Coastal Crisis: The Failure of Coastal Management in the Spanish Mediterranean Region
Authors:J L Suárez de Vivero  J C Rodríguez Mateos
Institution:Department of Human Geography University of Seville , Seville, Spain
Abstract:It is a fact that coastal zones in the Mediterranean are becoming progressively more seriously degraded. Instrumental to the phenomenon in Spain is the evident failure of the coastal management that the institutions have pursued for over three decades, both under the old, state-centralized model, and the new organizational model with the political division of land into autonomous regions. This failure can in part be explained not only by the inadequate tools the administration possesses to address the dynamism and complexity of the new economic activities that have sprung up along the coast, but also by incoherent sectoral policies. Finally, there has been no all-encompassing political strategy capable of dealing with coastal communities' demands for development and the need for the protection of ecosystems and their natural resources. All this has resulted not only in a deterioration of the area, but also in the discrediting of actions implemented by the institutions, and their plans and programs being perceived as an obstacle to economic development.
Keywords:coastal crisis  Integrated Coastal Management  New Coastal Economy  Spanish Mediterranean littoral
