Module 2: Tools and Governance
The first module on Tools and Governance provides an understanding of
what good governance is, its characteristics and the rules of good
governance, and what good management is, its importance for coastal
areas, and tools for implementing good management practices.
The first lecture on "Good Governance" covers the characteristics of
good governance, its place in sustainable development and the rules of
good governance seen in coastal legislation and policy. The relevance of
environmental ethics is discussed and students are asked to apply it in
an analysis of the environmental decision making process for the
proposed pebble bed modular reactor on the west coast of South Africa.
The second lecture discusses the essence of good management, management
of coastal resources and gives an introduction to tools for such
management, namely, ICZM, EIA and SIA.
