EC public consultation: Maritime Spatial Planning and Integrated Coastal Zone Management
European Commission seeks to explore options for future EU action in coastal management and maritime planning
The EC has launched an online public consultation for all those with an interest in Integrated Coastal Zone Management and/or Maritime Spatial Planning.
Through the consultation the European Commission seeks to explore options for future EU action in coastal management and maritime planning. The responses to the consultation will feed into an impact assessment report and possible proposals for new EU action by the end of 2011.
The public consultation can be found on the Commission's / DG Environment website:
