Regional efforts jointly done for synthesizing the situation about Integrated Coastal Management and Public Politics in Iberoamerica started almost a decade ago. Ten years later, the present Chapter is aimed to analyze advances regarding implementation of integrated coastal management in Cuba. Due to its condition of being a Caribbean archipelago, everything in Cuba is strongly linked to its coastal and marine characteristics; issues about integrated coastal zone management have received greater attention, becoming, at present, an item of maximum priority among the political and legal frameworks of the country. Improvement to the political-normative framework regarding integrated coastal management, increase in the number of institutions devoted to assess themes related to that topic, as well as in the number of projects, activities for Postgraduate formation and communitarian education regarding the topic, are all widely shown in the present Chapter. Approval and implementation of the National Plan for Social and Economic Development up to 2030 (NPSED, 2030), and of the State Plan to face the Climate Change (“Life Task” in Sp. “Tarea Vida”) have been irrelevant for the country. Both Plans are aimed to analyze typical problems of the coastal zone, focusing on the search of solutions. New challenges for coastal zone management in Cuba are also described in the present Chapter, where possibilities of putting into practice new actions, as well as items, which require deeper analysis, are also given.

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.

В настоящее время как в России, так и за рубежом, уделяется повышенное внимание проблематике комплексного управления прибрежными зонами. Прибрежная зона – это ресурс, который подвергается практически ничем не ограниченному и бесконтрольному использованию и эксплуатации, что влечет за собой деградацию берегов и загрязнение природной среды. Ввиду недостаточной разработки понятийного аппарата в современном законодательстве и несовершенству самой законодательной базы, прибрежная зона как отдельный объект выбывает из правового регулирования, что неизбежно влечет за собой ее неэффективное использование. Поэтому одной из важных задач в подготовке магистров является овладение компетенциями в области управления прибрежными зонами. Today much attention is paid to the problems of integrated management of coastal zones, both in Russia and abroad. The coastal zone is a resource that is subjected to almost unlimited and uncontrolled use and exploitation, which entails coastal degradation and environmental pollution. Due to the weak development of the conceptual apparatus in modern legislation and the imperfection of the legislative framework itself, the coastal zone as a separate object is removed from legal regulation, which inevitably entails its ineffective use. Therefore, one of the most important tasks in the preparation of the Master is to master the competencies in the field of coastal management.

AbstractData and information obtained from low-cost uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as ‘drones’, can be used to support integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) and sustainable development at the coast. Several recent studies in various disciplines, including ecology, engineering, and several branches of physical and human geography, describe the applications of UAV technology with practical coastal management potential, yet the extent to which such data can contribute to these activities remains underexplored. The main objective of this paper is to collate this knowledge to highlight the areas in which UAV technology can contribute to ICZM and can influence the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the coast. We focus on applications with practical potential for coastal management activities and assess their accessibility in terms of cost, ease of use, and maturity. We identified ten (out of the 17) SDGs to which UAVs can contribute data and information. Examples of applications include surveillance of illegal fishing and aquaculture activities, seaweed resource assessments, cost-estimation of post-storm damages, and documentation of natural and cultural heritage sites under threat from, for example, erosion and sea-level rise. An awareness of how UAVs can contribute to ICZM, as well as the limitations of the technology, can help coastal practitioners to evaluate their options for future management activities.

Pemetaan stakeholders menunjukkan kategori pemangku kepentingan yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan kawasan pesisir sebagai subyek, pemain, aktor, dan penonton. Strategi untuk mengoptimalkan pengaturan pemangku kepentingan dalam mewujudkan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir yang berkelanjutan diperlukan melalui peningkatan kolaborasi dan kerja sama antara subyek dan pemain yang memiliki tingkat kekuasaan dan kepentingan yang tinggi terhadap kebijakan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir. Hal ini dapat terwujud melalui peningkatan kerja sama dan kolaborasi yang efektif antara pemerintah dan masyarakat dalam perwujudan kebijakan pengelolaan kawasan pesisir berkelanjutan. Strategi pengelolaan kawasan pesisir berkelanjutan harus melibatkan seluruh pemangku kepentingan sehingga dapat melindungi sumber daya alam dan jasa lingkungan, memperhatikan kualitas lingkungan, dan meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat pesisir. Title: Stakeholders Analysis of Sustainable Coastal Zone Management in the Gunungkidul RegencySustainable management of coastal area requires a role and support from all stakeholders. The aims of this study are to analyze the role, interest, and influence of stakeholders in the coastal zone management of Gunungkidul, as well as to formulate sustainable coastal management strategies. The research used quantitative and qualitative methods with questionnaires and in-depth interview. Data were collected from April to July 2018; processed by Mactor software and analysed using stakeholder analysis. The results showed that coastal management of Gunungkidul Regency involved three key stakeholders, six primary stakeholders, and three supporting stakeholders as a coordinator, facilitator, and implementer. Mapping stakeholders shows the categories of stakeholders involved in the management of coastal zones as subjects, players, actors, and spectator. Therefore, strategies are necessary to optimize stakeholder arrangements in realizing sustainable coastal area management through increasing collaboration and cooperation between subjects and players who have a level high of power and interest in coastal management policies. The sustainable coastal area management policies can be realized through effective collaboration and cooperation between government and community. The strategies must also involve all related parties to protect natural resources and environment, to concern with environment quality, and it increase the income of coastal communities.

The Coastal Zone (CZ), declared as National Heritage by the 1988 Federal Constitution, is endowed as an area of strategic importance. Coastal economic activities are responsible for the majority portion of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), linked to ports, fishing, mining (i.e., oil), and tourism. Thus, the intense degradation of natural resources puts both socio-economic sustainability and local populations’ environmental quality at risk. This study presents actors and public policies relevant to Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). It seeks to resolve existing conflicts while respecting the compatibility of coastal uses sustainably, considering that the interrelationships of economic, environmental and social phenomena resulting from the overlapping of the different uses of the Brazilian coast generate different impacts. The study aims to assess municipal coastal management in line with Marine Spatial Plans (MSP), with relevance to the provisions of Bill nº 6969/2013. Such legislation “institutes the National Policy for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Marine Biome and associated coastal ecosystems (PNCMar)” and analyses municipal public power, between integral and participant of the integrated coastal management, together with union and state governments, responsible for elaborating, implementing, executing and monitoring their respective Coastal Management Plans. The methodology consists of collecting bibliographic and documentary data and reviewing articles, laws, bills, federal decrees and classic texts that addressed ICZM and MSP. For an integrated, sustainable coastal management, Bill nº 6969/2013 requires adjustments, with coastal municipalities remaining in management in a decentralised, participatory manner to make their local spatial planning instruments compatible.

Coastal zone management (CZM) has evolved since the enactment of the U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, which was the first comprehensive program of its type. The newer iteration of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), as applied to the European Union (2000, 2002), establishes priorities and a comprehensive strategy framework. While coastal management was established in large part to address issues of both development and resource protection in the coastal zone, conditions have changed. Accelerated rates of sea level rise (SLR) as well as continued rapid development along the coasts have increased vulnerability. The article examines changing conditions over time and the role of CZM and ICZM in addressing increased climate related vulnerabilities along the coast. The article argues that effective adaptation strategies will require a sound information base and an institutional framework that appropriately addresses the risk of development in the coastal zone. The information base has improved through recent advances in technology and geospatial data quality. Critical for decision-makers will be sound information to identify vulnerabilities, formulate options, and assess the viability of a set of adaptation alternatives. The institutional framework must include the political will to act decisively and send the right signals to encourage responsible development patterns. At the same time, as communities are likely to bear higher costs for adaptation, it is important that they are given appropriate tools to effectively weigh alternatives, including the cost avoidance associated with corrective action. Adaptation strategies must be pro-active and anticipatory. Failure to act strategically will be fiscally irresponsible.
