Coastal Management Centre
Description
The Med Coastal Management Clearing House has been launched by the Priority Actions Programme Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC) of UNEP-MAP. The main goal of launching this site, which has been built with financial support of the European Commission, is to improve information on the Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) in the Mediterranean.
Clearing House is a term deriving from financial circles, meaning an establishment maintained by banks for settling mutual claims and accounts. Today, this term has a broad meaning indicating an informal channel for providing information or assistance. Lately, it has been particularly spread in environmental protection field. In this context, the Mediterranean ICAM Clearing House represents a place where information on the coastal management in the Mediterranean is exchanged, and where ICAM can be defined as an adaptive process or resource management aiming to achieve a sustainable development in coastal areas.
The Med ICAM Clearing House offers information on the projects related to coastal management, and performed in the Mediterranean region in the last decade. If you are looking for an expert experienced in coastal management, or in some other related field, or an expert with relevant experience in a particular region, area, or project; or if you are an expert or a practitioner who would like to expand contacts, Experts Register is a place for you.
