Conclusions

• The ICM Framework, with its identified elements
  of good governance and environmental management
  programs, provides local governments across the
  region with a common guide for sustainable
  development.
• The ICM Process has evolved into a comprehensive
  system for sustainable management and use of
  coastal and marine areas.
• Networking among local governments, and the
  benefits derived from networking, have been
  strengthened through the use of a common
  Framework for sustainable development of marine
  and coastal resources, providing governments the
  opportunity to learn by doing and sharing.
