A general context of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is used to explore issues, constraints, and potential solutions. The role of geomorphology is examined with a view to identifying how shore management plans can contribute to improved coastal management. The report also demonstrates how rigorous economic tools can provide insights into the economic impacts of extreme climate events and of economic losses from environmental degradation. It concludes with options for consideration in the years ahead in relation to pilot projects and interventions, technical assistance, institutional strengthening, and monitoring, evaluation, research, and development.
