slideThe Mediterranean maritime frontage is a noteworthy geographical area in terms of ecological richness, coastal urbanization and demographic pressure of all sorts, but also in terms of protection efforts.

However, the concentration of activities and the rising demographic growth impact negatively this area and triggers a great number of questions for all political actors, decision-makers and professionals committed in its planning, its organization and management.
Thus, the Mediterranean coastline is calling out to all those actors on these issues and others dealing with the preservation of natural sites, the dynamic of biodiversity, ecology, sustainable development and natural risks.

In response to the callings and expectations of different actors of the coastline, the Mediterranean Union of Surveyors (UMG), which is faithful to its commitment in favour of the development of the Mediterranean countries and the rallying of all potentials, dedicates its first congress to the theme :
« The Mediterranean coastline : vector of dialogue and sustainable development ».

I have the great pleasure, on behalf of all UMG members, to invite you to take part massively and to contribute actively to the enrichment of the debate thanks to your expertise, your experience and your thoughts.
I wish this congress to be a forum of debates and exchanges of ideas on the issues presenting a particular interest to all the stakeholders belonging to the Mediterranean coastline.

Aziz HILALI
President of the UMG

On the theme

Mediterranean coastline: vector of dialogue and sustainable development

Congrès 2015The Mediterranean basin refers to all the regions which are around the Mediterranean sea.The region stretches on 2 million kilometres square. The region was the cradle of civilizations among which the oldest ones in the world and shaped in many ways the destiny of humanity by allowing it to hold human and historical treasures. This region has consequently become the heart of civilization and the main axis for the traffic of goods and peoples, as well as the heart of exchanges and fructuous partnerships in the countries all around.

Indeed, the Mediterranean coastline faces nowadays more and more the threat of pollution, the intensification of tourism and the demographic growth which put a bigger pressure on already limited resources in water and lands. The unrestrained establishment of coastal and urban touristic infrastructures, the over-exploitation of natural resources, among which water, continuously damage the environment by making it more and more vulnerable to the impacts of climate changes.

Those different factors which put pressure on the Mediterranean coastline triggers a great number of questions for all political actors, decision-makers and professionals committed in its planning, its organization and management. Those issues dealing with the preservation of natural sites, the dynamic of biodiversity, ecology, sustainable development, natural and technological risks, conflicts of uses, good governance of the maritime public domain are calling out all the actors: scientists, engineers, planners, politicians, decision-maker...

Sub-themes to be debated during the Congress:

  • Judicial and legal framework of the coastline;
  • Issue and analysis of the coastline;
  • Studies, strategies and policies to protect the coastline;
  • Impact of climate changes on the coastline;
  • Strategic role of land policies in the protection of the coastline;
  • Alternatives and prospects for a better governance of the coastline;
  • Availability of an updated cartography of the coastline;
  • Development of competences : training and research;
  • International experiences: Africa, North America, Europe and Arabic countries;
