The Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) was established in 1975 to address the problems of marine pollution in the region, and the following year, the Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution (the Barcelona Convention) was adopted, under the auspices of UNEP. CAMP (the Coastal Area Management Programme) is the MAP programme set up to promote the integration of sustainable development and integrated coastal area management into planning objectives, through individual projects in selected coastal areas. This publication contains documents relating to the MAP CAMP Malta project , the first exercise in integrated coastal area management within the Maltese Islands, produced in two volumes.

This edited volume brings together a collection of works that comprehensively address both the myriad geomorphological landscapes of the Maltese Islands and how their evolution has been shaped over various time-scales by different sets of processes. Additionally, the work highlights how the small geographical setting of the Maltese Islands helped to closely connect these landscapes with Maltese society and as a result, they have evolved from stand-alone examples of geomorphology to important backdrops of Maltese cultural identity. Most of the contributing authors are academics – both local and foreign – with a research focus on the geomorphology of the Maltese Islands. However, the editors have also (and purposefully) chosen other contributors from governmental institutions and research agencies, who complement the geomorphological research with their proactive work in selected case studies on Maltese landscapes.

This book contains regional surveys of coastal management progress in Europe and the Mediterranean since 1992, discussion regional trends, development sin decision making, and cooperative activities. It then goes on to assess national progress towards coastal management, including the development of national coastal management systems, efforts at coordinated planning and management, and the development and use of environmental codes of practice. It then examines selected priority issues in the Northern Adriatic: economic integration and regional economic development, international scientific and technological cooperation in marine affairs and coastal tourism. Finally, the book covers the use of GIS in coastal environments and coastal engineering, the role played by scientific information in coastal policy, and the importance of free trade agreements.
