 Activity 1: Evaluation of ICZM administrative schemes, indicators, methodologies, decision making process and specific issues in each Project region.

 One common part, analysing ICZM issue in all project regions;  One pilot application focused on Romania, analysing the impact of geological and polluter factors on integrated management. This activity will be subcontracted to an expert company, and the terms of reference will set up an agreed reference format that would allow to collect appropriate data in national inventories.

 Following that format, the subcontractor will draw up reports on ICZM status within each Project region, dealing with: ◦ Institutions / organisations in charge with different ICZM aspects at regional/ national levels; ◦ Methodologies of delimitating the coastal area used at regional/ national levels; ◦ Screening of type of indicators used for classification of the coastal area/beaches by the institutions/organizations responsible; ◦ Decision making process and public consultation procedures; ◦ Significant stakeholders, both from public and private sector; ◦ Sectoral approaches or fragmented tools possible to be integrated; ◦ Challenges and specific issues to each Project region.

 The study will also include a pilot application on Romania coastline comprising: Assessment study of the potential polluters in the Black Sea and qualitative monitoring status on the Romanian Black Sea Sector
