Showing papers in "Ocean & Coastal Management in 1993"

TL;DR: A general or "synthesis" model of integrated coastal management is presented in this paper, addressing such questions as management goals, what is being managed, where, how, and by whom.

TL;DR: The protection from cyclone damage afforded by the natural mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, led the Forest Department in 1966 to initiate a large-scale afforestation initiative as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In the last ten years, the greatest growth in integrated coastal zone management programs has been among developing nations as discussed by the authors, and the continual increase in the number of programs is making international communication, coordination and information exchange increasingly difficult.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that the resolution of tourism problems in the coastal zone will require the scientific study of environmental and social conditions, policy analyses, planning, and public education.

TL;DR: The coastal zone comprises a narrow strip of coastal lowlands and a vast area of coastal waters as discussed by the authors and it represents approximately 10% of the earth's surface, while the coastal zone represents approximately 50% of world population.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for user conflicts is avoided or counteracted by instigating proactive multiple use planning in marine and coastal protected areas by encouraging nature-based or ecotourism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the definition and use of the term integrated management in the context of coastal and ocean resources and identify several components which appear to be needed to establish an integrated management system for a large area subject to multiple use and jurisdiction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the development of recreational activities through tourism as major uses of coastal environments and identify a number of relationships between environment condition and human impacts associated with recreation or tourism.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for structuring marine eco-tourism programs so as to capitalize on a range of cognitive states experienced by tourists in a novel marine environment setting is presented.

TL;DR: Human harvesting of intertidal and subtidal species of invertebrates and algae on the rocky coast of New South Wales is widespread and destructive as discussed by the authors, with the consequences of harvesting with respect to the direct and indirect effects on local populations.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the biological composition of sandy beaches of the southeastern US, in the context of beach restoration, is provided first, and specific recommendations for the design, execution and analysis of monitoring programs to receive the maximum return for effort invested are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the coastal system between Cape Palmas bordering the Ivory Coast and Liberia and Mount Cameroon, as a basis for regional coastal-erosion management, where the morphological processes are influenced by human activities in the catchments of the rivers (dams), in the estuaries (dredging) and along the coasts (port construction).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an integrated coastal zone management program to address the challenge of coping with climate change and accelerated sea level rise, which will require a holistic view, shared by different institutional levels that exist, along which different needs and interests should be balanced.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the extent to which the existing US Coastal Zone Management (CZM) program represents Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) and conclude that the actions taken at Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 as part of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) could eventually impact the policies of the US in such a way as to encourage better integration of US coastal and ocean management efforts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general system description of the coastal zone, and focus on the modelling of the natural subsystem components of this system as a first step towards a model for Integrated Coastal Management (ICM).

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of the National Estuary Program's Management Conference process for managing estuarine ecosystems is assessed. But, it remains to be determined if a state's "ecological capacity" will limit the implementation of the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (CCMPs) that are produced by each estuary program.

TL;DR: The need for building human and institutional capacity has been identified in Agenda 21 of the UNCED conference as well as by a number of international environmental institutions as essential for integrated coastal management and sustainable development in developing coastal states as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) was put forward in the context of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UN Agenda 21), in relation to the theoretical backgrounds on which the development of coastal area programmes have been founded.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine various forms and elements for the effective integration of CZM into NDP and show that in many countries, coastal zone management has evolved in isolation from the mainstream of national development processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general or synthetic model of integrated coastal management is presented, addressing such questions as management goals, what is being managed, where, how, and by whom, and methods are proposed whereby the general or ''synthesis model'' can be tailored to diverse national contexts, involving varying physical, socio-economic, and political conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a ten week field investigation was conducted on three different study sites to obtain qualitative and quantitative data that would serve as a basis for the development of a mariculture management plan that integrates contemporary marine tenure practices with government management strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an argument in favor of utilizing marine conservation regimes for managing and controlling tourism in coastal and marine areas, where tourism is identified as having both positive and negative effects on natural environments.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model for predicting the current and Nuvan, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and nitrogen levels for a proposed fish-farm configuration in a bay off the Eire coastline is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the relative resistance to foreshore and backshore erosion caused by anthropogenic lake level regulation by comparing two types of nearshore configurations: reflective and dissipative.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of eutrophication associated with the presence of coastal constructions and several natural phenomena over the benthic biological communities in a bay of southeastern Iberia (Aguilas, Murcia) is studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify two principal threats to sustainable coastal fisheries: loss of fish habitat and deterioration of water quality brought about by environmental changes generated in other sectors, and propose a strategy for integrated coastal fisheries management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the beginnings of tourism development on one such island, Pohnpei, a volcanic island in the tropical Pacific, and discuss issues in the context of two extreme alternatives of development: alternative or eco tourism and mass tourism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define open bioenergetic systems of high quality due to the intense exchanges which take place there, i.e. sedimentary, gaseous, hydrological and biological exchanges.
