Southeast Pacific Data and Information Network to support Integrated Coastal Area management.

The coastal zone and the marine areas represent a strategic component for the development of Latin America and the sustainable blue growth. However, the existing initiatives on Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) and Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) amongst the Southeast Pacific countries (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru) are with different implementation degree. Therefore, there is a need to improve the transboundary coordination and cooperation for coastal and marine management and planning in this region. The Southeast Pacific Data and Information Network to Support the Integrated Coastal Area Management (SPINCAM) is developing a harmonized coastal and marine environmental management framework for the beneficiary countries in the Southeast Pacific, thereby providing the right tools to apply the ecosystem approach in their national waters, while also providing a foundation for planning sustainable economic development (blue growth) through inter-institutional capacity-building, which will translate into concrete recommendations and strategies at the regional level.
