SMP/ICZM

Shoreline Management Planning/Integrated Coastal Zone Management (SMP/ICZM): 'A process of governance that consists of the legal and institutional framework necessary to ensure that development and management plans for coastal zones are integrated with environmental and social goals and are made with the participation of those affected. The purpose of SMP/ICZM is to maximise the benefits provided by the coastal zone and to minimise the conflicts and harmful effects of activities upon each other, on resources and on the environment'


Shoreline Management Plan

According to the Water Resources Law No 12/1984 and the Environmental Law No 4/1994 the shores are protected by a preliminary 200 m wide Set-Back Zone. No erection of buildings is allowed within the Set-Back Zone without prior approval by SPA and EEAA. According to the same Water Resource Law a final Set-Back Zone shall be determined by the concerned authorities. No building can be erected in the final Set-back Zone.

• The SMP is a policy document defining the final Set-Back Line and the policy to be applied to the management of the shores

• The SMP takes into account other existing planning

initiatives and legislative requirements intending to serve as an instrument for strategic planning. It considers objectives, policy setting and management requirements for a long-term epoch of 100 years

• The SMP demonstrates that management decisions made today are not detrimental to the achievement of a long-term vision for the shores, even though the vision may change with time. The SMP is an integrated part for the wider Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM).


Shoreline Management Policies

The policy framework for the shoreline management should be based on the following generic shoreline management policies, after overriding drivers[1] have been identified and agreed upon and zoning of the SMP Zone has been elaborate by the Coastal Group including final determination of the Set-back Line (defined in Law No. 12/1984 and Law No. 4/1994) according to Law No. 12/1984:

(i) Hold the shoreline: maintain or upgrade the level of protection provided by present coastal structures

(ii)Advance the shoreline: build new costal structures seaward existing shoreline and/or perform beach nourishment

(iii)Manage the alignment: allow retreat of the shoreline with monitoring and, if appropriate, management to limit or control movement

(iii)No active intervention: a decision not to invest in providing or maintaining defences

[1]Overriding driver, definition in SMP: special feature of common interest to society, e.g. a road, a special landscape overriding all other interests


Definition of SMP Zone and ICZM Zone

The beach works as the first barrier towards the sea and if well managed with access to sand it will follow the rise of sea level and will

remain unchanged as a primary protection

Organization of the SMP Process

A Coastal Group (CG) comprising representatives of the key stakeholders:

• Governorate of Matrouh

• Egyptian Environmental Affairs Authority (EEAA)

• Tourist Development Authority (TDA)

• General Organisation for Physical Planning, Ministry of Housing

• Shore Protection Authority (SPA), Secretary of CG


Key roles of Coastal Group

• To agree and prioritise the issues and objectives to

be dealt with by the SMP;

• To resolve disputes and agree on the policies to be

contained within draft SMP;

• To develop and elaborate a Policy Framework for

Sustainable Shoreline Management in the Coastal

Governorates;

Conclusions

• SMP/ICZM process takes time and is complicated due to conflicting

interests of many stakeholders. Egypt not experienced in integrated

and participatory stakeholder approach.

• The SMP process (Coastal Group) will automatically define the need

for data and studies during the course of the process (not visa

versa).

• Without access to Best Available Technology (BAT) and data …no

process.

• Organisation/institution/legal conditions are in place in Egypt. No

need for new institutions.

• Capability/capacity not sufficiently developed yet in Egypt for

managing the entire SMP/ICM Process at required high technical

level


Recommendations support to good Governance

• UNDP formulates a general Climate Change Adaptation

Programme for the Region aiming at supporting Agencies in the individual Countries in good governance related to the adaptation to the Climate Change induced sea level rise. • Each country can apply the programme for support conditioned

that the results are disseminated and shared with other countries from the region on workshops • Egypt (SPA/CoRI/etc) should apply such UNDP CCA Programme for

support to initiates the SMP process for the Delta area according to the SMP Guidelines developed by SPA. Do not wait any longer for detailed Policies and Strategies - Jump start the SMP process according to the Guidelines …….. and the process will automatically unfold the right compromises……. and good governance is just ahead
