This paper discusses marine governance experiences from the Eastern Mediterranean, an area characterized by great complexities in spatial and governance terms. In particular, the paper examines experiences drawn from two research projects where multi-level and cross-sectoral governance schemes were tested as a side procedure to maritime spatial planning (MSP). The case studies represent highly complex marine environments (with great insularity, extended coastlines, formation of gulfs, etc.), where an unusually high number of national and local stakeholders are involved. Following the lessons learnt, the paper argues that (1) local governments (regions and municipalities) should have a more meaningful involvement in the MSP process that is currently a task mainly addressed by central government, and (2) certain competencies and licensing of marine activities and infrastructure can be transferred to the local governments. This paper also argues that MSP should also be performed at the local scale, where planning has a more regulatory nature and land–sea interactions can be addressed. Useful steps to achieve the above are as follows: (a) establishment of (regional) networks engaging coastal and insular regions and municipalities sharing the same (local) sea in the MSP process, and (b) establishment of local stakeholder networks having the same agendas and priorities at sea. Engaging regional and municipal authorities, as well as local stakeholders in a more fundamental way, is of paramount importance because at this (local) level, citizen science and ocean literacy prevail and can be of great use to the MSP process.

Socio-economic risk assessment of the setback zone in beaches threatened by sea level rise induced retreat (Peloponnese coast- Eastern Mediterranean)

Beaches play a pivotal role in supporting the socio-economic sector, particularly within the 'Sun, Sea, and Sand' (3S) tourism model. Valued for their ecosystem services, these coastal landforms are among the most dynamic and vulnerable environments, facing significant pressure from various climate challenges, which is further intensified by extensive anthropic exploitation. Their sustainable use is intrinsically linked to balancing the 3Ps: Planet, People, and Profit. To address the need for protection and sustainable utilization of coastal areas, the European Union has introduced the Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in the Mediterranean, specifically recommending in Article 8(2) the establishment of a setback buffer zone where permanent constructions are prohibited. This paper explores the application of risk mapping in the context of coastal setback policies, focusing on their effectiveness in managing beach retreat and adapting to climate change, particularly rising sea levels. The study examines selected beach areas in Peloponnese, Greece, influenced by various socio-economic factors. Through this analysis, the paper aims to contribute to the discourse on coastal management strategies that balance environmental sustainability with socio-economic benefits.
