| Popis: | The US Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 established a collaborative and voluntary Federal-State Coastal Zone Management Program (CZMP) which now covers over 99 per cent of the nation's coastline. By comparison, in Europe coastal management initiatives are a relatively recent phenomenon. While the need for integrated coastal zone management is widely recognised, the responses on a European scale are largely fragmented. This paper examines key features of the US CZMP and raises the question, would such an approach be appropriate and feasible in Europe ? The draft Water Framework Directive provides one model for a flexible ecosystem-based approach to coastal management. |
