AbstractKorea may be considered to be in the vanguard of the inexorable shift towards the integrated management of marine and coastal affairs. The Korean Government established the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) on 8 August 1996, integrating the ocean-related functions from ten government authorities in order to ensure consistent and effective marine policy. The main objective of this paper is to delineate the current issues of marine policy in Korea within the context of the changing global environment, and to discuss the chances for success of Korea's emerging marine policy. Special emphasis will be placed on the rapidly changing framework within which Korea's marine policy is devised, due to the establishment of the new ocean-related ministry.

As regiões costeiras são ambientes extremamente dinâmicos e agregam diferentes valores. Diante disso, o intuito da presente pesquisa foi realizar uma caracterização referente ao uso e a ocupação da orla marítima dos municípios de Grossos e Tibau (RN). Para isso, realizou-se a classificação da orla, segundo os conceitos do projeto Orla, e a quantificação da ocupação. Os resultados mostraram que as orlas marítimas de ambos os municípios possuem fortes interferências antrópicas, apresentando classes de orla marítima A, B e C. As classes encontradas evidenciaram os seguintes valores: 47% em processo de urbanização, 45% não urbanizada e 8% com urbanização consolidada. Assim, conclui-se que a área necessita de um plano de ordenamento do uso e ocupação do solo que seja concebido mediante o controle social, de modo que se possa obter uma Gestão Integrada das orlas marítimas.  Use and occupation of the coastline in the municipalities of Tibau and Grossos (RN): Mechanism for integrated coastal management A B S T R A C TThe coastal regions are extremely dynamic environments and add different values. Therefore, the aim this paper was to characterize the use and occupation of the coastal zone of the municipalities Grossos and Tibau (RN). For this, the classification of the coastal zone was carried out according to the concepts of the Orla project, and quantification of the occupation. The results showed that the coastal zone of both municipalities have strong anthropic interference, presenting classes of coastal zone A, B and C. The classes found showed the following values: 47%, in the urbanization process, 45% not urbanized and 8% with urbanization consolidated. Thus, it is concluded that the area needs a plan of land use and occupation that is conceived through social control, so that an integrated management of the coastal zone.Keywords: Coastal management, urbanization, sustainability.

In Colombia, in order to meet the challenges of coastal marine management and responding to international commitments, it was adopted in 2000 the “National Environmental Policy for the Sustainable Development of Ocean Spaces and Coastal and Insular Zones of Colombia - PNAOCI ”, which has an ecosystem approach and as a conceptual framework, the integrated management of coastal zones -MIZC (or integrated coastal management - MCI / integrated coastal management - GCI), seeking to balance environmental protection and economic development, to contribute to the Physical ordering of the territory (Territorial Ordering), from the environmental ordering. For this, criteria were defined to guide the definition of the coastal zone in the country and spatial units (Coastal Environmental Units – UACs, acronym in Spanish) were delimited, as continuous geographical areas, involving land and sea space, with clearly defined ecosystems, which they require a unified visualization and management that brings together local and subregional territorial entities; in addition to consolidating over 20 years, a conceptual, political, regulatory, technical and operational support. In the legal context, as of Law 1450 of 2011, the generation of normative support regarding the UACs and the Plans for the management and integrated management of coastal environmental units (POMIUAC, acronym in Spanish) was promoted, as a planning instrument (Decree 1120 of 2013, compiled in Decree 1076 of 2015); Likewise, based on practical cases, a methodological framework was built embodied in a technical guide for the preparation of the POMIUAC, adopted by Resolution 768 of 2017. On the other hand, although the advances in the coastal marine environmental regulation in Colombia are oriented under the MIZC, given the similarities in terms of definition, spatial scope, scope and methodology, that they have with marine spatial planning (PEM), it can be said that these processes developed in Colombia under the MIZC scheme contribute to the development of the PEM concept In the country, and in the opposite case, practical EMP exercises that are addressed could complement the advances that the country has made in this area under the policy and regulatory framework that supports it.

The coastal areas of India are getting greater importance in recent years, owing to increasing human population, urbanization and accelerated developmental activities. These anthropogenic activities have created conflict between physical, environmental and human dimensions.  Systematic knowledge and understanding of various dimensions of the coastal area shall guide for wise use of coastal resources, resolving human-induced problems, and improving governance systems. Integrated coastal management (ICM) is conceived as a holistic management tool working across sectoral, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries.  Any program aimed at integrated management of the coastal zone is to meet and overcome the challenges of building up and anchoring new institutional, technical, and administrative capacity. Capacity development on integrated management and planning are recently initiated at academic level in India.  UNDP defines capacity development as “the process through which individuals, organisations and societies obtain, strengthen and maintain the capabilities to set and achieve their own development objectives over time.  A capacity assessment provides a comprehensive perspective on capacities critical to the achievement of development objectives. Capacity need analysis are offering desired future capacities against current capacities and offers a systematic way of gathering critical knowledge and information on capacity asset.  Capacity assessment on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICM) in India has been conducted by surveying published literatures through data mining from databases.  In total seven thousand three hundred and fifty six indexed research papers which were published in Indias’ coastal areas between the years 1977 and 2008 were assessed for capacity need assessment purpose.  The literatures were classified under sixteen subject heads which are the essential components of ICM planning process.  The subject clusters were further classified into five levels viz., introductory level, process level, decision level, sustainable coastal zone management level, and innovative level.  Researches where does not happened on the particular subjects were classified as “no evidence of research”. Based on the content of the literature and a skill map prepared, it is found that the literatures are mostly under introductory level and they are mostly on science subjects with few on socio-economic and management subjects.  Considering the outcome of this literature survey and capacity analysis, the World Bank has accepted for financial assistance to establish National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management at Chennai, India.  The process of ICM capacity analysis in India is described in this paper.

The analysis, dissemination and adaptation of good practices have been a reality for a long time, carried out by various sectors of the public and private sectors. In the case of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM), this scenario is incipient and lacks conceptual and methodological development. Good practices in Integrated Coastal Management are fundamental for the sustainability of these areas. Although Brazil has a legal and executive framework for GCI established over 30 years ago, there is no instrument to identify and share these good practices. In this context, this article presents and analyzes the development of the Integrated Coastal Management Best Practices Assessment Model, which was tested in three assessments of specific management processes. The first two evaluations were carried out with the managers of the ‘Costa Sul’ Program, an integrated management experience on a regional scale in the South of Brazil. The third evaluation of the model was carried out at the Federal Conservation Unit ‘Estação Ecológica do Taim’ and analyzed the management of this protected area from the perspective of Integrated Coastal Management. Priority was given to the elaboration and application of the model, where its results were presented and analyzed as the main locus of the research, leaving the analysis of the results of the management processes (specifically) in the background. The Good Practice Assessment Model is a pioneering initiative in terms of systematic assessment of good practices in ICM in Brazil and can contribute to the definition of integrated strategic bases for decision making and support for adaptive management. Keywords: Conceptual modeling; Integrated coastal management; Good practices; Management Instruments; Good practices; Evaluation processes.

At present, the ecological environment and resources of the global coastal zones are facing great pressures. Climate change leads to sea level rise, environmental change, stressful population increases and changes in demographics, all of which affect existing coastal management systems. Therefore, all coastal countries begin to increasingly attach importance to the integrated management of coastal zones. How to better adapt to current changes in global coastal zones is a question that every coastal country should think about. From sea- and land-partitioned management to land and sea coordination and from simple coastal management to the integration of the ecological environment and society, integrated management has been planned from many perspectives and levels. It plays a role in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

AbstractIntegrated coastal management (ICM) programmes are being planned, formulated and implemented in coastal States all over the world. To date, however, ICM has been seen as more in the realm of policy-makers, managers, scientists, coastal resource economists, and others, rather than in the realm of lawyers. This article reveals how law and lawyers should play an absolutely essential role at all stages of the ICM process. Ideally, ICM legal consultants will have a broad range of knowledge and experience in both international legal treaties as well as in certain fundamental national law principles, so that coastal zone policies will be designed and carried out with a critical understanding of the laws and institutions needed for the long-term success of an integrated coastal management programme.
