6 An extensive evaluation of European ICZM efforts was conducted in 2006 by Rupprecht Consult
and the International Ocean Institute – see Rupprecht Consult (2006) and in Sect. 3.3.2 on
p. 43. As stated in the EU recommendations on ICZM reporting periods were set for Member States. The first period was until 2006 and the second from 2006 to 2010. Here, these
periods will serve as the basis for descriptions. Three Member States were chosen to indicate the differences in the approach of implementing ICZM. Furthermore, the description
of Spain should elucidate the difference between the status planning systems and existing
regulations in different EU countries.

Reporting Period 2002–2006
The national strategy on ICZM for Germany was conducted responsibly by the Federal
Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. Germany published
the national strategy in March 2006.

The report on the national strategy on ICZM was a stock-take of existing land and sea
uses and regulations for the German coast (for example Fig. 2.1), that is, North and Baltic
Sea. The first part of the strategy report finished with the description of the status of the
coastal environment and the effects of climate change. The second part of the document
