| Country | Lagoons and Spawning Grounds Intended for Restoration | Effects of measures |
| Bulgaria | Project for protection an area of about 6 500 ha along the northern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast by means of so called cold mines - protectors against illegal bottom trawling. which destroy the spawning and nursery grounds, mainly for Gobies and Turbot. | The project was implemented and the turbot stocks are now in the process of assessment. Gobies and Turbot feel better not because of the mines, but due to stronger control on illegal fishery and lack of anoxia. |
| Georgia | Poti - Ochamchiri | No management in place, not designated as MPAs, no special protection measures. |
| Romania | The Danube Biosperic Biological Reserve and Marine Reserve 2 Mai Vama Veche | They were designated as MPAs |
| Russian Federation | The Russian Government and the State Duma elaborate a new Bill on sturgeons conservation that envisages measures for protection of these areas. | The sturgeons are still in a very depleted stay. |
| Turkey | No information is available. | Fishing of Turbot is forbidden in May |
| Ukraine | During the spawning period fishery activities on spawning grounds not allowed. | There is a strict control and fisheries inspections during spawning periods, there were bans for Turbot and sturgeon catches for a number of years, recently the ban for turbot was waived due to improved stock. |

II.13. Black Sea Facilities Keeping Marine Mammals in Captivity (Dolphinaria
During the 15th meeting of the Scientific Committee of ACCOBAMS the following information was presented (ACCOBAMS-SC5/2008/Doc 15):
A Party to ACCOBAMS, holds dolphins in captivity in one facility. The Varna Dolphinarium was established in 1984 with five wild-caught bottlenose dolphins imported from Cuba, although there are no CITES records to confirm this. At present most animals (but one) are represented by descendants of those Caribbean cetaceans. Shows are offered to the public.
We are not aware of any facilities holding dolphins in captivity in Georgia at present, a Party to ACCOBAMS. A former dolphinarium at Batumi was closed in 1991. Recent reports suggest there are proposals to reopen a facility there, as new Batumi dolphinarium is currently under construction. The CITES trade database records an import of three wild-caught bottlenose dolphins from Ukraine in 2001, but WDCS is not able to verify whether the trade actually occurred.
Therefore at present there are no operating dolphinarium and captive cetaceans in Georgia. In the early 1990s the bottlenose dolphins were taken from the former Batumi dolphinarium and exported to Yugoslavia, then re-exported to Malta, finally all of them died in captivity.
Romania, a Party to ACCOBAMS, holds dolphins in captivity in one facility. The Constanta Dolphinarium holds only one Black Sea bottlenose dolphin imported from Russia, although three animals of the same species were imported in or around 1998. In 2005, a common dolphin was also held at the dolphinarium, following a stranding but has now died. CITES trade data records the import of three wild-caught bottlenose dolphins from the Russian Federation in 1998. There is also one southern sea lion at the pool in Constanta.
There are at least eight facilities holding dolphins in captivity in Russia, an ACCOBAMS range state. The facilities are located in Bolshoy Utrish (Anapa), Maly Utrish (Novorossiysk), Gelendzhik, Sochi, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-na-Donu and Yessentuki. Dolphins are also used in Russian traveling circuses. Live captures and international trade are important issues in the Russian Federation. Well over 100 wild-caught Black Sea bottlenose dolphins were exported from the Russian Federation between 1990 and 2001 to dolphinarium facilities around the world. The trade, although continuing, has lessened since a proposal was approved at the 12th Conference of the Parties to CITES to retain the Black Sea bottlenose dolphin on CITES Appendix II but with a quota set at zero for the export of live dolphins wild-captured in the Black Sea for primarily commercial purposes. Between 1990 and 2005, 165 belugas were exported from the Russian Federation for display in dolphinaria around the world. The vast majority, if not all of these animals, were captured from the wild. CITES trade data records the export of 156 bottlenose dolphins between 1992 and 2003.
There are two dolphinaria in Moscow, and another one is situated in Lazarevskaya (Russian Caucasus).
Turkey, an ACCOBAMS range state has at least nine facilities holding dolphins in captivity. In November 2006 there were seven facilities:
1) Dolphinland, Antalya holds one beluga and two bottlenose dolphins from Russia and offers shows, swimming with dolphins and dolphin assisted therapy.
2) Troy Dolphinarium, Antalya holds one beluga and two bottlenose dolphins from Ukraine and Russia and offers shows and swimming with dolphins.
3) Moonlight Dolphinarium, Antalya holds two bottlenose dolphins from Ukraine and offers shows, swimming with dolphins and dolphin assisted therapy.
4) Dolphinarium, Kas holds two bottlenose dolphins captured in Turkey and offers dolphin assisted therapy.
5) Adaland, Kuşadasi holds three bottlenose dolphins and offers shows.
6) Dolphinarium, Bodrum holds one bottlenose dolphin from the Black Sea and offers shows and swimming with dolphins.
7) Aqua Dolphin, Istanbul holds one bottlenose dolphin from the Black Sea and offers shows.
An eighth dolphinarium has opened in Marmaris offering dolphin assisted therapy, a ninth, Adaland, in Alanya, due to open in April 2008 displaying bottlenose dolphins imported from Japan and offering dolphin assisted therapy and reports suggest additional facilities are also proposed in Istanbul and Fethiye. In 1995, four Black Sea bottlenose dolphins were imported from Ukraine and held in sea pens in Marmaris harbour. They were returned in the same year and the facility closed. CITES trade data records the import of 23 bottlenose dolphins, eight each year in 2001 and 2002, including four from Ukraine, four introductions from the sea, four from the Russian Federation and a further four from Ukraine that originated in the Russian Federation and seven in 2005 and 2006 from Russian and Ukraine, including five wild-captured from Ukraine.
There are 11 facilities holding dolphins in captivity in Ukraine, a Party to ACCOBAMS.
1. Yalta (two dolphinaria) holds two bottlenose dolphins and a beluga.
2. Odessa dolphinaria (two) hold at least two bottlenose dolphins.
3. Sudak dolphinarium (Karadag biostation) holds at least two bottlenose dolphins for shows and research.
4. Yevpatoria dolphinarium holds at least two bottlenose dolphins for dolphin therapy.
5. Ukraine State Oceanarium/Sanatorium holds around a dozen bottlenose dolphins, including individuals captured in the Ukrainian waters of the Black Sea, for swimming with dolphins and dolphin assisted therapy.
Further facilities are located at Partenit (Alushta), Feodosia, Koktebel (Feodosia) and Sevastopol (two). Ukraine was involved in the trade in bottlenose dolphins from the Black Sea between the mid-1980s and late 1990s. CITES trade data records imports of 26 wild-caught bottlenose dolphins from the Russian Federation between 1995 and 2006. Exports of 27 bottlenose dolphins, the majority wild-captured, are also recorded between 2002 and 2006, including to Belarus, Lebanon, Turkey and Georgia.
Marine mammals rehabilitation center is situated on lake Donuzlav (NW Crimea). II. 14. Protected Areas

II. 14. 2. Protected Areas in the Black Sea Coastal States (National reporting)
Fig. II.14.1. Protected Areas in Bulgaria (1) and in Georgia (2)
In Bulgaria the Black Sea and coast comprises 42 designated protected areas: mainly coastal terrestrial, wetlands (Ramsar sites) and between them Ivan and Peter Islands, Koketrais banka (Bourgas Bay) and Cape Kaliakra reserve. Cape Kaliakra is situated at the end of a long and narrow peninsula on the Western coast of the Black Sea. The reserve occupies 687,5 ha and besides the steppe areas includes cliffs up to 70 m high.
The Kolkheti National Park (wetlands and marine) is designated as marine protected area among 23 other conservation sites in Georgia. Recognized as an important natural area early in the 20th century, a 500 hectare area of swampy forest and mire between the Rioni and Pichori Rivers was established as Kolkheti Nature Reserve in 1935. The world-wide significance of the region was acknowledged in 1996 when Georgia joined the international convention on wetlands, known as the Ramsar convention, and all the mires and other natural areas of the Kolkheti lowlands were identified as Ramsar sites of international importance.
Romania: Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (Fig. ), hosting an amazing range of habitats and life forms, in a relative small area, is a real museum of biodiversity, a natural genetic bank with incalculable value for the worldwide natural patrimony.
Fig. II.14.2. Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve.
In 1990, by the Government of Romania and by the Romanian Parliament, through Law 82/1993, the Danube Delta was recognized as a Biosphere Reserve. This reserve has an administration, a management plan and rules for the activities.
The Marine Reserve 2 Mai - VamaVeche was founded through Decision 31/1980 of the Constanta County Council (Romania), and confirmed as a protected area by Law No. 5/2000, regarding the approval of the National territory arrangement plan, code 2.345. Starting with June 2004, the reserve was put, for a period of five years, under the custody of the Grigore Antipa National Institute for Marine Research and Development, which triggered a series of activities aimed to lead to the application of a proper management, accordingly with the present requirements.
The reserve has a custodian teams and the Management Plan and the Rules was approved by the Romanian Academy and under approval by the Ministry of Environment and Water Management.
Under MO no 1964/2007 on establishing the status of protected areas of sites with communitarian importance which are integrated in NATURA 2000 network, 6 protected areas were integrated in marine protected areas network (Danube Delta reserve, metanogenous structures Sf. Gheorghe, submersal beach Eforie , Capul Tuzla, marine sulphorous pounds Mangalia, Marine Reserve 2 Mai - Vama Veche).
In Romania birds marine protected areas had been designated under GD 1284/2007 on establishing special protected areas of avifauna as part of ecological European Natura 2000 network in Romania
Russian Federation: There are a number of protected areas at the Russian Azov and Black Sea coasts (totally 1050 km). The most important of them are Caucasus biosphere reserve (280 thousand ha) and Sochi National Park (190 thousand ha).
Two wetland sites at the Azov Sea coast have international importance (Ramsar sites) and two protected areas are of national significance - Priazovskiy (42 thousand ha) and Tamano-Zaporozhskiy (30 thousand ha) natural reserves.
At the Black Sea coast the state coastal and marine reserve Bolshoy Utrish was created by Resolution of Krasnodar Kray Governor in 1994. The area is 20 km away from Anapa and its size is 5112 ha, including 2582 ha of land and 2530 ha of the Black Sea.
There are several terrestrial protected sites (Fig. II.14.3) national parks, nature protection sites etc.) along the Turkish Black Sea Coast, however, no officially recognized marine protected areas are available in Turkish waters. Besides, there are two candidate sites to be established as marine protected areas: Kızılırmak Delta (Fig. II.14.4 (1)) and Yeşilırmak Delta (Fig. II.14.4 (2)). Basin management and ecosystem approach can be easily applied for both sites. Both areas contain freshwater, terrestrial and marine habitats. Therefore, the status of present wetlands and protected areas which have a marine coastline is planned to be expanded to include Black Sea coastal waters and to provide the Turkish coast with real integrated coastal zone management for its sustainable development.

Ukraine is rich in wetlands, including rivers, lakes, ponds, reservations, limans, saline lakes, marshes, peat bogs, floodplains and swamp forests. Approximately 5.3 % of Ukraine is covered by wetlands, 3.8 % of them are wet meadows. Total area of marine protected area of Ukraine, that includes main part of the coastal wetlands, is about 261 thousands ha. Protected aquatic area is about 61% (1588 km2).The biggest protected areas are: Danube Biosphere Reserve (46403 ha) where 950 species of plant and more than 5000 species of animals were registered, Black Sea Biosphere Reserve (> 100000 ha; 851 plant and 4832 animals species), Azov-Syvash National Nature Park (57400 ha; 308 plant and > 5000 animals species), Karadagsky Nature Reserve (2874 ha; 2782 plant and 3816 animals species). The nomination of this protected area was aimed at conservation, reproduction and rehabilitation of its relic endemic and rare species and landscapes, at maintenance of ecological balance and regulated recreational use of the reserves natural resources. This areas is referred as to a piece of pristine Nature with special healing potential.

II.16. ICZM: Progress in the Implementation of ICZM (National reporting)
II.16.1. 15 Years of ICZM in the Black Sea Region
This section was prepared by E. Antonidze (Chairman of ICZM Advisory Group of the Commission on the Protection of the Black Sea Against Pollution), Kuban State University, Krasnodar, Russian Federation.
Introduction
Black Sea (BS) coastal zone covers territories of coastal administrative units of Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine. Naturally the Black Sea coast is bordered by a high mountain range on the north-east (Caucasus) and south (Kackar, etc.) and wide valleys on the north and west. Big rivers fall into the sea (Danube, Dniepr, Dniestr, Don and Kuban). The influence of the last two rivers on the sea basin is indirect through the relatively isolated Azov Sea. The mountains are covered with forest and semi-forest vegetation, large areas are under shrubs. The plains on the northern part of the coast are under artificially cultivated steppes.
The Black Sea coastal zone is rich with natural and historic sights. Specially protected areas of different types preserve lakes and limans, which are habitats for many transmigrating birds. Unique steppes and mountain forests with large variety of rare and endemic species of flora and fauna are present. There are archaeological and historic monuments of antique and Byzantine times, of Middle ages and New times. In all Black sea countries the coastal zone is well developed.
Management of complex systems requires integrated approach which allows rationally and in a coordinated way to bring together numerous contradicting and overlapping interests. The Black Sea countries have reached a consensus on the necessity of reconstruction of existing management systems in compliance with ICZM principles in the Odessa Declaration (1993), Strategic Action Plan (1996) and in the new Startegic Action Plan for the Protection and Rehabilitation of the Black Sea which was adopted in April 2009 (all published on www.blacksea-commission.org, Table of Legal Documents).
The history of ICZM in the Black Sea region started following the signing of the Convention on the Protection of the Black Sea Against Pollution (Bucharest Convention, 1992). ICZM activities were launched within the Black Sea Environmental Program (BSEP) funded by GEF and jointly managed by UNDP, UNEP, World Bank and European Unions PHARE and TACIS programmes in the period 1993-2007.
In 1993 for the implementation of the ICZM component of the Black Sea Environmental Program an Activity Center on Development of Common Methodologies for ICZM (ICZM Activity Center) was established in Krasnodar (Russian Federation) by order of the Minister of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation and with the support of Black Sea Environment Program (BSEP, 1993-1997, GEF/UNDP). Experts of the Center with support of international consultants initiated the introduction of ICZM principles in the Black Sea region. Relevant activities were carried out within several international projects, such as BSEP (1993-1999), EU TACIS - PHARE/EuropeAid (in three phases: 1995-training, 1998-2000, 2002-2004), Black Sea Ecosystem Recovery Project (BSERP, 2002 - 2007, GEF/UNDP).
During phase I of BSEP (1993-1997) three ICZM Workshops were held with participation of representatives of all Black Sea countries and the Black Sea ICZM network was created. There was a constant exchange of experience, for capacity building specialists were trained (World Bank training on ICZM, Sustainable Development and Sustainable Tourism, Bulgaria, Varna, 1995).
The main achievements of BSEP Phase I were:
- ICZM Activity Center was established with trained staff, a number of consultants were involved in the activity of the Center, equipment was supplied;
- ICZM concept, methodology and tools were presented and distributed at governmental and local levels; authorities and experts were involved in ICZM implementation;
- Guidelines for defining of National Coastal Zone Boundaries were approved, National Boundaries of coastal zones were defined in all 6 countries;
- National ICZM Reports were prepared; the actual situation, problems, priorities in ICZM development were presented;
Based on ICZM National Reports the ICZM Activity Center prepared Report on ICZM in the Black Sea Region. It was the first assessment of this kind in the region. The document was used in preparation of the Black Sea Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (1996) and Strategic Action Plan for the Protection and Rehabilitation of the Black Sea (1996).
Spatial Planning Methodology
Since 1995 the EC has provided technical assistance to BSEP, especially through Phase I and Phase II of the TACIS project (1995, 1997, 1998-2000) and PHARE.. In 1995 a number of training courses and workshops on ICZM, EIA and Ecological Audit were organized for different experts in Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.Under the TACIS umbrella in 1998 - 2000 the following important documents were published:
Policy of Coastal Defense for the Azov and Black Seas (manual for scientists, brochure for managers and booklet for the wider public). All documents were presented at a Russian-Georgian-Ukrainian Workshop in 1999.
Analysis of legislation in ICZM field and proposals on its improvement (for Russia and Ukraine);
Perspectives of Sustainable Tourism Development (special research was implemented for the Russian resort Gelendzhik and Ukrainian resort Malaya Yalta);
Coastal Code of Conduct for the Azov and Black Seas (developed for Russia and Ukraine based on the experience of the European Coastal Code of Conduct);
Solid Wastes Management in Coastal Zones;
Methodology of Spatial Planning for the Coastal Zones;
The Black Sea ICZM Activity Center benefitted very much from international experience, its experts were provided with additional training in 1998-2000 during a Study Tour in the Netherlands and Great Britain.
Implementation of ICZM principles and instruments attained special significance after the adoption of the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Spatial Development of Europe (30 January 2002) based on recommendation of the Committee of Ministers to Member States of the European Union:
5. Coastal and island regions
58. Europes coastal regions are not only sensitive natural heritage areas but also important focuses of economic and commercial activities, prime locations for industry and energy conversion, a starting point for the exploitation of maritime and underwater resources and particularly attractive areas for tourism.
59. Since such a range of activities in coastal strips can generate numerous conflicts, an integrated and sustainable spatial development policy, covering not only the coastal strip but also the hinterland, is essential for such regions. The concept of the integrated management of coastal areas is intended to take into account the interaction between economic activities and social and environmental requirements when making use of natural resources in coastal areas and hence facilitate the decision-making process in assessing investments. Integrated coastal management should be a systematic component of regional planning at the various levels concerned. Cross-border and transnational co-operation beyond the sea are of particular importance in this respect.
Main objective of the BS Methodology for Spatial Planning in Coastal Zones is the elaboration of a balanced, integrated and sustainable development plan. The aim of balance is achieved when two contradictory issues are resolved simultaneously: land use area zoning, with its normative and legal basis for further development, and allocation of social and economic development areas, taking into account the nature conservation policy as a priority.
Spatial planning is aimed at the recovery and conservation of nature potential together with securing the rights of the local population for a better existence. It requires systematic assessments of the state of natural components (air, water resources, flora, fauna, etc.) as well as that of potential anthropogenic effects on the environment stemming from alternative models of land use at certain economic and social conditions. Based on the assessments, best land use options can be selected and adopted. Therefore, ecosystem assessment is a major instrument in ICZM Spatial Planning. giving a detailed overview of the natural resources, their use, importance and vulnerability. The importance and vulnerability are assessed on a scale from one to three. The following definitions are used:
- Natural Component Importance Combined properties of the natural component identifying its importance to preserve the qualities and features aimed at being used in accordance with its target function. Scale 1 low, 2 - average, 3 - high
- Natural Component Target Function - Main function of the natural component in the general natural system.
- High Importance Natural Component - Natural component with very high importance identifying the necessity to take strong measures aimed at preservation of its features and qualities (3 points).
- Low Importance Natural Component - Natural component which could be used for the economic development with possible change of its features and qualities. (1 point)
- Natural Component Vulnerability Changeability of natural component features and qualities under the influence of external factors. Scale 1 - low, 2 - average, 3 - high
- High Vulnerability Natural Component - Highly vulnerable natural component, its features and qualities can be changed severely by minor influence of external factors. (3 points)
- Low Vulnerability Natural Component Natural component highly resistant to external influence. It can be additionally loaded without strong change of its features and qualities. (1 point)
The principal stages within Functional zoning are given in Figure 1.
Based on the Spatial Planning Methodology two ICZM pilot projects were implemented for the resorts Malaya Yalta (Ukraine, Azov Sea coast) and Gelendzhik (Russia, Black Sea coast) in 1998-2000 withinTACIS project, and proposals for development of spatial plans were prepared. Assessment of importance and sensitivity of natural components (water, soil, vegetation, fauna, sea environment) was carried out, natural and administrative restrictions for land use were identified, ecological and inter-sectoral conflicts were revealed and solutions were proposed. Based on this research, a strategy for sustainable tourism was developed for the recreational zone of Malaya Yalta and Gelendzhik Resort. The TACIS pilot projects revealed the advantages and disadvantages of the Methodology and later it was improved within the framework of the EuropeAid project (2002 - 2004). Based on the adjusted Methodology another Pilot project for the Gelendzhik Resort was implemented. The Scheme of Functional Zoning for the Gelendzhik Resort is given in Figure 2.
Figure II.16.1.1. Stages within Functional Zoning
Figure II.16.1.2. Scheme of Functional Zoning for the Resort Gelendzhik
Results of this work have been highly commended and decision was taken to improve Methodology taking into account lessons learned. One of the components within the next EuropeAid project Technical Assistance to the Black Sea Environmental Program (2002 - 2004) included the development of the following documents:- Black Sea Regional ICZM Strategy and Action Plan;
- Guidelines For Preparation of National Codes of Conduct For Coastal Zones of Black Sea States;
- ICZM Tools and Techniques (Best practices);
- Methodology of Spatial Planning for Coastal zones;
- ICZM Pilot Project in Gelendzhik;
- Glossary of ICZM Legal Terms;
- Legislative improvement and distribution.
All documents mentioned above, as well as the detailed description of the ICZM Pilot Project for the Gelendzhik Resort can be found on the web-site of the Commission on the Protection of the Black Sea Against Pollution http://www.blacksea-commission.org in the section of the ICZM Advisory Group.
The Experience derived from 10-years of work was utilized and developed further within the framework of the UNDP-GEF Black Sea Ecosystem Recovery Project (BSERP) 2002 - 2007. There was a series of ICZM-related activities supported/implemented within BSERP.
Black Sea ICZM Strategy
Draft Regional Black Sea Strategy on ICZM was developed by the ICZM Activity Center with a technical support from the EuropeAid Project Technical Assistance to the Black Sea Environmental Program. The Black Sea Commission approved the Strategy during its 11th Meeting (November 2004). The Commission decided to commence official consultations in the Contracting Parties at the inter-ministerial level.
A Comparative Analysis between the Draft Regional Black Sea ICZM Strategy and the EU Policies has been prepared in 2005 by BSERP. As a follow-up, in support to the national consultations process for the adoption of the Draft ICZM Regional Strategy a Questionnaire on National Comments on the ICZM related Articles of the BS SAP and the Draft Regional ICZM Strategy was developed.
After analysis of national comments the following conclusions were made:
- Legal framework and management instruments, as well as inter-sectoral committees are needed in all Black Sea countries to facilitate ICZM implementation;
- Romania is the only Black Sea Country where legal framework and management instruments, as well as inter-sectoral committees have been developed and enforced;
- ICZM Guidelines are needed and they have to be developed in a separate document/set of documents;
- The Black Sea ICZM Strategic Action Plan should be incorporated in the overall Black Sea Strategic Action Plan;
- ICZM Protocol to the Black Sea Convention should be developed and adopted;
ICZM Pilot Project in Turkey (2007)
Another ICZM Pilot Project was realized in 2007 with support of BSERP by specialists of the Istanbul Technical University. The main task of this project was again testing the BS Methodology on Spatial Planning for Coastal Zones, but in Turkey. Akakoca municipality was chosen as a pilot region (Black Sea coast of Turkey).
This testing of the Methodology highlighted its potential and benefits as well as some critical conditions, limitations or constraints in implementation in Turkey. They were as follows:
- The lack of national strategy and development plan for coastal areas has hindered the realization of ICZM in Turkey;
- Insufficient data on coastal marine environment;
- For successful implementation the project needed longer period than the provided 6 months.
Besides, the implementation of the Pilot Project in Akakoca contributed to increasing the awareness of stakeholders from the national to local levels. Overall evaluation of this study showed that the Methodology on Spatial Planning had a great potential in outlining the multi-dimensional structure of the coastal zone management, in describing the conflicting interests and in developing of an integrated management model.
Figure II.16.1.3. Functional Zoning of Akakoca District

During the evaluation process different zones of Akakoca region were identified:
K: the most developed area.
A: area with predominance of agriculture, forestry, recreation and tourism.
B: area of agriculture and forestry.
C: highly dense rural settlements; area of agriculture and natural tourism.
D: area of coastal tourism and recreation supported by agriculture, forestry and transportation.
E: area of agriculture and forestry. Area of intersectoral conflict agriculture - forestry.
F: area is not suitable for the human activities; environmental protection and forestry are recommended.
G: forestry is recommended for this area.
H: area with the soil affected by agricultural activities. Forestry and environmental protection combined with soil improvement activities are recommended.
The study revealed main conflicts between different land-uses, general social and economic trends, and general behaviour model of the Akakoca inhabitants. It was obvious that the existing conflicts could not be solved in the short term. The project team recommended to carry out further longer-term study to discuss alternative and sustainable ways of the district development, certain social programs, training activities, etc. for the local authorities and stakeholders. The latter activities were proposed to stimulate public awareness of inhabitants as an essential part of ICZM.
The Methodology was tested also within the new EU (TACIS) Project on Environmental Collaboration for the Black Sea (2006-2009). ICZM Pilot Project was realized in Georgia in Tskhaltsminda village, a coastal community of Supsa municipality, District of Landskhuti in the Region of Guria. The Project was focused on two main goals:
testing assumption of ICZM strategy at the local level and facilitating sustainable coastal community development in Tskhaltsminda village;
development of ICZM Spatial Plan for the Tskhaltsminda village.
The spatial planning methodology has proven its value in Tskhaltminda , Georgia as in previous pilot projects. It was successfully used for conflicts resolution and illustration of opportunities for the village development.
Feasibility Study on ICZM Instrument to the Bucharest Convention
It was recognised that the definition of legal provisions for ICZM in the Black Sea region was an area requiring special attention from the Contracting Parties of the Bucharest Convention. A feasibility study for an ICZM protocol to the Convention was undertaken (financially supported by BSERP). The study was based also on evaluation of experience in preparation of ICZM protocol by other regional seas conventions. The objectives developed (Vinogradov S., 2007) were as follows:
- To provide an overview of all existing documents relevant to coastal zone management in the Black Sea at national and international levels;
- To make use of the experiences of other Conventions, in particular in the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas;
- To evaluate the implementation of the existing protocols to the Bucharest Convention;
- To demonstrate whether a legally binding instrument to the existing convention will be helpful and/or sufficient to meet the objectives of the ICZM regional strategy, to assure better coastal management in the Black Sea countries;
- To identify and assess at least 3 options for an ICZM document;
- To identify and justify the most feasible solution.
After a comprehensive analysis, a two-step approach was recommended:
- Short-medium term (next 2-5 years) - adoption and implementation of the suggested combination of ICZM instruments: ICZM Declaration, Code of Practice and Action Plan.
- Long-term (5-10 years) elaboration of an ICZM protocol to the Bucharest Convention.
Black Sea Commission ICZM Advisory Group
The Black Sea Commission (BSC) is the inter-governmental organization responsible for the implementation of the Convention for the Protection of the Black Sea Against Pollution (Bucharest Convention), its four Protocols and Strategic Action Plan, aiming at preserving the Black Sea ecosystem as a valuable natural endowment of the region, whilst ensuring the protection of its marine and coastal living resources as a condition for sustainable development of the Black Sea coastal states, well-being, health and security of their population. The Permanent Secretariat of the BSC started functioning in 2000. One of its subsidiary bodies is the ICZM Advisory Group, which actively supports the ICZM activities of the BSC. The group is responsible for the annual ICZM report of the BSC (published on www.blacksea-commission.org, without public access for the moment), submitting also regularly data on the state of the coast and development of ICZM in the Black Sea states. The reported annually data covers development of policy/legislation, projects and different ICZM indicators in the fields and sectors of: Population and Geography, Energy, Water and wastewater, Biodiversity, Coastal erosion, Economy, Tourism, Soild waste management, Agriculture, Industry, Transport and Climate.
The ICZM AG accepted in 2007 to measure the implementation of ICZM in the Black Sea region using the Progress Marker Set (http://www.eucc.net/en/policy/index.htm), elaborated by EUCC-the Coastal Union. The results of the investigation were published in the SAP Implementation report of the BSC 2002-2007 (www.blacksea-commission.org) showing good progress in the region during the last 5 years in coastal planning/management and development of legal/policy framework for ICZM at the national level, reflected in more sustainable use of the Black Sea coasts and resources of coastal waters.
The economic and environmental situation in the Black Sea region is associated with certain problems but also with a great variety of possibilities for development. The Bucharest Convention laid the grounds for the implementation of ICZM in the Black Sea Region. Integrated Coastal Zone Management is also recognised in the new Strategic Action Plan for the rehabilitation and Protection of the Black Sea (adopted in April 2009) as the main instrument to achieve sustainable development in the region through the involvement of all stakeholders.
Based on 15 years of experience, we can now measure not only the accomplishments in ICZM, but also to outline the next steps to be undertaken. The Black Sea states showed considerable progress in coastal planning and management leading to more sustainable use of the coastal zone. However, stronger political support is needed for the ICZM process and long-term financial commitment. Crucial step should be the development or further development of ICZM legislation at the Black Sea national and regional levels. New ICZM pilot projects should be initiated, as they offer unique opportunities for enhancing ICZM expertise using and improving the available BS spatial planning methodology and ICZM strategy. Information exchange on best available practices should be more actively pursued in the region. The region should also agree on and use regularly a coherent system of indicators for an integral assessment of the Black Sea coastal zones state and implementation of ICZM.

[1] Population of Dzoubga is 5,200 people. WWTP exists and complies with Existing standards
[2] Bulgaria and Turkey do not report on dumping
[3] Draft ICZM legislation prepared but not under formal consultation yet.
[4] Kolkheti National Park (KNP) legislation enacted in 1999 (but not yet enforced in its entirety).
[5] Shoreline management strips delimited (and approved); General Scheme for the Black Sea Coast of Georgia developed (but not approved yet).
[6] ICZM State Consultative Commission established by Presidential Decree (but irregular meetings; no decision-making power).
[7] ICZM State Consultative Commission abolished (ICZM Working Group reactivated, but still at inception stage).
[8] Kolkheti National Park (KNP) Advisory Council established in 2005 (irregular meetings; no decision-making power, only advisory and consultative role).
[9] Preparation of the statutory KNP management plan initiated with substantial spatial planning/zoning component ( of Georgian CZ).
[10] Kolkheti Protected Areas (KPA) (KNP and Kobuleti Nature Reserve/KNR) management plans approved by the Ministry of Environment.
[11] Local zoning plans prepared for several coastal settlements but not yet approved statutorily (Kobuleti, Batumi, Poti).
[12] WB/GEF funded Georgia ICM Project (GICMP) appraised (1999) and implementation completed (2007).
[13] GICMP finalized; small scale ICZM funding bridged by EU project ICZM component.
[14] GICMP included component for Kolkheti wetlands establishment and management which can be considered as a regional initiative.
[15] Small community grant scheme was developed and international funding secured for 30 communities around the Kolkheti protected areas.
[16] EU funded project ICZM component provides certain minor resources for the local ICZM pilot project (Tskaltsminda).
[17] National ICZM Report prepared in 1996.
[18] ICZM component of GICMP undertook socio-economic assessment and other stocktaking tasks for Georgias coastal zone management.
[19] KNP stakeholder analysis undertaken.
[20] ICZM Demonstration projects implemented in Kobuleti (combining community development, beach management and coastal/wetland interpretation).
[21] National ICZM Policies and Strategies document prepared, certain strategic actions implemented but others remain pending.
[22] ICZM Policy note and ICZM Work Program prepared and submitted for consideration of high level decision-makers / National Coastal Strategy is under preparation.
[23] ICZM Guidelines prepared and endorsed by the Minister of Environment but implementation is at early stage of development.
[24] Kolkheti Wetlands management planning guidelines produced and implemented (Georgia joined Ramsar Convention, established KNP).
[25] National ICZM Focal Point designated.
[26] ICZM Centre established in charge of implementing GICMP project.
[27] ICZM Centre dissolved. National ICZM Focal Point remains designated. Reportedly Monitoring and Prognosis Center has ICZM staff with certain experience.
[28] Adjara Department of Natural Resources designated ICZM personnel, functions are yet limited. KNP administration could be considered as in charge of Kolkheti coast.
[29] Regional Black Sea Action Plan signed, Georgia joined Ramsar Convention and designated Kolkheti wetlands, Georgia ICZM Program initiated.
[30] Due to certain coastal developments and changes in the Governments policy directions support to integrated management approaches dwindled and remains subdued.
[31] Annual national reports are being prepared for Black Sea Commission. ICZM progress indicator tool was adopted as well and national reporting initiated.
[32] Despite several drawbacks Kolkheti protected areas are functioning and contributing to improved protection of coastal resources.
