Features

Management Strategies - a description of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) system, standardized in 1989, which balances conflicting needs, maximizes resource benefits, and protects coastal environments. Concepts, problems, and solutions are described, and potential legal and administrative approaches are discussed. Strategy planning, including issues analysis, is emphasized as the primary component of specific management frameworks.

Management Methods - a presentation of specific management approaches. This section describes techniques, includes planning instructions, and proposes specific management objectives.

Management Information - a general compilation of information about coastal resources and management. This section consists primarily of material that supports the coastal management processes explained in section two, but includes other relevant information useful at various levels of management.

Case Histories - a collection of project histories of coastal zone management from 28 countries. Subjects in this section include conservation, land use controls, pollution abatement, resource management, economic valuation, research techniques, construction impacts, management programs, aquaculture, public response, tourism impacts, nature reserves, setbacks, wetlands, beach management, ocean sewage outfalls, and environmental restoration.

Summary

Coastal Zone Management Handbook comprises the first complete manual on coastal resource planning and management technology. Written by an international consultant, this handbook reflects a global perspective on the natural resources, sensitivities, economics, development, productivity, and diversity of coastal zones. The emphasis is on tropical and subtropical coastal ecosystems, but the information is widely applicable. In addition to its comprehensive coverage of general concepts related to coastal regions, the book describes the strategic basis for coastal management, provides a set of working tools for management and planning activities, and presents case histories of management projects around the globe. Extensive references are provided for each management analysis, practice, technique, and solution.
Coastal Zone Management Handbook is made up of four sections:
