The aim of this study is to promote cooperation and actions for the benefit of coastal communities on the Southern and Eastern shores of the Mediterranean region by adopting an approach that integrates environmental, economic and social dimensions. These areas are traditionally based on Fisheries, especially small-scale fisheries (SSFs), which contribute to strengthen social cohesion, in that the seafood value chains still represent the backbone of the coastal economy. The six coastal communities analysed in this paper are located in Algiers port--Casbah (Algeria), Marsa Matrouh (Egypt), Tricase (Italy), Tyre (Lebanon), Nador Lagoon (Morocco), Zarzis (Tunisia). Conclusions emphasise the need to develop a comprehensive reference system for dialogue, cooperation and capacity building both at national and regional level. The cluster approach can help create a favourable cooperation and competition environment, generating income and employment opportunities for local communities. Keywords: coastal communities, seafood value chains, industrial cluster, integrated development. Jel classification, O18, Q57, O13 Le but de cette etude est de promouvoir la cooperation et des actions en faveur des communautes cotieres sur les rives Sud et Est de la Mediterranee, en adoptant une approche qui integre les dimensions environnementale, economique et sociale. Cette region est traditionnellement axee sur la peche, et notamment la petite peche, qui contribue a renforcer la cohesion sociale, car les chames de valeur des produits de la mer constituent encore la colonne vertebrale de l'economie cotiere. Les six communautes cotieres examinees dans ce travail sont situees a la Casbah-port d'Alger (Algerie), a Marsa Matrouh (Egypte), a Tricase (Italie), Tyre (Liban), dans la lagune de Nador (Maroc) et a Zarzis (Tunisie). Dans les conclusions, l'accent est mis sur l'importance de structurer un systeme de reference global pour encourager le dialogue, la cooperation et le developpement des capacites a l'echelle nationale et regionale. Le modele du cluster pourrait contribuer a creer un environnement de cooperation et competition favorable, generant des revenus et des emplois au niveau des communautes locales. Mots-cles: communautes locales, chames de valeur des produits de la mer, cluster industriel, developpement integre.
