The analysis, however, depicted some important relationships between the institutional and management systems on one hand, and environmental management of the coastal areas, on the other. The analysis of the number and structure of applied economic instruments depicted certain changes over time. Finally, some conclusions are made along with several guidelines for the improvement of the efficiency of the application of economic instruments and their structure in the Mediterranean.
