Description Some of the leading coastal countries like
Australia, China, France, Israel, Japan. New
Zealand, Oman, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand.
Turkey, U.K., U.S.A and others have taken
urgent steps for coastal zone management
following the 1992 United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development (UNCED) to
meet their commitments to the sustainable
development of coastal areas and the marine
environment under the national Jurisdiction as
per Chapter 17 of Agenda 21 of the above
conference. As the coastal zone is generally
busy with many economic activities like
agriculture, forestry, fisheries, transport and
manufacturing industries, it is necessary to
accord priority to the conservation of the
natural resources and the coastal ecosystem
to ensure their sustainable development.
Therefore, many coastal countries have evolved
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)
plans.
