  15. Approach Planning an ICZM program through: • Monitoring by remote sensing and ground based techniques and identifying hot pollution spots. • Identifying and assessing changes in the area by high resolution imageries • Building and analysis of a GIS for the region (topography, layers of vegetation and types, wetland, aquaculture, archeology, residential, industrial installations, land based pollution sources…) • Putting forward an integrated coastal zone management plan for development and identifying suitable areas for tourism projects. • Carrying out a strategic environmental assessment of the plan. • Promoting and communicating the study as a pilot study that can be replicated at other similar areas along the coast.
