Actions
Strategic issues
5.1 Raise awareness and promote ICZM
The Commission should foster the use of all instruments of
information dissemination, including websites, brochures,
posters, promotional videos, etc. Possibilities of promoting
awareness of ICZM through events should also be explored.

The respective publicity and dissemination material should be
prepared with the different stakeholders in mind to explain
ICZM. In this sense, it should be targeted for instance at local
authorities, private sector actors, as well as schools and
universities to develop a broad and long-term awareness.
As a first and least costly step, it is suggested to produce a
comprehensive and high-quality brochure of about 10 pages
summarising the benefits and major impacts of ICZM, based on
good practice examples. This brochure would need to be
translated into the languages of the Coastal Member States and
distributed to decision makers and multipliers such as the
targeted audience mentioned to strengthen the local level. The
production and distribution costs for 50,000 ICZM brochures is
estimated at €250,000, excluding translation costs.
Possibly, synergies could be achieved by combining ICZM
promotion with awareness raising activities in connection with
the EU Marine Strategy.
Implementation Costs: €250.000 (excluding translation costs).
