This Report on the Implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Germany (National ICZM Report) has been drawn up in response to the request made in February 2010 by the European Commission, when it invited the EU’s coastal Member States to provide up-to-date overviews of the progress achieved in the implementation of ICZM during the period from 2006 to 2010 on the basis of the guidelines issued by the Commission for this purpose.
