“…Knowledge on the local coastal systems can be improved by taking into consideration diverse activities that take place in the coastal environment [303]. Some examples of ICZM initiatives in the coastal Mediterranean have been provided in [304]. The vision of EU for a common framework for MSP and ICZM will be extremely valuable for the MS.…”

Abstract:In this work, an extended overview of the marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean Sea is provided as regards current status, potential problems, challenges, and perspectives of development. An integrated and holistic approach is necessary for the economic viability and sustainability of marine renewable energy projects; this approach comprises three different frameworks, not always aligned, i.e., geotechnical/engineering, socio-economic, and environmental/ ecological frameworks. In this context, the geomorphological, climatological, socio-economic, and environmental/ecological particularities of the Mediterranean basin are discussed, as they constitute key issues of the spatial context in which marine renewable energy projects are to be implemented. General guidelines for the sustainable development of marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean are also provided.Keywords: marine renewable energy; ocean energy; offshore wind energy; marine spatial planning; Mediterranean Sea; roadmap for marine energy development Key TopicsThe main topics that this paper deals with, can be summarized as follows: •Global status of the different types of marine renewable energy (MRE), i.e., offshore wind, wave, tidal, thermal, and salinity gradients energy conversion:

“…Also in the UK, the lack of a framework to coordinate the implementation of different sectoral policies for the coast has created confusion over responsibilities, thus leaving local authorities with little or no guidance on how to deal with complex issue in an integrated manner (Shipman and Stojanovic, 2007). Moreover, the definition of the spatial scale of coastal phenomenon as well as the discrepancy between the local scale of coastal governance and the complex multi-scale nature of coastal systems remain highly critical aspects to be addressed in ICZM (Soriani et al, 2015). Public participation and stakeholder involvement.…”

“…Forecasting through public participation, an inherent characteristic of the proposed framework, is also important to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed strategies, define alternatives, and optimize policies (Le Gentil & Mongruel, 2015). Public participation in certain phases of the management framework restricts the drawbacks of participatory activities which are often time-and resource-consuming (Le Gentil & Mongruel, 2015;Soriani et al, 2015). The selection of stakeholders', politicians', and public views is also crucial (Le Gentil & Mongruel, 2015), based on appropriately designed questionnaires.…”

“…Moreover, the models facilitate the recognition of interactions among interconnected subsystems driving the behaviour of dynamic systems, by means of causal relationships, feedback loops, delays, and other processes (Banos-González et al, 2015). Dynamic models also represent useful learning tools that enhance system understanding and facilitate involvement of non-technical stakeholders in the decision-making process, a key issue in integrated management (Deboudt, 2012;Le Gentil & Mongruel, 2015;Perez-Cayeiro & Chica-Ruiz, 2015;Soriani et al, 2015;Stojanovic et al, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT:Decision support for island management must be based on quantitative tools able to integrate the natural, economic, and social environment, including the effects of recent climate change. In this context, a decision support framework is proposed, characterized by generality and flexibility, to be adapted to the specific characteristics of each island. The framework includes: (a) compilation of existing information and organization in a DPSIR framework; (b) selection of the main economic activities; (c) calculation of environmental, economic, and social indicators through models; (d) development of scenarios for future evolution; and (e) ranking for their preferability using a multicriteria methodology. Scenario development and weighting of indicators and criteria can be based on stakeholders' and public views collected through questionnaires. The proposed framework is applied to a 'typical' fictitious Mediterranean island where tourism, services, and low-rate agriculture are the main economic activities. Mid-and long-term (including climate change) scenario analyses are performed as an exercise with three scenarios expressing different policies in terms of economic and environmental priorities. Advantages and limitations of the proposed framework for real-world applications are discussed.
