The Tunisian Coastline

1,300 km

500 km of beaches

60 islands of different size

70 coastal wetlands (lagoons and Sebkha)

High marine and coastal biological diversity

69.2% of the population in coastal regions (2004)90% of tourism in coastal regions (190,000 beds in 2005)41 fisheries ports, 8 large commercial ports, 7 marinas

Land-borne pollution in sea and coastal wetlands

Overexploitation of natural resources – over fishing

Destruction of fragile marine and coastal habitats…

National policies

Creation of the « Agence de Protection et d’Aménagement du Littoral » (Law n°72-95 July 1995) to implement the national policies related to the protection and management of the coastal areas

National levelRéglementation de l’aménagement du territoire et de l’urbanisme, du domaine public maritime, des rejets, des études d’impact sur l’environnement, de la lutte contre la pollution marine

International levelTunisia is party to the Barcelona Convention and it is called to develop a national strategy on ICZM in accordance to the Protocol ICZM (Madrid 2008)

Institutional framework

• Le Ministère de l'Environnement et du Développement Durable

• Le Ministère de l'Agriculture des Ressources Hydrauliques

• Le Ministère de l'Equipement, de l'Habitat et de l'Aménagement du territoire

• Ministre du Tourisme et les organismes sous sa tutelle (AFT, ONTT)

• Ministère de l’Intérieur et du Développement Local qui assure la tutelle des municipalités

The Commission Nationale du Développement Durable (CNDD) was establised in 1993 to improve the national development programmes and steering them towards sustainability

Page 6: ICZM experience in Tunisia: preliminary results and lessons learned from the SMAP III- Tunisia project Alessandra Pomé WWF Mediterranean Programme Office.

To promote the sustainable management of the coastal zones through:1. Streamlining environmental aspects into national and sectorial

strategies/programmes/policies2. Promoting the ICZM3. Managing the « Zones sensibles » 4. Strengthening the local governance of the coastal areas

Development of a national ICZM strategy • Implement pilot projects on the management of « Zones Sensibles » and

Marine Protected Areas• Develop a programme for the depollution of the Golf of Tunis• Implement an integrated programme « Rivages pour tous » to improve the

management of the beaches• Update the coastal profile and define a strategy • Strengthen the role and capacity of the Observatoire du Littoral

SMAP III-Tunisia Coastal area of Kroumirie & Mogods

South coast of Grand Sfax

Two concerted ICZM action plans to be used as model for a national ICZM plan

Page 8: ICZM experience in Tunisia: preliminary results and lessons learned from the SMAP III- Tunisia project Alessandra Pomé WWF Mediterranean Programme Office.

Main ICZM issues

Kroumirie & Mogods (rural quasi-pristine area)

Marine/Coastal protected area as a tool for sustainable management of the coastal resources

– legal framework for the creation of the MPA

– management plan for the MPA

Sustainable economic development of the rural areas (tourism, fisheries and agro-forestry)

Grand Sfax (second urban and industrial pole in Tunisia)A new territorial management and planning of the southern coast of Grand Sfax:

Progressive de-contamination of the SIAPE and other industrial sites Creation of a natural-cultural pole in Thyna inlcuding the existing archeological site, wetlands and urban park Integration of the salt mines in the urban context and promotion of tourism Promotion of sustainable tourism and fisheries management

Intégration de la saline de Sfax dans

le tissu urbain

Bien que le schéma directeur d’aménagement a

préconisé le desserrement de la saline, l’étude a

montré qu’une intégration de la saline dans le tissu

urbain constituerait une meilleure opportunité dans un

contexte de gestion intégrée.

Preliminary lessons learned

• Political will and support

• Local lobbying groups – interested parties

• Full transparency of the planning process

• Ensure access to all parties

• Full accountability of the institutions leading the planning

process

• Good understanding of the ICZM process

• Accompanying measures (not only meetings and studies, but

on-the-ground activities)

• ICZM takes time and needs patience
