Integrated coastal zone management
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), also known as Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) or Integrated Coastal Planning, is a coastal management process that considers geographical and political boundaries and focuses on sustainability. The concept was developed in 1992 during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and outlined in the proceedings of Agenda 21, Chapter 17.
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a decision-making framework developed to address region-specific environmental implications for coastal zones by considering interactions between natural, social, and economic systems in coastal areas. ICZM is focused on sustainable coastal development and is relevant for areas of overlapping jurisdictions that require high level of integration across sectors, stakeholders, and government to implement change.
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is focused on sustainable development of coastal zones
Coastal zones are often characterized by diverse ecosystems that provide resources to local human populations. Coastal margins represent 8% of the world's surface area while providing 25% of global resources. Approximately 70% of the world's population lives within a day's walk of the coast, and two-thirds of the world's cities are coastal.
Coastal populations rely on resources like fish and minerals for subsistence, recreation, and economic development. These resources are considered common property and as such may be subject to over harvesting. For example, 90% of the world's fish harvest comes from within national exclusive economic zones, often within sight of the shore. The quantity of extracted resources, along with the process of extraction, compounded by pollution, has impacted local ecosystems.[citation needed]
The four documented goals of ICZM are:
ICZM framework may not be applicable in all situations. For example, the Sumatra earthquake and the Indian Ocean tsunami had significant impacts on the coastal environment itself and has altered perceptions of coastal hazard mitigation.
