Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is the integrated planning and management of coastal resources and environments. The objective of ICZM is to obtain co-ordinated management of the coastal zone as a whole in relation to local, regional, national and international goals. ICZM is based on the physical, environmental, socio-economic and political interconnections. It is a continuous and dynamic process, which can unite government and community, science and management, and sector and public interests in developing and implementing an integrated approach. ICZM implies the integration of environmental protection goals into economic and technical decision making processes with the objective of achieving sustainable development.
