Updated Draft National Coastal Management Programme

Below is a copy of the initial draft of updated National Coastal Management Programme for initial comment and input. Please pass on to your respective MCC representatives – a request will also be sent to WG8 members. The present version is the initial draft and there will be further opportunities to comment as the draft progresses.

The document is also accompanied by a questionnaire for completion by all reviewers, which is intended to gauge and assess the experiences and challenges for coastal management in the hope of improving the implementation of the NCMP and the ICM Act.
