Abstract

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) provides a comprehensive framework for addressing the environmental, social, and economic challenges posed by urbanization, industrialization, and habitat loss in coastal areas. This paper explores strategies for implementing ICZM in highly developed coastal zones, emphasizing the role of multi-stakeholder participation, adaptive management, and ecosystem restoration. By reviewing advancements in 2023, it presents case studies and data-driven insights into mitigating the negative impacts of human activities while promoting sustainable coastal development.
