The Coasts We Live In: Can There Be a Single Definition for a Coastal Zone?

Abstract: Throughout the history of humankind, people have settled along seashores. The gradual accumulation of population and industrial activity in coastal areas has created preconditions for coastalisation — the movement of people and socio-economic activity to marine coasts. To date, coastal areas have a higher rate of economic development, fostering migration and an influx of capital across the globe. Scholars and policymakers voice concerns about the asymmetry of regional development and the increasing anthropogen… Show more

“…By accounting for maritime knowledge flows in the delimitation of the coastal zone, we deepen our understanding of coastalization and enhance the methods of its registration. The traditional delimitation of the coastal zone (and coastalization) done by measuring the geographical proximity to the sea of human settlements [14,17] or the clustering of economic activity [15,16], could now be combined with an assessment of functions performed by entities. The extended understanding of the coastal economy was previously verified by Morrissey and O'Donoghue [22], who have mapped the inland communication within a maritime economic network.…”

“…Over the years the density of the population living in coastal areas has been increasing. The estimations vary depending on the research scope and the delimitation of the coastal zone in particular (Mikhaylov and Plotnikova, 2021) but the general trend has been verifiedthe urbanization and the sprawl of coastal cities and agglomerations (Barragan and de Andres, 2015).…”
