The Malta Environment and Planning Authority has joined forces with environmental and planning agencies, universities and research institutes from a number of countries, together with the European Topic Centre on Terrestrial Environment, to work on the implementation of coastal zone management.

The project, entitled Deduce, is part-funded by the EU through its Interreg 3C programme. It has a total budget of €1.6 million, of which Mepa was allocated €219,255 for its input over two- and-a-half years.

A set of 27 sustainability indicators related to integrated coastal zone management will be calculated. The partners are developing a methodological framework to calculate these indicators and identify their application at different levels of decision-making: European, national, and local.

A series of regional workshops are being organised in the partner countries and Malta is expected to host one later this year.

More information about the project is available at www.mepa.org.mt.
