Coastal Zone Policy

This site, part of the European Commission Environment website, focuses on the Demonstration Programme on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) which ran between 1996 to 1999. The Programme aimed to "provide technical information about sustainable coastal zone management, and stimulate a broad debate among the various actors involved in the planning, management or use of European coastal zones." Amongst the information contained on the website, are the Forum's Conclusions, Publications, Tourism Studies, and an Assessment, best-practice and case-study report.

Fishlex

Fishlex is a database produced by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, an online version of the Coastal State Requirements for Foreign Fishing. It gives details of national legislation relating to foreign fishing in waters under national jurisdiction and of the participation of each country in relevant international agreements. Links to national legislation and international agreements are provided, where available. Fishlex can be searched by country, regional organisation or broad geographical area.
