2 Southeast Pacific Data And Information Network In Support To Integrated Coastal Area Management (SPINCAM I) Funded by the Flemish Government of Belgium Approved in 2008 with 770,000 USD Implemented between 2009 and early 2012, Coordinated by IOC-UNESCO and CPPS. SPINCAM was designed to establish an integrated coastal area management (ICAM) indicator framework at national and regional level in the countries of the Southeast Pacific region (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru) focusing on the state of the coastal and marine environment and socio-economic conditions, to provide stakeholders with information on the sustainability of existing and future coastal management practices and development.

3 GOALS OF SPINCAM I SPINCAM has focused on the development of a harmonized methodology to design sets of national indicators and to reach an agreement between the five countries to design a core set of common regional indicators. One of the goals of the project was to build information systems at national and regional level to support the development of indicators, their spatial representation, and the dissemination of ICAM resources and experiences, including the communication format and strategy. This is being done through the development of fact sheets and scorecards for each indicator, and their integration into a custom-built spatial data infrastructure (Atlas) at national and regional level. 3

6 SPINCAM National Focal Points National institutions with the mandate of ICAM implementation were identified by CPPS as the national focal point institutions for the project. A representative of the institution, at the level of the director was appointed National Focal Point to integrate the Project Steering Committee. 6

7 Criteria for the Selection of SPINCAM Regional Indicators Following the Plan for Territorial Organization of Marine and Coastal Zones of the Southeast Pacific, 1989 Common feasible methodology for the calculation of indicators in the 5 countries To be Possible to continue calculating the selected regional Indicators along the time Just a few indicators well defined rather than a lot of them half defined Indicators should be interrelated 7

8 Selected regional indicators: 5 basic indicators to begin with Regional Indicator 1. MARINE PROTECTED AREAS Regional Indicator 2. POPULATION DENSITY Regional Indicator 3. WATER QUALITY Regional Indicator 4. BIODIVERSITY Regional Indicator 5. COASTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS 8

POPULATION DENSITY Regional Indicator 3.

9 Proposed Factsheets: Focus on both processes and outcomes Considers governance, socioeconomic and ecological dimensions Makes use of different approaches, methods and tools Following the IOC Handbook on ICAM Indicators and agreed in the 1st Regional Technical Workshop 9

10 ACHIEVEMENTS OF SPINCAM I The SPINCAM project started developing two pilot Regional Indicators 1) Marine and Coastal Protected Areas 2) Population density It was followed by formulation of other three indicators 3) Planning tools for ICAM 4) Water Quality 5) Biodiversity.

20 CHALLENGES IN SPINCAM I Differences between countries and political and administrative issues affected the course of the SPINCAM project. Political changes in some of the countries have meant changes of responsibilities in the national focal points and resulted in delayed project implementation. The SPINCAM project has attempted to address these issues through inter-agency coordination, the strengthening of technical capabilities and improvement of decision- making based on indicators on the state of coastal resources. In the next phase of SPINCAM, the Steering Committee agreed on need to strengthen the institutionalization of SPINCAM within the lead national agency in order to avoid loss of information when focal points or administrations are changing. Clear and effective financial mechanism at national level will be critical! 20

21 CHALLENGES IN SPINCAM I (Cont ) The definition and methodological development of regional indicators was more difficult than expected due to the different level of technological infrastructure of the countries and institutions. These technical difficulties created delays in the implementation of some activities. A strong capacity building process and training was also put in place to assist the SPINCAM national teams, which will continue to be a priority area for the second phase of the project. In addition to this, the national and regional meetings have remarkably contributed to overcome the challenges posed. 21

22 WHY A 2 ND PHASE FOR SPINCAM? The SPINCAM Countries strongly recognize the benefits of the project SPINCAM and the importance of a second phase that will focus on: the formulation of new regional indicators and consolidation of the five indicators identified in phase I, continue the update of products and information, including the integration of national indicators into national atlases. develop a regional information sharing mechanism providing resources and contents on ICAM, to ensure the sustainability of the SPINCAM system and networks beyond the life of the Project. Within a global perspective, SPINCAM will provide an excellent opportunity to contribute to the establishment of a reporting mechanism on the state of marine environment in the region, as called for by the UN General Assembly Regular Process (World Ocean Assessment). Synergies and cooperation will be established with the GEF IW Transboundary Water Assessment Programme (TWAP) which is led by IOC/UNESCO (Large Marine Ecosystem and Open Ocean Components). 22
