Maritime and coastal spatial planning and law

Objectives

• Familiarization with Maritime and Coastal Planning Concepts such as: Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), Integrated Coastal Zone
• Management (ICZM));
• Acquire knowledge on European and international legal framework on MS and ICZM
• Acquire knowledge on maritime policies for ICZM and maritime spaces;
• Understand the different legal levels and framework for the regulation of maritime spaces and uses.

Program

I - Concepts and Framework

1.1-State of Art:

1.1.1. from terrestrial to Coastal Zone Planning

1.1.2. from MPA s to MSP.

1.2 Principles: Ecosystem Based Management; Adaptive Management; Stakeholder Involvement, Cross Border Cooperation

1.3 Worldwide Experiences

II - Tools and Instruments

2.1. Legal Instruments

2.1.1. MS International Legal Framework: UNCLOS; ABNJ Saebed Authority; The EU Directives

2.1.2. The EU Directives and regulation, the Integrated Maritime Policy

2.1.3. The /CZM Recommendation and the Coastal Zone Management Plans

2.1.4. The /CZM Mediterranean experience

2.2. Planning Instruments

2.2.1. Planning Theory

2.2.2. CZMP specific features

2.2.3. MSP specific features

2.2.4. Monitoring and Evaluation

Teaching Methodologies

The methodologies used are based on expositive methods of theoretical content; Readings, critical analysis and oriented discussion. The teaching method is mainly through presential classroom classes but can co-exist moments of e-learning platform by using moodle to guide discussion of some specific content.
The evaluation will be done through: presentation of individual works. These works are based on analysis and critical appraisal of scientific texts and documents. Participation in discussions, where it is valued the prior preparation and substantiation.
Two "hands on" assignments will be produced based on design and interpretation of zoning schemes of coastal zone management plans and the Portuguese maritime Spatial Plan
