Coastal and Marine Governance and Protection

Formulation of coastal and marine policies is the first step in the development of action plans that address the challenges faced by coastal and marine areas and associated human activities. This Reprint, entitled ＂Coastal and Marine Governance and Protection＂, presents relevant experiences and techniques throughout the world that address the absence or limited implementation of effective coastal policies, legal frameworks, and governance mechanisms. The essays offer different methodologies and case studies focusing on coastal areas and watersheds, marine protected areas, citizen science, community engagement, environmental justice, complex governance frameworks, and capacity building for multi-hazard management.
