{"product_id":"9789048149223","title":"Coastal Zone Management Imperative for Maritime Developing Nations","description":"\u003ch1\u003eCoastal Zone Management Imperative for Maritime Developing Nations\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHaq, B.U.; Kullenberg, Gunnar; Stel, Jan H.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnthropogenic transformation of the coastal zone continues at a  steady pace, especially in the developing maritime countries, where  coastal resources are often crucial to national economies. However,  exploitation of these resources is often indiscriminate, ill planned,  or carried out without adequate scientific knowledge. This leads to  rapid resource depletion, and often irreversible environmental  degradation. The 1992 Rio de Janeiro UN Conference on Environment and  Development recognized the expediency of an integrated and sustainable  use of all coastal resources, functions and services grounded on sound  scientific data. \u003cbr\u003e  The present volume is based on the 1994 international workshop  \u003cem\u003eIntegrated Coastal Zone Management\u003c\/em\u003e, and brings together  contributions by leading specialists both on basic concepts and on  applications of coastal management. The work is divided into six  parts, dealing with the conceptual framework of ICZM; regional and  global aspects of coastal management; environmental assessment in  ICZM; capacity building and technology transfer; monitoring and  environmental analysis; and case studies and status of ICZM plans. The  book also incorporates an interactive ICZM planning module, COSMO,  which can be of use in designing a management plan for a coast.  Attention is also given to long-term environmental effects of  present-day actions. It is hoped that COSMO will prove an additional  learning tool for ICZM practitioners and enhance the value of the  book. \u003cbr\u003e  This work is intended to give a broad coverage of conceptual and  technical aspects of ICZM, and will be of use to operational  executives as well as students of ICZM, environmental economists,  policy-makers and senior managers in the international development  agencies and governmental and non-governmental organizations. It can  be recommended as a textbook and as a reference work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048149223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048149223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1066-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 394\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359159251084,"sku":"9789048149223","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048149223.jpg?v=1755103128","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048149223","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
