	Coastal Management Fellowship
		The Coastal Management Fellowship was established in 1996 to provide on-the-job education and training opportunities in coastal resource management and policy for postgraduate students and to provide project assistance to state coastal zone management programs.
		The program matches postgraduate students with state coastal zone programs to work on projects proposed by the state and selected by the fellowship sponsor, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center.
		A formal evaluation of the Coastal Management Fellowship Program was completed in October 2007.

	Coastal Management in Denmark
		Coastal zone management in Denmark is mostly being established through gradual harmonisation and co-operation of the administrative and legislative framework, through the physical planning system and through environmental legislation.
		Coastal zone management objectives are incorporated into the planning system, and regional plans can provide guidelines for the rational use of coastal areas of a region, including planning of recreational activities and facilities.
		Management of the marine area is the responsibility of the State and is subject to sectoral legislation.

	Coastal management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coastal management or coastal defence is used throughout the world for many different purposes, but predominantly to reduce coastal erosion and flooding.
		The term coastal defence is the more traditional term, but coastal management has become more popular as the field has expanded to include techniques that allow erosion to claim land.
		The earliest managed retreat in the UK was an area of 0.8 ha at Northey Island in Essex, that was flooded in 1991.

	GSE811 Coastal Management Course
		Management of coastal resources has much in common with other areas of environmental management and the ideas, methods, tools, and practical experience from areas you might be familiar with, can all contribute to improving our understanding of coastal management.
		Coastal management is a multi-disciplinary activity and the unit will attempt to evaluate the appropriateness of an interdisciplinary approach.
		Coastal management is still as much an "art" as a "science" and intuition seems to play a large part in our current approach.

	Taylor & Francis Journals: Welcome
		Coastal Management is a peer-reviewed, applied research journal dedicated to exploring the technical, legal, political, social, and policy issues relating to the use of coastal resources and environments on a global scale.
		As a leader in the publication and debate of ideas central to marine affairs, Coastal Management serves as a forum for knowledge exchange among professionals involved in the advancement of coastal management programs in both developed and developing countries.
		Current areas of focus include coastal tourism, biodiversity in the coastal environment, seaport and waterfront management and planning, coastal hazards management and sea level rise, ocean policy and coastal state planning, coastal law and administration, water quality in the coastal environment, and international coastal management.

	UNEP-Caribbean Environment Programme_Coastal Zone Management
		Integrated coastal zone management was defined at an International Coastal Zone Workshop in 1989 as "a dynamic process in which a coordinated strategy is developed and implemented for the allocation of environmental, socio-cultural, and sustainable multiple uses of the coastal zone." (CAMPNET, 1989).
		A strategy for integrated coastal zone management, though not yet fully implemented everywhere in the Wider Caribbean region, is the key for ensuring the survival and sustainable development of the coastal resources in the region.
		Coastal tourism, and especially ecotourism, have the potential of becoming economic incentives to facilitate sustainable development and effective resource management in coastal areas of the Caribbean and elsewhere.

	Coasts and Marine - Coastal Management
		The management of marine, coastal and estuarine environments is an important component of the Government of South Australia's planning strategy.

		Monitoring by the Coastal Protection Branch using brass rods installed in the seabed (see photo) shows that, after the initial large depth increase due to movement of the erosion scarp, deepening continues for a number of years after the seagrass has been lost.

	Coastal Zone Management - UNEP Tourism
		The world's coastal areas are thus exposed to rapid urban growth, increasing population pressure, expansion of major industries, particularly tourism, and extensive exploitation of marine resources.
		For example, there is often conflict in coastal areas over access to the coastline, which is required for tourist beaches, marinas, aquaculture and cooling for power generation.
		But coastal resources cannot be sustainably used by any interest group as their exclusive right.

		To assure the continued vitality of these coastal regions, we need to understand how human activities along the coast are impacting the natural ecosystems in these areas.
		Similarly, by decade's end, it should also be possible to predict outbreaks of HAB and hypoxia several days in advance of their occurrence and to have much more detailed and accurate information about the severity and the duration of any given outbreak.
		Armed with this new information, coastal communities will be better prepared to plan for and mitigate the impacts of the sea level change and other coastal hazards, and will be increasingly able to issue advanced warnings for outbreaks of hypoxia and HAB and accurately predict how long the coastal areas will be impacted.
