MEDCOAST 95
THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON THE MEDITERRANEAN COASTAL ENVIRONMENT
24-27 October 1995, Tarragona, Spain
OBJECTIVES & WELCOME
The Mediterranean basin, including the Black Sea, is among the major enclosed seas where rational management of coastal and sea resources, incorporating high levels of protection and regeneration in certain cases, is very strongly needed. The continually increasing level of demand for the limited and stressed resources provides a formidable challenge to bordering countries for rational and sustainable land, water, and resource management and development.
The Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP, 1975) for the protection of the Mediterranean coastal and sea environment became operational with the Barcelona Convention in 1976. For the Black Sea, international collaboration has recently been started through the GEF program with a more up to date perspective. Following the Rio Conference, various initiatives, within the organization of the MAP and elsewhere, have also been put forward for transforming the MAP perspective from "protection" to "sustainable development", by building up the "Agenda 21 for the Mediterranean". Parallel to these international efforts, various Mediterranean and Black Sea countries have already started (or are about to start) their integrated coastal zone management programs.
The First International Conference on the Mediterranean Coastal Environment, MEDCOAST 93, which was held in Antalya, Turkey during 2-5 November 1993, started a new conference series to provide a forum for discussions and information exchange among various sectors, and nations, on issues related to management of the Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal and sea areas. Participants from 26 countries actively took part in the conference activities, and presented over 100 paper contributions. The conference was sponsored and supported by 20 organizations, including many prominent international bodies concerned with coastal and sea issues. The MEDCOAST 93 was a big success, proving that the initiative was indeed very timely and needed.
Preparations for the second conference of the series, are very satisfactorily progressing. It is already certain that the MEDCOAST 95 will enjoy a greater number of sponsors and participants, and will highly supersede the success of the 93 event! It will bring together a wide variety of experts, scientists, managers, planners, policy makers, resource developers, users and conservationists from both the Mediterranean basin and elsewhere, who have been directly involved in coastal and sea management in the Mediterranean or have acquired experience and knowledge on matters which are relevant to the Mediterranean. Keynote addresses, papers, presentations, discussions and exhibits, will provide a wealth of information and material about the environmental health of the Mediterranean & the Black Sea, and their coastal areas.
We look forward to an exciting and enjoyable conference in the highly attractive, historical Mediterranean town of Tarragona! Anyone, who is concerned with the Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal and sea areas, are welcomed to participate and to contribute...

The futures of the Mediterranean Co-operation
This workshop, organized by International Center for Coastal and Ocean Policy Studies (Genova, Italy) will discuss international co-operation for sustainable development of the coastal and sea areas of the Mediterranean during the next phase of Mediterranean Action Plan. The workshop is a follow up of various earlier efforts by ICCOPS on this topic.
PUBLICATIONS
MEDCOAST 95 Proceedings will be available to the participants at the time of the coference as a part of the registration fee. It is plannet to publish a number of selected papers, after peer review, ina special volume of the Journal of Ocean and Coastal Management.
COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS
A commercial exhibition of sustainable coastal and ocean resource management and related facilities, products, systems, and services, will be held in conjunction with MEDCOAST 95. Participation by public and private agencies is welcome and encouraged.
A limited number of stands will be placed in a parallel way jointly to the Conference rooms and Coffee-break area. Publishers and Editors willing to display their publications will have available by request book dispayers within the Commercial Exhibit area.

Guided visit to the Vallbona, Santes Creus and Poblet Monasteries, including a tasteful typical local meal. The Cistercian Order, whose influence arrived to the Tarragona area on the XII century, was founded at the Monastery of Citeaux in Bourgogne. A well preserved prove of the importance of this influence during the Middle Age are the Santes Creus (1150), Poblet (1151) and Vallbona (1175) Monasteries.
Guided visit to the Ebro delta, including a boat trip to the river mouth and an Ebro delta regional meal. The Ebro delta defined as natural park in 1983, with an area of 320 sq.km., is the second largest Spanish aquatic environment. Its variety of different types of environments, mild and humid climate and rain variations, etc. provide conditions favourable to a local wide range of vegetation and fauna.
Guided visit to the main Roman monuments and Middle Age constructions of Tarragona.Tarragona, the entrance door of the Roman influence at the Spanish Peninsula, and later the capital of the Citerior Hispania, continues having a wide range of preserved Roman monuments (old walls, Circus, Amphitheather, etc.) and Middle Age constructions (Arcade, Palaces, old Hospital and Cathedral). Its archaeologic contents make this city a must in any cultural journey.
