“…Some authors and organizations prefer the appellation Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) (Fabbri, 1998;Forst, 2009;Gibson, McField, & Wells, 1998;Linton & Warner, 2003;Shi, Hutchinson, Yu, & Xu, 2001;Sarda, Avila, & Mora, 2005). Some scholars term it Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) (Henocque & Denis, 2001;Jeftic, 1996;Scialabba, 1998;Wang, Zou, & Zhu, 2000) whereas others simply prefer the appellation integrated coastal management (ICM) (Christie, 2005;Christie et al, 2005;Cicin-Sain & Belfiore, 2005;Cicin-Sain, Knecht, & Fisk, 1995;Olsen, 2003;Pollnac, & Pomeroy, 2005;Westmacott, 2001;Xue, Hong, & Charles, 2004;Zeidler, 1997). Whatever the dichotomy in the appellation of the coastal management approaches, the goals, objectives or aims, principles, and concepts remain the same.…”
