Abstract
This chapter explores the concept of integrated coastal zone management as it is evolving today, with special emphasis on its usefulness to maritime developing nations. The paper has two basic objectives, first, to describe the origins of the concept of integrated coastal zone planning and management and, especially, to layout the key developments relative to coastal management that took place at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and secondly, to provide an account of the fundamentals of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) as they might apply to developing nations.
