This report seeks to present a review of the current status of coastal governance with regard to its compatibility with Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) in Sri Lanka. The purpose of this review is to support the preparatory programme of work of the Mangroves For the Future (MFF) initiative, and as such represents one of several studies commissioned that are to feed into this planning process for each participating country. To this end, it is envisaged the report will provide a resource for ICM practitioners and policy planners who may be involved with the MFF process both at the national and regional levels.

Regarding the more than 700 efforts and significant investments in integrated coastal management (ICM) initiated in over 140 countries since the 1960s, typically only limited anecdotal information exists on their environmental, socioeconomic, and institutional impacts. To date, only a few examples exist of development and application of indicators to support ICM, and to facilitate accountability and adaptive management. To fill this gap, this dissertation analyzes the use of indicators for ICM assessment in two cases: The United States and the European Union. In the United States, indicators have been developed at the request of Congress to improve the accountability of the Coastal Zone Management Program, while in the EU indicators have been developed as information tools to assist with the implementation of a Council and Parliament recommendation on ICM. The dissertation reviews environmental, socioeconomic, and governance performance indicators used for ICM. Notwithstanding socioeconomic and political differences, analysis of the two case studies reveals a number of commonalities in the approach taken and the indicators utilized. A framework tailored to the different stages and elements of the ICM policy cycle helps track the progress and institutionalization of ICM at different spatial scales. A set of indicators for the state of the coast, driving forces, and pressures helps to place ICM efforts in context, while more specific indicators on outcomes and impacts can guide the measurement of ICM results. Crucial in the determination of results is the availability of baseline information and time series on the state of the coast and the assessment of the contribution of ICM initiatives to change human behaviors and their impact on coastal conditions. In terms of further research, this dissertation underscores the need to articulate ICM goals and objectives to monitor and evaluate progress and performance, review program logic and assumptions, and adapt to changing conditions and progressive achievements. Despite preliminary experimentation, further efforts are required to refine the use of indicators to help isolate the effects of human activities on coastal ecosystems, balancing development and economic priorities with long-term environmental sustainability.

Growing pressure from increasingly diverse human activities coupled with climate change impacts threaten the functional integrity of coastal ecosystems around the globe. A multi-disciplinary approach towards understanding drivers, pressures and impacts in the coastal zone requires effective integration of data and information in policy and management, combining expertise from nature and social science, to reach a balanced and sustainable development of the coastal zone. This important book comprises the proceedings of The International Symposium on Integrated Coastal Zone Management, which took place in Arendal, Norway between 3-7 July 2011. The main objective of the Symposium was to present current knowledge and to address issues on advice and management related to the coastal zone. The major themes of papers included in this book are: Coastal habitats and ecosystem services Adaptation/mitigation to change in coastal systems Coastal governance Linking science and management Comprising a huge wealth of information, this timely and well-edited volume is essential reading for all those involved in coastal zone management around the globe. All libraries in research establishments and universities where marine, aquatic and environmental sciences, and fisheries and aquatic sciences are studied and taught will need copies of this important volume on their shelves.

by Elisabeth Mann Borgese Founder and Honorary President International Ocean Institute Adalberto Vallega has been, for decades, a master and great teacher of integrated coastal management and Mediterranean cooperation. This new book, of an almost en cyclopaedic scope, is a most original contribution to the rapidly growing literature on the subject, of equal value to the academic community which will greatly appreciate the theoretical, historic and philosophical underpinning of the work, and to the practi tioner, the planner, regulator and manager, who will find in these pages most useful "checklists" for his duties and responsibilities. Vallega perceives the need for Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) in the broader context of the ongoing third industrial revolution, which he calls the trans-industrial stage, in its interaction with climate change. There have been profound changes in the economies of the industrialized coun tries. The development of the new High Technologies, including micro-electronics, genetic engineering, new materials, has accelerated the transition from an economic system based primarily on production to one based very largely on services. This, in turn, has facilitated "globalization" of production systems and services, including the financial system, as well as the migration of people The ongoing global "Great Peo ple's Migration" is, generally, from the hinterland to the coasts where, already today, over 60 percent of the human population resides, exercising unprecedented pressures on the coastal and marine environment. Clearly, this justifies the current emphasis, at global, regional and national levels, on the need for coastal management.

Integrated coastal management (ICM) is widely accepted throughout the world as the best approach to dealing with coastal issues. The 1990s saw a proliferation of legislative reform processes worldwide. This aimed at supporting the implementation of ICM. Despite many international environmental treaties, declarations and other promises of action, the quality of coastal environments continues to deteriorate while the demand for coastal resources has increased in most of the world. This publication, in its practical guidance, will be especially valuable to anyone involved in the development, drafting or implementation of a legal or institutional framework to promote ICM. It is enhanced by illustrative examples from a range of countries that are at various stages of developing and implementing legislation to promote ICM.

Coastal zones are critical multiple-use resources, under pressure from constant demands from different sources - conservation, economic growth and social welfare. This book identifies the dilemmas of managing conservation and development in coastal areas. It offers important information on the management, conservation and social implications of coastal resources. The authors present a variety of participatory methods and techniques that can be used to show the success or otherwise of the different uses and how they affect the users. Their interdisciplinary analysis draws upon scientific knowledge as well as the latest social science insights on property rights and governance. The book is intended for researchers and students in geography, development studies and environmental planning, and also for practitioners in natural resource management and coastal zone management.
