Governance and Communication for Sustainable Coastal Development GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNICATION FOR SUSTAINABLE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT Raimonds Ernšteins (Ed) Department of Environmental Management Faculty of Economics and Management University of Latvia Rīga 2011 Governance and Communication for Sustainable Coastal Development Effective environmental communication, including awareness raising, education and outreach, is essential for promoting sustainable development. The sustainable future lies with our ability to educate children and adults to take responsibility for the common environment. The educational programs designed for environmental communication are a critical component in supporting the learning processes needed for sustainable living as known today and for finding the ways needed for tomorrow’s actions. The project Cobweb is creating from this need. It focuses in creating models for cross-border cooperation where the key actors, such as universities, museums and nature and environmental schools, are together building environmental educational programs. Programs which are based on the latest knowledge of environmental and sustainability issues and effective environmental communication but also touching to people’s feelings and senses. Cobweb combines the scientific approach with concrete awareness raising activity and methodology approach to a joint educational material building process with concrete outputs. The COBWEB is co-financed by the European Union Central Baltic INTERREG IV A Programme 2007-2013 ”. The contents of this publication represent the views of the publishers.

Project Introduction The two training modules (TM) as the main project product and also complementary resource materials (RM) that have been developed by our team at the University of Latvia on the topics of Integrated coastal management and communication (TM-1) and on Coastal communication for sustainable development (TM-2) are designed and intended to serve for both: o as the so-called train-the-trainers training program and resource material as well as o hands-on optional resources for them for their everyday further local coastal training untilisation, with the aim of providing an opportunity of sharing both theoretical backgrounds and approaches and, of course, practical experiences on coastal management and communication innovation among different types of local coastal educators (nature schools, universities, NGOs, museums etc.) in order to serve and encourage for local development participatory actions all the main coastal stakeholders and general public. All these educators will have the possibility to select those parts and/or sub-parts etc of the whole material of the both prepared training modules which best suit their interests and needs and to include them into their own educational-training programmes and thereby broadening – we hope - the thematic and methodological scope of their educational work. Thereby, these modules serve to achieve the project’s key objective – to create models of co-operation in the field of environmental education and communication between o universities, o environmental and nature schools and o museums, and o other local stakeholders to be involved, in order to strengthen the connection between the sources of environmental knowledge and users at the coastal areas-municipalities in the Central Baltic’s sea region. Draft 5 Project realization on costal communication as per related work package (WP-3) in Latvia is lead by the Department of Environmental Management (DoEM) at the University of Latvia, Faculty of Economics and Management, having extensive experience background, e.g. DoEM Environmental communication research and practice in Latvia: o A series of case study research initiatives over the last decade carried out by full-scale case study research methodology at the local urban and rural municipalities of Cesis, Carnikava, Liepaja, Roja, Ventspils, Dundaga etc o Done in collaboration research and development projects with local municipalities and with necessary involvement of all local stakeholders as well as with related institutions and experts outside o More detailed studies - four main collaboration communication success stories in Latvian municipalities – Liepaja, Ventspils, Livani and Cesis DoEM work for COBWEB joint project could be represented by the following main activities to be done and products to be developed: • Coastal empirical seminars for background, desing and testing work planned: o Stakeholder seminars (SS) for coastal municipal case studies : – Saulkrasti municipality Integrated coastal management (ICZM) – Saulkrasti municipality Coastal communication development o Fact-finding seminars (FS) - coastal communication (CC) and indicators (CI) resources: – Liepaja municipality – Kolka municipality – Salacgriva municipality – Saulkrasti municipality – Riga integration seminar o National coastal communication seminars o Test-run seminars – national and international regular ongoing according to CS, RM and TM design and

  • GI Case Analysis Coastal Areas
    TASK 4.1: IN-DEPTH CASE ANALYSIS – GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFICIENCY – ENV.B.2./SER/2010/0059 PROJECT TEAM: IEEP, ECOLOGIC, GHK, SYZYGY, TAU, UNIVERSITY OF ANTWERP, VITO GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN-DEPTH CASE ANALYSIS THEME 3: MULTIFUNCTIONAL USE OF COASTAL AREAS Author: Marcelline Bonneau (GHK), [email protected], +32 2 2750123 1 Introduction The coast is the area where the land meets the sea and more particularly the “air-sea-land interface zone around continents and islands” (Firn Crichton Roberts Ltd and University of Strathclyde 2000). As such, it has a total length of 89,000 km in the EU. In addition, half the population of the Member States which have a coastline live within 50 km of the sea (European Commission, 2000). Coasts are defined by their richness in biodiversity elements (see,for example, European Environment Agency, 2002, and the INTERREG IIIC Deduce project). In particular, eight out of the 40 EU-listed priority habitats of wild fauna and flora fall into the coastal habitat. Also, a third of the EU's wetlands are located on the coast as well as more than 30% of the Special Protected Areas designated under the Birds Directive (79/409/EEC). In addition, the reproduction and nursery grounds of most fish and shellfish species of economic value also lie in coastal areas and account for almost half of the jobs in the fisheries sector (European Commission, 1997). At the same time, coasts play an important role in the development of local and regional economies. A study carried out by the University of the Aegean (2001), showed that the most important sectors in economic terms in the coastal zones were mostly tourism and leisure, agriculture and food, sea fisheries, ports and shipping, and residential housing.

    Proceedings of the 2020 International Conference "ECONOMIC SCIENCE FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT" No 54 Jelgava, LLU ESAF, 12-15 May 2020, pp. 99-108 DOI: 10.22616/ESRD.2020.54.012 LOCAL COASTAL GOVERNANCE ASSESSMENT DEVELOPMENT: COASTAL GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK REPORTING 12 Raimonds Ernsteins1, Dr.habil.paed./Prof.; Maija Stokmane2, MSc.biol. and Arturs Pudans3, BSc.env.sc. 1,2,3University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia Abstract. Coastal governance practice at the local level in Latvia has various shortages and the reasons behind that are several, including, that the coastal municipalities have neither sufficient coastal information and understanding, nor integrative planning tradition and active stakeholder’s participation experience. The aim is to study to what extent and how municipal coastal governance (MCG) has been developed and accordingly performed towards effective pro-environmental and pro-coastal policies, thus analysing the coastal governance dimensions – governance content, process and its documents, main stakeholders understanding and contribution - in Jurmala municipality as a chosen coastal pilot territory, since being especially sensitive area at the Latvian coastline. The summary results of case study research (document studies, observation and stakeholder’s interviews) suggest, that the municipality still has limited focus on sustainable coastal governance – in general, underdeveloped internationally acknowledged integrated coastal management (ICM) implementation approaches and related requirement on various basic ICM capacities development. There are neither specially designed coastal planning and management system (ICM sectorial/cross-sectorial approach), nor well developed ICM integration into statutory municipal development planning process and products (ICM integration approach). Existent MCG is based on long existing traditional approach of former and formal sector-based municipal development planning with limited cross-sectorial perspectives and linking.
