Italian term

competenze

Italian to English Science Environment & Ecology delta area preservation
"Se per il delta del Po una prospettiva diversa è possibile oggi questa sembra risiedere in un maggiore coordinamento, comunicazione e condivisione di obiettivi e risultati tra le diverse competenze locali e nella capacità di adattamento ad un ambiente fragile e sottoposto ad importanti cambiamenti."

I'd like to know how to translate this best:

1. literally? And so, "competences/-ies"?
2. metaphorically, or according to the idea of the 'part for the whole', and thus a job skill is referred to in order to mean the whole profession? And thus "jobs/professions"?
3. some other way of referring to the task or skill or competency, without using these terms?

Thanks, I know this is in the glossary as competences/skills/expertise, but here these seemed an insufficient translation.

agree James (Jim) Davis : Just seen Marco's comment. I don't know what to do. I disagree with local bodies, but obviously agree with Marco's suggestion.

mmm.... difficult situation :)
agree philgoddard : Bodies is fine. Local authorities is ambiguous because it can just mean councils.

agree Lorraine Buckley (X) : and also with what Phil says: authorities would lead one to think it was only local councils
