Whereas, notwithstanding public participation, public authorities have the primary responsibility for the implementation of ICZM
Considering the ecological status of marine pollution, 80% if which is from land-based sources Considering the drift of islands of waste in every ocean (including Pacific and Atlantic) Considering the challenges for the protection of coastal and marine biodiversity
Considering the technological risks that coastal and marine areas are subject to, including pollution from land and marine sources
Considering the hazards, characteristics of these areas, including the risks of evolution of the coastline and flooding

- Developing a culture of ICZM from all stakeholders, including local
II- A set of objectives for ICZM
Public policy on ICZM should be based on:
A - Knowledge
Given the stakes and the complexity of coastal and marine ecosystems will be knowledge on transboundary coastal ecosystems will be developed.
Referring to the creation in 2009 of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre for Conservation of Nature (www.wdpa-marine.org):
Regional Observatories will be created in 5 years
B - A set of objectives
Based on regional and / or interstate relevant priorities, objectives will be...
