Abstract

Coastal management is an ongoing process, complicated by multiple challenges whose resolution of these challenges is made more acute by the ongoing contestation over place, interests, uses and values in coastal regions. Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) has been seen as the key to successful management with the term firmly embedded in the coastal policy lexicon. Yet, the issues facing coastal regions remained unresolved and the notion of integration is beset by an opaqueness that belies its effectiveness as a management approach. This chapter provides an overview of the key themes of ICZM. We argue that integration per se can no longer be seen as an end point, but as part of a process that takes account of, and connects, the ideas of conflict, knowledge and scale to build better engagement and governance. The transition away from technocratic management to a more cross sectoral conflict informed approach offers opportunities to reframe ICZM in a time of change and turbulence.
