What is the Human-Environment Observatory (OHM)?
For the past 10 years, the Mediterranean Coast Human-Environment Observatory (OHM) has been conducting research to identify and determine patterns of coastal land use, development, and management that are compatible with the conservation of the environment and the sustainable use of resources. This work is being carried out against a backdrop of competing land uses and global change (human impact, climate change), making sustainable coastal management—developed within the framework of ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management)—more essential than ever.
What is the purpose of this conference?
This symposium will provide an opportunity to present the work of the OHM Littoral Méditerranéen on the area stretching from Port Camargue to Palavas-les-Flots to all relevant stakeholders and interested parties: elected officials from local governments, local administrative bodies, or decentralized state agencies, associations, and others…
These presentations will provide an opportunity for discussion and questions about the work currently underway. These discussions will be taken into account in determining the future direction of the OHM Mediterranean Coast.
