Description This paper examines how the coastal areas are highly productive rich in
biodiversity and support intense economic and social activities. Indian
subcontine~t has a vast coastline extending 8129 km with enormous potential
for development. These coastal areas are often the sites of wealthiest
settlements and the most dynamic growth centres and as a consequence rapid
development has taken place utili sing the vast resources sustaining the life of
coastal villages and the 'fishermen, besides economic gains for the country as
a whole. Over the years, due to diversified activities and human interference,
intense deterioration ofsuch areas has taken place leading to several intra and
inter-sectoral conflicts. In order to protect the resources and ,promote coastal
area development Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) plan has been drawn
by the Government of India for its effective implementation. However, the
ICM plans have not been fully operational due to various reasons. Therefore,
the present paper communicates some of the major issues involved in the ICM
plans which can be thought of for their effective and immediate implementation
