Bulgarian National Annual Report on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) – 2013 Bulgarian National Annual Report on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) – 2013 Coordinated by Lyudmil Ikonomov, National Focal Point for Bulgaria in the ICZM Advisory Group to the Black Sea Commission INTRODIUCTION The data on the ICZM indicators presented in the spreadsheet reporting format includes information about the 16 municipalities bordering directly the Black Sea or water bodies, connected to it (i.e., the Lakes of Varna and Beloslav, the Burgas Lakes, etc.). These 16 municipalities are located in 3 separate administrative districts, as follows: District of Dobrich: Municipalities of Shabla, Kavarna and Balchik; District of Varna: Municipalities of Aksakovo, Varna, Devnya, Beloslav, Avren, Dolni Chiflik, Byala. District of Burgas: Municipalities of Nessebar, Pomorie, Burgas, Sozopol, Primorsko, Tsarevo. Boundaries of the Bulgarian Administrative Districts 1 The main sources of information used as a basis for this Report are the Regional Statistics Yearbooks for the above districts, published by the National Statistical Institute’s Territorial Bureaus in Dobrich, Varna and Burgas (see the map below). The information on some of the indicators in the report is provided at municipal level, and some - only at district level, due to availability of data in the NSI database, used as a source. Municipalities bordering the Black Sea and coastal lakes For the purposes of integrated coastal zone management it might be a better practice to collect the information at the level of the Black Sea River-Basin Region in its boundaries (see the figure below), as defined in its Black Sea River Basin Management Plan, adopted in March 2010. In order to achieve that, other possible information sources should be explored, because the currently used NSI 2 reports do not provide data on such level. The data in these reports is based on the administrative units (data at municipal or at district level) and the boundaries of the Black Sea River-Basin Region on the other hand are established on territorial basis (covering parts of administrative districts and parts of municipalities according to the river catchment areas). Boundaries of the Bulgarian Black Sea Basin The 2013 Report includes data with relevance up to 2011 (and for some parameters up to 2012) which is the regular time-lag of publishing statistical data by the Bulgarian National Statistical Institute. The statistical information for 2012 and 2013 is still under preparation and will be published respectively in 2014 and 2015. In order to avoid differences in the reports the data in the columns for previous years (2009 - 2011) was updated using the same sources of information as the data for 2011 - the Statistical District Reviews for the Districts of Dobrich, Varna and Burgas, published in 2012. The data regarding the protected areas (territories) and protected zones (NATURA 2000) was updated according to the online 3 register managed by the Executive Environmental Agency. The following official reports have been used: National Statistical Institute, Territorial Statistics Bureaus in Varna, Dobrich and Burgas, Statistical District Reviews for 2011 of Varna, Dobrich and Burgas Districts, published in 2012 (containing data with relevance up to 2010); National Statistical Institute, Statistical Yearbook 2012 of Republic of Bulgaria, published in 2013; Data, published on the Official Natura 2000 web page: http://natura2000bg.org/ ; Executive Environmental Agency, Register of the Protected Areas and the Protected Zones in Bulgaria (online database): http:// http://pdbase.government.bg/zpo/bg/index.jsp ; Data, published on the official web page of the Union of the Bulgarian Black Sea Local Authorities (UBBSLA): http://ubbsla.org/en/index.html Besides the official reports two specialised publications with a focus on the local factors of climate change have also been used: Celebrating World Water Day on March 22 and World Meteorology Day on 23 March 2012; Press conference: National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, BAS, Varna Branch., Dr. Ivan Ivanov; Varna, 2012. The information in this Report (including the data for previous years) is updated, according to the most recent sources available. The major difficulties in gathering and systemizing the available data are explained in the text bellow. LEGISLATION The two main Bulgarian legal acts which regulate the management of the coastal zone are the Bulgarian Law for Spatial Planning of the Black Sea Coast and the Bulgarian Spatial Planning Act. In 2012 some important amendments related to the coastal zone have been adopted, namely, requirements to the municipal spatial and land-use plans to include regulations and conservation measures for the coastal water-area as well. Another key legal document related with the regulation of the activities in the coastal zone trough measures for integrated water management is the Water Act (Prom. SG. 67/27 Jul 1999). According to the requirements of the Act, the territory (and the aquatic areas) of Bulgaria are divided into river basins as a basic unit for integrated water management, each of them having their own management structure and their own management plan. In 2012 the Water Act was amended with a requirement for the Minister of Environment and Waters to participate in the National Council for Spatial Planning when spatial plans concerning coastal zones, coastal biodiversity and coastal infrastructure will be discussed and approved. The Water Management Plan for the Black Sea River-Basin Management Region was adopted in 2010 by the Order of the Minister of Environment and Waters (No.РД-294, of 22.03.2010). The Plan is the main inter-sectoral strategic tool for water management in Bulgaria. It includes a set of measures (Programme of Measures) for water protection and restoration, most of which are related to the activities still to be implemented in the coastal zone, thus setting the frame for integrated coastal zone management in Bulgaria. 4 In accordance with Directive 2007/60/EC (the “Flood Directive”) and with Chapter 9 of the Bulgarian Water Act 2012 a Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment has been prepared by the Black Sea Basin Directorate. The Preliminary Assessment describes the areas in which significant floods have occurred in the past causing damage to the real property, technical infrastructure and to human health. It contains maps in GIS format of the floods, the rate and direction of flood wave propagation and the duration of the flood events. The Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment is the first stage of the future Flood Risk Management Plan of the Bulgarian Black Sea River Basin. POPULATION AND GEOGRAPHY The information in the “Population and Geography” sector is calculated on the basis of data acquired at the municipal level.
