Strategy for Monitoring the Environment in the Coastal Zone

  • Chapter
Coastal Zone Management Imperative for Maritime Developing Nations

Part of the book series: Coastal Systems and Continental Margins ((CSCM,volume 3))

Abstract

Located between the open ocean and the terrestrial domain, the coastal regions of the world are characterized by intensive physical, biological and social interactions. In total, coastal areas comprise only 8% of the worlds surface area but they are extremely attractive for human settlement and social activity due to their wealth of natural resources and amenities. They are biologically highly productive, hubs of industrial infra-structure and economic growth, and highly desirable for tourism and recreation. It is this very attraction that has led to intense pressures on the diverse and valuable resources of the coastal regions; pressures that are likely to increase.
