these issues have come about as a result of a gross underestimation of the value of coastal
land and water resources and the sophisticated policy making, planning management skills
required to fulfil development objectives without destroying renewable resources. Some
authors argue that it is the development pressures that are the principle issue, an alternative view would be that these pressures have to be dealt with and the answer lies in
developing improved management systems that can handle these pressures and make
more effective use of available capital, bio-geophysical and human resources. This
presents a major challenge in creating the knowledge and management skill required
to overcome constraints which hinder the development of multiple-use management
of the flows of economic and environmental goods and services generated by coastal
ecosystems. This suggests that a key issue is how to promote greater investment in interdisciplinary studies to develop the information and management guidelines to support integrated management for sustainable coastal resource development.
