In December 2017, the project “Med Coasts for Blue Growth (MEDCOAST4BG )” received the UfM label. The project general objective is to analyze and promote the co-evolution of human activities and natural systems in coastal areas particularly or potentially devoted to tourism, taking into consideration climate change effects, sustainable development of tourist activities, and basing its analysis and actions on the principles of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). The project, promoted by CPMR Intermediterranean Commission, will consider the whole Mediterranean, in terms of analysis, development of tools, capacity building, transferability of approaches, guidelines and best practices, and will focus on a number of pilot areas in Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Spain and Tunisia.
