(a) Multi temporal ERS 1 SAR images are very useful for land use and coastal zone management, including monitoring of changes in the coastal land cover and coastline at high and low tide and detection of oil spills

55. The study area was located along the northern coast of Central Java.

Berms are being constructed along vulnerable coastal areas.

The prospect of increased economic activity at the sea's edge will inevitably result in the increased movement of people to coastal areas.

F. Integrated ocean and coastal zone management

Last year, Hurricane Sandy caused a wall of water to engulf low lying coastal areas on the East Coast of the United States, particularly in New York and New Jersey. Such catastrophic events underscore the vulnerability of coastal regions worldwide to extreme weather events that produce intense storm surges (increased water depth at the coast) and large, powerful waves.

Wave power is restricted to coastal areas.

ACSAD is also working to increase communication and liaison between the north and south Mediterranean coasts as concerns soil degradation and land management through its MED coastal project.

The following projects for the coastline and sea areas have been initiated

Such raised earth parks are a low cost solution to the tsunami danger in low lying coastal areas. They use only local materials, provide a valuable community resource in normal times, and have the potential to save hundreds of thousands of lives when a tsunami strikes.

Threats of flooding in the Ecuadorian coastal region

I grew up on the coast of England in the '70s.

This means that, in fact, the majority of marine waste comes from coastal areas.

I wound up studying sea birds to try to stay in the coastal habitats that I so loved.

Similarly, the diminution of coastal forests had made localities in the coastal area more vulnerable to cyclones.

Coastal and marine resources

The main findings of the MED POL assessment of coastal litter in the Mediterranean are

(a) Review of instruments relevant to IMCAM

Considering the very slow rate of degradation of most marine litter items, a continuous input of large quantities of marine litter will result in a gradual increase of litter in the coastal and marine environment.

Such a large scale movement of populations to coastal areas, coupled with a significant increase in economic activity and industrialization along the coastline including oil and gas exploration, mining, fish farming, tourism and the development of ports would put enormous pressure on coastal areas.

The recent spate of devastation caused by these natural disasters brings into sharper focus the extreme vulnerability of low lying coastal areas and small island developing States.

Its major commercial applications included coastal zone and environmental monitoring, marine navigation, offshore oil and gas operation, natural disaster mitigation and coastal and deep ocean fishing.

Coastal States are also required to give due publicity to all these charts and lists of geographical coordinates.

Much of the world apos s population lives along the coast.

You might argue that the story, the history of civilizations, has been civilizations gathered around seas with the first ones around the Mediterranean, the more recent ones in the ascendents of Western power around the Atlantic.

10. The programme identifies important operational objectives and priority activities within the framework of five key programme elements integrated marine and coastal area management (IMCAM) marine and coastal living resources marine and coastal protected areas mariculture and alien species.

The large population in our coastal areas and in the islands has always looked to the sea for sustenance.

(b) National and regional capacity in the field of IMCAM

The implementation of cooperation plans to protect the Mediterranean environment, both coastal and marine, is therefore a priority.

The coastal zone will be one of the first areas affected by climate change.

At 1230 hours Israeli warplanes overflew coastal areas of the Shuf.

The Chinese mainland's coasts are surrounded by the Bohai sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China sea and the South China sea.

Coastal areas of the island were assumed to be the most vulnerable parts of the country.
