approach through the

organisation of the training and awareness

raising activities on the possibilities to

implement the Green Entrepreneurship at the

local level.

Some of the issues that will be addressed are as

follows:

� Is there an “official” definition of the Green

Entrepreneurship in Montenegro? Is there a

relevant decision of the Government on

68

Green Economy and Green Entrepreneurship

implementation in Montenegro?

� What are the public policies and initiatives to

foster transition of the green economy in

Montenegro? How international programmes

(UNEP’s Green Economy and Blue Economy)

or National programmes can be transferred

to the local level of action? Are there any

current initiatives, projects and programmes

to promote the green entrepreneurship?

� What is the social perception of the concept

of the Green Entrepreneurship and Green

Economy: Civil Society (NGOs, etc.), Business

institutions, Academia?

At the same time, the aim is to present the

experience on implementation of the Green

Entrepreneurship Initiatives over the

Mediterranean region and to identify what the

practical cases of the green entrepreneurship in

Montenegro could be and to explore how these

could be realised.

The Green Entrepreneurship workshop will be

organised in 2013, while the Report on

necessary measures needed to support the

implementation of the Green Entrepreneurship

at the local level in the framework of the CAMP

Montenegro will be developed in the period

June-December 2012. The latter will be the

direct contribution to the ICZM Plan.

The Pilot Project on implementing the Green

Entrepreneurship modalities

In order to test the effectiveness of the Green

Entrepreneurship opportunities, a report of

possible GE cases within Boka Kotorska Bay

would be prepared. In creating the pilot project,

the measures required by the Report on ECAP

implementation in Boka Kotorska Bay will be

taken into account. In line with the ECAP

measures, a socio-economic analysis of the

development opportunities of the Boka Kotorska

Bay will be prepared. An integral element of

such an analysis will be identification and

implementation of the micro Green

Entrepreneurship opportunities at a selected

micro location in Boka Kotorska Bay.

In order to meet the local needs, the interactive

consultations with the local population will be

launched. Screening and comparing the status of

the micro level economy opportunities and

needs with the regional and national

development plans, as well as the selection of

the Green Entrepreneurship activities, will be

identified and applied.

The expected outcomes of introducing green

entrepreneurship component into the ECAP pilot

project would be:

� definition of the measures that support ICZM

through the GE modalities implementation;

� validation of the GE modalities contribution

to the local economy development by

developing and monitoring of the relevant

indicators;

� validation of the positive impacts of the GE

modalities in comparison to the existing

economy trends by developing and

monitoring of the relevant indicators;

� validation of the selected GE modalities to

the reduction of the pollution emissions to

the marine ecosystem by developing and

monitoring of the relevant indicators.

Conclusion

Realisation of the project defined as it is

proposed above will enable:

� assessment of pressures from diffuse and

point sources of nutrients in the area of the

Boka Kotorska Bay and update of Assessment

of the status of the marine ecosystems of the

Boka Kotorska Bay, especially by taking into

account the state of the eutrophication

status;

� integration of the ECAP implementation

findings on eutrophication reduction into the

ICZM Plan;

� implementation of the ICZM through

enabling the integration of the best suitable

69

GE modalities that are selected in accordance

with the needs to reduce the eutrophication

rise in order to improve the status of marine

ecosystems by having in mind a good

ecological status of the Boka Kotorska Bay as

one of the key goals of the ECAP

implementation.

The project created in such a way will provide an

appropriate framework for assessing the

environmental status and socio-economic needs

in a manner to enable human activities balancing

in environmentally most suitable manner.

TechnicalSpecificationfordistributionofthetasksrelatedto

creationofadatabaseandtheindicatorsofthestateofuseand

useofthecoastalareaofMontenegro

In order to ensure the development of the data

base and indicators on the status of use and

intended use of the coastal area of Montenegro,

it is important to establish a co-ordination and

clear allocation of tasks to the two teams –

planners of the Coastal Area Spatial Plan (CASP)

and the Montenegrin CAMP team.

The sources for the implementation of the above

activities are the existing spatial plans of coastal

municipalities, as well as the Spatial Plan of

Montenegro. The land-use plans contained in

these documents will be adapted to the

structure of the required data (for the CASP),

digitalized as needed and converted to the shp

format as well as geo-referenced and connected.

Thus, they will be prepared for the analytical

processing. Since the structure of the land-use

plan of the surfaces of the CASP is not very

detailed, an appropriate less detailed structure

should be adopted. Given the ratio of the

cartographic presentations, a certain level of

generalisation is possible, for example, the

settlements with the total number of 200

inhabitants or with the surface of up to 5 ha can

be presented by a symbol and not by a real

surface (polygon). Surfaces used for transport

and other large infrastructures, apart from large

users like, for example, airports presented by

polygons, are presented by line and point

symbols. Attribute data should denote capacities

(for example, number of beds in tourist zones)

and type of accommodation capacity (for

example, hotel, the state location study) of the

zone with defined purpose of space valorisation

or zones with the adopted detailed plans (for

example the state location studies), as well as

reserve capacities (capacities of undeveloped

zones for which a detailed documentation is not

developed).

It is confirmed that there is a digital topographic

map available as well as air images from 2009.

Overlay check is needed, i.e. check of potential

deviations of the topographic map (that will be

used as a survey for the CASP) and of the

mentioned images. This is important if the

analysis of the floor area ratio of the coastal area

is done on the basis of the air images. An overlay

check is proposed in several locations, as well as

a separate check of the coastline which has to be

common for all analyses and layers of spatial

data and confirmed by the relevant authority.

It is useful to analyse the existing floor area ratio

of the buildable areas from the current plans by

using the air images from 2010 (if there is no

source which would be more recent) by

vectorizing manually the constructed areas on

the basis of the images. It is important also to

have the definition of the constructed areas on

the buildable land. These will be important input

data for the assessment of rationality of

coverage of space in the process of definition of

buildable land required in the Rulebook on more

detailed contents and form of the planning

documents. It is particularly important to make

this precise, at least for the narrow coastal belt

of 500 or 1000 m of width, which would also

facilitate the analysis of the implementation of

Article 8 of the ICZM Protocol. In this analysis it

would be desirable to take into account the

legality of construction to avoid equal

assessment of the value of zones that are legally

71

built and those that are not according to the

data of the relevant institutions.

On the basis of the communication with the

representatives of the Ministry of Sustainable

Development and Tourism the first steps in

establishing the data base are taken It is

confirmed that the MSDT will forward to the

CAMP team all the data it receives from the

CASP planners which are necessary for the

implementation of CAMP.

Activity Responsible team Note

Collecting current spatial plans of coastal municipalities, Spatial Special Purpose Plan for Coastal Area and Spatial Plan of Montenegro

Planner preparing CASP – report and annex with graphics presenting land use

The maps with land use in a digital form (vector) are priority

Collecting the adopted state location studies for possible correction of the land use zones defined in the municipal spatial plans

State location studies are delivered to the CASP planner who will make a critical assessment and propose corrections

Vectorizing into shp format (or conversion from dwg format) and geo-referencing of plans referred to in 1 on the basis of the survey approved by the Ministry as the survey for CASP (25,000)

Survey should include the coastal line adopted by the relevant authority

Establish the criteria of generalization of small polygons for presentation in CASP

This will be done in line with the Rulebook on more detailed contents and form of planning document/criteria for the land use, elements of zoning regulations, unique graphic symbols (defined presentation of the use through point, line and polygon).

Defining categories of land use for CASP

Hierarchical matching of detailed categories of the land uses from the municipal spatial plans and the categories of land use for CASP

Entering attributive data for the types of land use of CASP according to the situation in the current spatial plans of the coastal municipalities and planned capacities of tourism zones

Analysis of the available orto-photo and satellite images in terms of to what extent they are suitable for making a distinction between undeveloped part of the buildable land (in terms of resolution and accuracy of overlay)

The orto-photo images from 2005 and 2007 are available. Representative samples of individual images are necessary

72

Activity Responsible team Note

Vectorisation in shp format and forming the layer with constructed parts of the buildable land (with defined purpose) with a precise coverage of the belt of 200-300 m from the coastal line (suitable to the presentation in the ratio 1:10.000), on the basis of the appropriate image

Agree on the definition of the constructed parts of buildable land

Overlay of the layers with the constructed parts of the buildable land and analysis of the floor area ratio, i.e. establishing the reserves for certain land uses

It is the obligation of the CASPCASP planner to do the overlay of orto-photo images with the existing plans to come to the data that refer to the implementation of the existing spatial planning documentation, but also to recognition and records keeping of informally constructed buildings, settlements, etc. It is also the task of the planner to analyse the data obtained through overlay of these images with the existing plans, as well as to propose the appropriate solutions in line with the goals and principles of the ICZM Protocol.

Integrated Coastal Zone Management Strategy for Montenegro

Inception Report

In delivering ICZM as a way for ensuring sustainable use of coastal resources, economic prosperity

and social welfare of coastal populations, PAP/RAC focuses its efforts on providing technical

assistance, guidelines and methodologies for the practical implementation of ICZM in selected

Mediterranean coastal regions through the projects of the MAP Coastal Area Management

Programmes (CAMPs).

Since 1989, several cycles or generations of CAMP projects were implemented in (listed

chronologically, from the past to recent CAMPs): Albania, Croatia, Greece, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey,

Egypt, Israel, Algeria, Lebanon, Malta, Slovenia, Cyprus and Morocco delivering integrated

sustainable development solutions in partnership with national authorities and local communities.

Cultural heritage and protected areas have always been in the core of these projects.

Currently, CAMP Spain is to be completed soon, while CAMP Montenegro is in its full swing and

should be completed next year. Two new projects are being negotiated, namely CAMP France and

CAMP Italy.

All these projects can be considered as a new generation of CAMPs seen as ICZM Protocol

implementation projects at local level, i.e. as prototype interventions to assist countries to

implement the Protocol.
