ICM Publications
Selected ICM Publications
In this section we first feature new
publications, and then provide a brief list of several major
references on ICM which present a good introduction to the
field, as well as information on where these references may
be obtained. We then provide a more detailed list of
publications in the field, including materials on ICM
concepts, methods, and case studies. A link to GPA's
Document Library is a recent addition to this
section.

The report, which is the result of a study for the Development Law Service, Legal Office, FAO, focuses on design of the legal and institutional framework for the management of coastal resources. It examines why various countries have introduced legislation to promote integrated coastal management, what these laws seek to achieve and the main legal issues which arise. The study reviews the legislation of a wide range of jurisdictions worldwide to highlight how different jurisdictions have dealt with legal issues in the field. Examples from around the world of promising legal innovations are presented, and their legal antecedents and implications are discussed.For further information contact: Development Law Service, Legal Office, FAO, Viale delle Terme Caracalla 00100 Rome, Italy.

This reference book is a compilation of information from various disciplines. The information is structured by four major categories: a description of the strategic approach to integrated coastal management, including concepts, problems, and solutions; a prescription of specific management techniques, planning instructions, and outcomes; a general compilation of information about coastal resources and management; and a collection of mini-case histories of coastal situations along with management techniques and their trials.For further information contact CRC Press, Inc., 2000 Corporate Blvd., N.W., Boca Raton, Florida 33431.

Produced within the context of a working party, in cooperation between the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the Intergovernmental Man and Biosphere Programme (MAB), the Intergovernmental Hydrology Programm (IHP) and the International Geographical Correlation Programme (IGCP), this essentially practical guide provides a tool for an integrated coastal management system to assist decision-makers and developers. The guide presents a proposed methodological approach, which comprises six stages: analysis of the problem, definition of coherent management units, qualification of coastal space, indicators and indices, information systems and orientation and proposals for objectives. Each stage is illustrated by a case study.For further information contact: Cecile Grignon-Logerot, The I.O.C.
