It draws on an analysis of legal framework, coastal agencies and international projects showing climate change impacts to highlight to national and municipal decision making and potential protection and adaptation options. Kaş-Kekova marine protected area project and ICZM planning efforts are summarized in Turkey from a city planning and public participation approach.
