“…While a national ICZM policy has yet to be formalized, ICZM pilot projects had reportedly been undertaken in three states -Sarawak, Sabah, and Penang. The implementations faced challenges in Penang where issues such as overlapping jurisdiction, lack of clear legislation, and assumed favor of profit (from coastal reclamation projects) over conservation hampered efforts (Pedersen et al, 2005;Albotoush and Tan, 2019).…”

“…Here, we treated ISMP and ICZM efforts separately. In Penang, the ISMP helped to address many vital coastal management issues such as the loss of mangroves, overexploitation of coastal fisheries and poor water quality (NRE and PKSD, 2010;Albotoush and Tan, 2019).…”

“…Additionally, not all mangroves are categorized as reserves; some are outside Forestry Department remits and fall into a legislative gap when it comes to management and conservation. Similarly, in ICZM, overlapping jurisdiction and lack of legislation that directly addresses coastal zone management also exists and this affects the performance of different departments within the federal government (Pedersen et al, 2005;Albotoush and Tan, 2019).…”

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have been advocated to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. The uptake of NbS differs regionally with some countries exhibiting greater uptake than others. The success of NbS also differs regionally with varying environmental conditions and social-ecological processes. In many regions, the body of knowledge, particularly around the efficacy of such efforts, remains fragmented. Having an “inventory” or “tool box” of regionally-trialed methods, outcomes and lessons learnt can improve the evidence base, inform adaptive management, and ultimately support the uptake of NbS. Using Malaysia as a case study, we provide a comprehensive overview of trialed and tested NbS efforts that used nature to address societal challenges in marine and coastal environments (here referring to mangroves, seagrass, coral reefs), and detailed these efforts according to their objectives, as well as their anticipated and actual outcomes. The NbS efforts were categorized according to the IUCN NbS approach typology and mapped to provide a spatial overview of IUCN NbS effort types. A total of 229 NbS efforts were collated, representing various levels of implementation success. From the assessment of these efforts, several key actions were identified as a way forward to enhance the uptake of Nature-based Solutions for informing coastal sustainable development policy and planning. These include increasing education, training, and knowledge sharing; rationalizing cooperation across jurisdictions, laws, and regulations; enhancing environmental monitoring; leveraging on existing policies; enabling collaboration and communication; and implementing sustainable finance instruments. These findings can be used to inform the improved application and uptake of NbS, globally.

“…ICZM is a continuous decisionmaking process for the sustainable use, development, and conservation of coastal environments and their resources (Tiller et al, 2012). ICZM has been widely recognized as an essential paradigm for the sustainable coastal zone and the most appropriate process for dealing with long-term challenges (Koutrakis et al, 2011), such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, land use change, and environmental pollution (Deboudt et al, 2008;Pinto and Martins, 2013;Gari et al, 2014;Allenbach et al, 2015;Albotoush and Shau-Hwai, 2019;Khelil et al, 2019;Papatheochari and Coccossis, 2019). To date, ICZM has been implemented in a large number of coastal countries, such as China, the USA, Australia, and Spain, and certain achievements have been made (Chen et al, 2009;Wheeler and Peterson, 2010;Bell et al, 2013;Botero et al, 2013).…”

Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) has been regarded as an effective tool for achieving sustainable development of coastal ecosystems and reducing potential human health risks, but questions remain regarding its research status and future directions. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using screened 6151 publications collected from Web of Science Core Collection databases. An exponential increase trend of publications revealed the continuous and strong research interests for ICZM worldwide. The most high-yield country, institution, category, and journal were USA, NOAA, Environmental Sciences, and Ocean & Coastal Management, respectively. Regarding the number of publications, academic influence, and international collaboration, the developed countries occupied the predominant positions. Co-word analysis reveals eight important topics: challenge, service, management and planning, method and technology, development, process, area, and system. Relevant future directions of the ICZM field were proposed based on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. This review addresses the question of what focal topics in the ICZM field and what should be focused on in future works by objective and quantitative methods. Our results provide valuable insights into the evolution of the ICZM field and the sustainable development of the coastal areas.

“…Maritime clusters are a benchmark of the cluster concept, insofar that almost all maritime matters require an integrated and collective approach (Albotoush and Tan Shau-Hwai 2019;Kozhikkodan Veettil and Quang 2019;Marinho et al 2019;Samoilys et al 2019); this manifests itself in exactly the same manner that industry clusters comprise of an agglomeration of industrial activity, wherein networks of innovation and knowledge compete and cooperate towards the resulting benefits for the whole region.…”
