The coastal zone is a mixed anthropogenic and environmental area (socio-ecological system) characterized by the significant variety of morphological conditions, land uses, which significantly change in time and space.Natural systems located on the border between the terrestrial environment and the marine environment are characterized by a morphological, ecological and dynamic variety, which changes over short and medium periods of time, under the influence of climatic factors and taking into account from the tidal effect every two hours to wind erosion or wave-related phenomena. In this paper, the authors will choose the optimal approach of strategic management that aims to analyze and evaluate these options by addressing economic, social and environmental factors. The multifactorial approach must consider a careful analysis of stakeholders in a coastal area, having in mind that each area has its peculiarities and needs to be treated separately. When developing the approach for analyzing and evaluating strategic options, the authors will consider the sectorial plans designed for the coastal area, as well as the local, regional and national development plans.

Coastal zone management requires an understanding of the complex milieu of interactions and activities taking place in an environmental system. Man is beginning to recognize that the old method of dealing with individual issues and problems as single fragment of a whole ecosystem is not enough. This paper tries to deal with the integrated manner in carrying out effectively the management of the coastal zone in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro by the Man and the Biosphere Interagency Committee on Ecological Studies. To attain the objective of the project, the different agencies monitor, identify, observe, investigate various natural and physical parameters contributing to the ecological balance and study the rational use of the resources along the coastal zone. Result of the study showed that although such factors as land use practices of shifting cultivation (kaingin), human attitude towards forest and its resources, and continuous increase in population and migration of people were observed, such pressure on lands has not greatly affected the Puerto Galera coastal zone resources.
