It also looked at integrated coastal area and river basin management, which links freshwater and coastal and marine systems, highlighting land based sources of activities affecting the quality and uses of the coastal and marine environment.

Recognizing the importance of integrated, multidisciplinary and multisectoral coastal and ocean management at the national, subregional and regional levels,

Oceans and Coastal Areas Network (UN Oceans)

The UNEP Regional Seas Programme, covering 17 regions around the world and more than 140 coastal States and territories, provides a framework for regional agreements and conventions and their related action plans to protect the coastal and marine environment.

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

Recalling that the role of international cooperation and coordination on a bilateral basis and, where applicable, within a subregional, interregional, regional or global framework is to support and supplement the national efforts of coastal States to promote the integrated management and sustainable development of coastal and marine areas,

Within the context of national and regional efforts to promote integrated marine and coastal area management, networks of marine and coastal protected areas other conservation areas, and biosphere reserves provide useful and important management tools for different levels of conservation, management and sustainable use of marine and coastal biological diversity and resources.

Berms are being constructed along vulnerable coastal areas.

You see the rivers which are coming along the coast, and you see that white area which looks like Catalina Island, and that looks like an ocean.

(c) Coastal and marine resource issues should be addressed through the adoption of integrated coastal area management for the sustainable development of the marine environment and resources, including fisheries and aquaculture at the national and regional levels

Recalling that the role of international cooperation and coordination on a bilateral basis and, where applicable, within a subregional, interregional, regional or global framework is to support and supplement the national efforts of all States, including coastal States, to promote the integrated management and sustainable development of coastal and marine areas,

Conscious of the negative ecological impact of the hurricane on the coastal region and the inland rainforest,

And dead zones will get bigger and bigger and they'll start to merge, and we can imagine something like the dead zonification of the global, coastal ocean.

F. Integrated ocean and coastal zone management

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

Mangrove forests, in addition to providing vital coastal defences, were also a cornerstone of the region's economy.

A next phase, to extend this initiative to the coastal areas of other continental member States of the East African Regional Sea Action Plan, is under consideration.

8. Encourages coastal States to develop ocean policies and mechanisms on integrated management, including at the subregional and regional levels, and also including assistance to developing States in accomplishing these objectives

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

The legal issues to be dealt with include planning and regulation of the coastal zone, such as mangrove management and inshore fisheries.

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

The project, based on collaboration with water experts globally, collected data and information in 66 GIWA subregions on the state of international waters, freshwater basins, transboundary rivers, coastal marine waters and large marine ecosystems.

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

In that connection, UNEP and SPREP will work on a realistic and achievable work programme which will focus on regional seas, coastal degradation, land based sources of pollution, integrated watershed and coastal area management, waste management and promotion of the White Water to Blue Water Initiative, which is already being implemented in the Caribbean.

These cover such issues as chemical wastes and integrated approaches to the management of coastal areas and the conservation and management of marine resources and ecosystems.
