Global Challenges in Integrated Coastal Zone Management

Description

Growing pressure from increasingly diverse human activities coupled with climate change impacts threaten the functional integrity of coastal ecosystems around the globe. A multi-disciplinary approach towards understanding drivers, pressures and impacts in the coastal zone requires effective integration of data and information in policy and management, combining expertise from nature and social science, to reach a balanced and sustainable development of the coastal zone.This important book comprises the proceedings of The International Symposium on Integrated Coastal Zone Management, which took place in Arendal, Norway between 3-7 July 2011. The main objective of the Symposium was to present current knowledge and to address issues on advice and management related to the coastal zone. The major themes of papers included in this book are:Coastal habitats and ecosystem servicesAdaptation/mitigation to change in coastal systemsCoastal governanceLinking science and managementComprising a huge wealth of information, this timely and well-edited volume is essential reading for all those involved in coastal zone management around the globe. All libraries in research establishments and universities where marine, aquatic and environmental sciences, and fisheries and aquatic sciences are studied and taught will need copies of this important volume on their shelves.Content: Chapter 1 The Role of Science in the Transition to Sustainability: the Systems Approach Framework for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (pages 1–18): Tom Sawyer Hopkins and Denis BaillyChapter 2 The Norwegian Programme for Mapping of Marine Habitats – Providing Knowledge and Maps for ICZMP (pages 19–30): Trine Bekkby, Frithjof E.
