Coastal conservation and competing needs

Katrina Brown examines the management dilemmas created when conservation, economic growth and social welfare make demands on the same coastal resources. The book brings environmental and social perspectives together, including discussion of property rights and governance. It also presents participatory methods for assessing how different uses of coastal areas work and how they affect the people who depend on them. The focus is both practical and analytical: coastal resource management is considered alongside the social implications of decisions about conservation and development.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Researchers and students in geography, development studies or environmental planning.
  • Practitioners working in natural resource or coastal zone management.

Book overview

Coastal zones are critical multiple-use resources, under pressure from constant demands from different sources - conservation, economic growth and social welfare. This book identifies the dilemmas of managing conservation and development in coastal areas. It offers important information on the management, conservation and social implications of coastal resources. The authors present a variety of participatory methods and techniques that can be used to show the success or otherwise of the different uses and how they affect the users. Their interdisciplinary analysis draws upon scientific knowledge as well as the latest social science insights on property rights and governance. The book is intended for researchers and students in geography, development studies and environmental planning, and also for practitioners in natural resource management and coastal zone management.
