Summary

Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is a process which seeks to ‘join up’ the different policies that have an effect on the coast whilst bringing together stakeholders to inform, support, and implement these policies.

The EU Demonstration Programme undertaken during the 1990s identified a wide range of environmental and social issues at the coast. Interrelated biological, physical and human issues facing European coastal zones were also investigated and the causes were traced to a number of underlying problems. These results provided the basis for a European Parliament and Council Recommendation concerning ICZM. The Recommendation proposed that Member States should conduct a national stocktake to analyse which actors, laws and institutions influence the planning and management of their coastal zones.

In March 2003, the UK Government commissioned Atkins to carry out a stocktake of the current framework for management of the coastal zone in the UK.
