“…Numerous studies identified by the search of relevant terms (see Table 1) from titles, abstracts, and keywords accessed through the online article repository were demonstrations of ecosystem based management (EBM); integrated coastal zone management (ICZM); driver, pressure, state, impact, response (DPSIR); or similar frameworks (e.g., Crawford et al, 1993;Fletcher et al, 2014;. These articles highlighted the ongoing effort to incorporate stakeholders and human uses in the larger discussion of coastal ecosystem management and often provided concrete schemes for direct application to policy and management decisions.…”

Coastal ecosystem goods and services (EGS) have steadily gained traction in the scientific literature over the last few decades, providing a wealth of information about underlying coastal habitat dependencies. This meta-analysis summarizes relationships between coastal habitats and final ecosystem goods and services (FEGS) users. Through a "weight of evidence" approach synthesizing information from published literature, we assessed habitat classes most relevant to coastal users. Approximately 2,800 coastal EGS journal articles were identified by online search engines, of which 16% addressed linkages between specific coastal habitats and FEGS users, and were retained for subsequent analysis. Recreational (83%) and industrial (35%) users were most cited in literature, with experiential-users/hikers and commercial fishermen most prominent in each category, respectively. Recreational users were linked to the widest diversity of coastal habitat subclasses (i.e., 22 of 26). Whereas, mangroves and emergent wetlands were most relevant for property owners. We urge EGS studies to continue surveying local users and identifying habitat dependencies, as these steps are important precursors for developing appropriate coastal FEGS metrics and facilitating local valuation. In addition, understanding how habitats contribute to human well-being may assist communities in prioritizing restoration and evaluating development scenarios in the context of future ecosystem service delivery.

“…In 1972, participants in the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment pushed for international agreements to address ocean dumping, vessel source pollution and trade in endangered species (Cicin-Sain and Knecht 1993). More recently, the Agenda 21 mandate put forth at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) has stimulated the framing of ICM programs Johnston 1993;UNCED 1993;Hall 1998 (Olsen 1990;Crawford et al 1993). Technical assistance programs implemented through United Nations-affiliated research institutions and bilateral aid agencies based in Europe and North America are the core propagators of ICM.…”

“…Aggressive marketing equals self-preservation and perhaps explains the ambitious declaration made by the IUCN at the 1992 World Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas that by 2000, 20% of the world's coastal zone should be designated as coastal or marine protected areas (Jones 1994). The self-preservation motive also explains the continuous call for scientific data, environmental quality monitoring and institutional capacity-building in support of the "sustainable development" core of ICM (Coughanowr and Kullenberg 1993;Crawford et al 1993;Olsen 1993;Schröder 1993;Cicin-Sain and Knecht 1998).…”

“…These raised the prospect of "the coast" as a definable, manageable and value-laden entity rather than a frontier transition zone between land and sea. Academics and resource management practitioners in the U.S. led the construction of a subdiscipline around "the coast" and developed the Integrated Coastal Management model as a cornerstone of the institutionalizing field (Salm and Clark 1984;Olsen 1990;Sorensen and McCreary 1990;Cicin-Sain and Knecht 1993;Crawford et al 1993;Sorensen 1993).…”

Coming to Terms with “Integrated Coastal Management”: Problems of Meaning and Method in a New Arena of Resource Regulation

This paper traces the emergence of coastal management in the late twentieth century and assesses the social and spatial implications of the new Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) philosophy that guides national regulatory programs worldwide. A review of the epistemology of ICM reveals its link to the United Nations marine regulatory regime (the Law of the Sea) and the sustainable development paradigm embraced at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. I suggest that the resulting regulatory regime facilitates the opening of coastal zones worldwide to aggressive state and global capital investment. By promoting the overhaul of existing social and spatial organization in coastal zones and by asserting the primacy of resource access for modern economic interests, ICM may introduce more rather than less social conflict and ecological degradation. To illustrate this dynamic, I examine the case of coral reef management in general, and in the context of the Sri Lankan ICM program.
