Sustainable Management Flashcards
Sustainable management of the coastal zone is wider than preventing erosion
It involves a range of strategies including:
Mitigation of flood and erosion risk using a range of techniques
Adaptation to erosion and flood risk
Education of local communities
Supporting livelihoods dependent on the coastal zone such as fishing
Monitoring of coastal changes
Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is based on
the idea of sustainable coastal management
Conflicts occur as a result of sustainable management because
Farmers may lose productive land due to managed retreat or do-nothing policies because their land has less value than that in towns
People may lose their homes and have to relocate in areas where the cost-benefit analysis decides the areas cannot be protected
