Legacy of SUSTAIN

A means of scoring these indicators in an objective way.
A means of giving a cumulative indexation of the sustainability effort.

Integration land-sea
Project was entirely based on ICZM. As this policy initiative has been included in the MSP, it directly addresses very focussed aspects of the maritime area related to the coastal zone rather than the open sea.

To make available and promote sustainable environmental practices;
To promote social unity and durability;
To provide consistent management, cohesive policies….. for the wise use of the coast.
