Abstract

Management and planning of coastal and marine areas are complex processes that are more and more required to effectively support a coordinated development of socio-economic activities. In managing coastal and marine activities, it is important to have good governance with assistant from spatial data infrastructure (SDI), to ensure sustainable planning and development of marine area. GIS and related technologies are becoming increasingly used to aid in the administration and management of the marine environment. This article describes the implementation of SDI, demonstrating how an interoperable system can provide strong support in implementing the integrated coastal and marine management. It also focuses on the degree of GIS implementation, the issues, the limitation and engagement in establishing SDI-ICMM in Tunisia.
