Integrated coastal management
Spatial development glossary, European Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning (CEMAT), Territory and landscape, No 2, published by Council of Europe Publishing in 2007, suggests that integrated coastal management is:
An integrated, participative territorial approach is required to ensure that the management of Europe’s coastal zones is environmentally and economically sustainable, as well as socially equitable and cohesive. It aims at resolving the conflicting demands of society for products and services, taking into account both current and future interests. Major objectives are to:
- strengthen sectoral management by improving training, legislation and staffing;
- preserve the biological diversity of coastal ecosystems by preventing habitat destruction, pollution and over-exploitation; and
- promote the rational development and sustainable use of coastal resources.
NB AR5 Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, Glossary, published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as: ‘An integrated approach for sustainably managing coastal areas, taking into account all coastal habitats and uses.’
