3.3 Reflection on the Principles for ICZM
47
Exercise
• Compare the Hershman et al. (1999) recommendations with the Rupprecht Consult
(2006) recommendations. What are the similarities? What are the differences? To
what extent do you guess that the different constitutions of the USA or the EU are
influential to your findings?
• Read the success as well as the failed factors mentioned in Rupprecht Consult (2006)
carefully. Compare these factors from 2006 with the current situation in selected EU
Member States. For example, what about the performance of selected Mediterranean
Member States according to the agreement on the Barcelona Protocol on ICZM in
2009?
• Rupprecht Consult (2006) touched the question whether the further implementation
process of ICZM should be incentive-based or regulated by an EU Directive. Discuss
the pros and cons of an incentive-based or a mandatory approach.
• One of the statements in the report of the EU Commission (EC, 2007, p. 9) was:
“. . . strategies to adapt to these risks should be developed and implemented in full
coherence with ICZM strategies and instruments . . . ”. Most of the ICZM strategies
of the Member States have been developed on the basis of existing rules, laws and
directives. One should suppose that these regulations already consider different types
of risk in one or the other way. If not, how can the relationship between sectoral
policies and the ICZM strategy according to the handling of risk make a difference?
• Given the brief description of the conclusions for the follow-up to the EU ICZM
Recommendation by the Working Group in 2009 and the listing of ICZM efforts.
Find Regional Sea Conventions in Europe and describe in which way ICZM is considered. Draft a comparison between the EU Recommendation and the achievements
of the Regional Sea Conventions according to ICZM efforts.
