Having devined the objectives, develop the strategy; then define the tactics/levers to respond to that strategy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">So, I suggest you work up a list of Management Categories, and put in order of subjective importance.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Your primary source is the <a href="http://www.ciria.org/pdf/r153_screen.pdf">Beach Management Manual</a> from <a href="http://www.ciria.org/about.htm">CIRIA</a>. This is a weighty document, and I suggest that you review the contents pages to get a flavour of the immensity of the subject, and then print out page 194 on Beach Managment Plans. Note that this Manual was published in 1996 and is currently under review/rewrite.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">For water quality see <a href="http://www.marinet.org.uk/ukbw.html">here</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">For <a href="http://www.torridge.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=6209">example</a> of BMP</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Possible issues to cover in BMP:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">water qulaity</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">access</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">amenity</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">carbon/aquatic footprint</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">signage/messaging</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">educational</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">safety</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">manning/human resources</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">heritage</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">bio-diversity</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">contingency management</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">international linkages</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">marketing</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">mapping</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">regulatory compliance</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">achievement of good status</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">fiscal strengths</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">stakeholder dialogue</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">analysticical processes - swot</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">ownership</span></li></ul>Rory MacPheehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346871694317919314noreply@blogger.com0
