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 99 is the fifth successive program, which has been organized annually since 1994. Twenty-five participants representing sixteen countries enrolled in the 94 Institute. MEDCOAST Institute 95 had the participation of twenty-two professionals from fourteen countries. MEDCOAST Institute 96 trained another twenty-two participants from thirteen countries. 21 participants from 13 countries were present in MEDCOAST Institute 98.

The highest priority target group for participation at the MEDCOAST Institutes are the professionals holding mid-managerial positions in their central governments and being responsible for planning and execution of programs or projects on coastal and marine issues. The other groups, in decreasing order of priority are employees of coastal municipalities, non-governmental environmental organizations, universities and research centers.

MEDCOAST Institute 99, was organized by the MEDCOAST Secretariat between 24 August - 10 September 1999, in Ankara, Marmaris/Fethiye Coast and Dalyan - Turkey. Twelve participants selected from over 100 applications, and representing Albania, Croatia , Israel, Romania, Tunisia, Turkey and Ukraine, completed the MEDCOAST Institute 99 program. The list of participants of MEDCOAST Institute 99, and the alumni roster of all five MEDCOAST Institutes are given in Annex 1.

The list of faculty members who contributed to MEDCOAST Institute 99, and the Faculty roster of all five MEDCOAST Institutes are given as Annex 2.

2. Program

The program of MEDCOAST Institute 99 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 (24 - 27 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 (28 August - 4 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 Keskin Hotel in Dalyan (5 - 10 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:

• Functions of nature
• Coastal tourism, including yacht tourism
• Beaches and beach management
• Water quality management
• Coastal planning and development
• Coastal use conflicts

Discussion sessions were organized on the following topics in Ankara and in Dalyan:

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)
5. Environmental impacts and use conflicts at Sarıgerme-Dalaman coast
6. Functions of nature and environmental function evaluation exercise.
7. Simulation Game

Each participant of the MEDCOAST INSTITUTE received a course file, which contained the lecture notes discussed during the one-week intensive training at METU and six-day long training in Dalyan, several references relevant to the lectures, and information about the field trip.

As the final activity of MEDCOAST Institute 99, the participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire for evaluating the training program. The results of this evaluation are given as Annex 4.

4. Certificate

The MEDCOAST INSTITUTE awarded a CERTIFICATE on Integrated Coastal Management to all twelve participants who successfully completed the course work, the field investigation, and the final workshop.
