1. Background and objectives of MEDCOAST Institute
 
 

MEDCOAST Institute is a three-week long intensive training program on integrated coastal management. The curriculum of MEDCOAST Institute is specially designed to address issues and problems, which are particular to or significant for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
 
 

MEDCOAST Institute 98 is the fourth successive program, which has been organized annually since 1994. Twenty-five participants representing sixteen countries enrolled in the 94 Institute.

The other groups, in decreasing order of priority are employees of coastal municipalities, non-governmental environmental organizations, universities and research centers.
 
 

MEDCOAST Institute 98, was organized by the MEDCOAST Secretariat between 25 August - 11 September 1998, in Ankara, Marmaris/Fethiye Coast and Cappadocia - Turkey. Twenty-two participants selected from over 100 applications, and representing Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, Georgia, Israel Malta, Morocco, Russia, and Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, started MEDCOAST Institute 98, and twenty-one participants completed the program.

The list of faculty members who contributed to MEDCOAST Institute 98, and the Faculty roster of all four MEDCOAST Institutes are given as Annex 2.
 
 

2. Program
 
 

The program of MEDCOAST Institute 98 consisted of three parts:
 
 

* A week long in-class training including lectures by the faculty on various topics related to ICM in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and presentations by participants, and group exercises, held in the attractive campus of the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara (25 - 28 August).
 
 

* A week long study trip and field observations on two traditional wooden boats sailing along the coast from Marmaris to Fethiye (Ölü Deniz), and anchoring at locations of significant coastal conservation and/or development activities for observations, applied research and interviews with various actors of coastal management (29 August - 5 September).
 
 

* A week long concluding workshop with "hands on" training, including lectures by the faculty on topics relevant to the field trip, presentations by the participants on their field observations, group discussion sessions, and a half-day long "simulation game" on an ICM scenario based on field observations held at Kaya Hotel - Club Mediterranée in Cappadocia (6 - 11 September)
 
 

The programs of the in-class activities, and the field trip are given as Annex 3.
 
 

The following topics were studied by the participants during the field trip:

  1. Coastal values, uses and issues at national and regional levels (The Black Sea, Eastern Mediterranean, Adriatic and Southern Mediterranean) (Group work).
  2. Presentations of participants on national coastal management issues and practices (Group work).
  3. Sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean and Black Sea (Group discussion)
  4. Management plan for Dalyan Specially Protected Area (Group discussion)
