Getting Involved

To achieve effective integration of coastal plans and policies, all coastal stakeholders must be involved in and understand the importance of the ICZM process. In practice, this means not only government or those with regulatory powers but everyone who uses or has an influence upon the coast and its resources.

The Coastal and Marine Forum will be launching several initiatives to improve appreciation and understanding of Northern Ireland’s coastal resources among the population.

One of the great strengths of the strategy is the wide range and number of people and organisations who were,and continue to be, involved in its preparation and ongoing development.
