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.

Los planes de manejo integral costero (MIC) en Argentina son casi inexistentes. Al sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina) es necesaria una planificación debido a la intensidad de la erosión costera que afecta en especial las zonas urbanizadas. Es necesario el trazado de estrategias de MIC que se puedan aplicar en toda la zona de forma sostenible. En este proceso es fundamental la participación y compromiso de los actores sociales. Por este motivo se construye una guía metodológica para un MIC con la participación social y se aplica a la localidad de Pehuen Co. Se obtuvo que la erosión costera y la estacionalidad turística son los ejes fundamentales, tanto para la visión científica como para la social. Sobre estos se delinearon acciones y estrategias a corto, medio y largo plazo e indicadores de seguimiento. Es necesario el compromiso de las autoridades locales, en trabajo conjunto con los actores sociales, para el correcto funcionamiento de los MIC.Palabras clave: Manejo Integral Costero; Indicadores Ambientales; Erosión; Estacionalidad Turística, Pehuen Co (Argentina).METHODOLOGICAL GUIDE FOR COASTAL MANAGEMENT INTEGRAL APPLIED TO PEHUEN CO (ARGENTINA)ABSTRACTThe integrated coastal managements (ICM) in Argentina are limited.
