Evaluation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in Europe – Final Report
4.6 The Black Sea
Three EU-acceding/candidate countries have a coast with the Black
Sea: Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey. Until now only one Outline
Strategy has been submitted by Romania that is forming the basis of
a National ICZM Strategy and has been presented to the Romanian
Parliament for approval. The Bulgarian evaluation has been based on
ancillary official documentation. Information regarding coastal zone
management in Turkey has been based on ancillary public information
since no National Report, or any other official documentation has
been submitted by the relevant Turkish authorities.

4.6.1 Coastal Zones and Major Coastal Issues
The Black Sea country evaluations highlight commonalities and
opportunities for their coastal zones. Main coastal issues include

loss, saltwater intrusion, over-settlement, lack of law enforcement and
mass tourism, which are leading to accelerated, non-sustainable
pressures to the coastal zone.
Other regional issues include non-sustainable fisheries and agriculture,
and land-use conflicts coming from intensive manufacturing and
services industrial activities (such as shipyards, mineral extraction
and energy generating plants) along the coast, marine pollution and
