Sustainability and integrated coastal management are part of a new trend in coastal management and they offer opportunities to address many future coastal concerns. The European Union has adopted eight principles of best practice for integrated coastal zone management...

One method of effectively dealing with this situation is through Integral Coastal Zone and Harbor Management (ICZ HM), based on a rational decision-making process in which economic, social, and environmental factors are considered. 

One of the objectives of the integral management of the coastal zone is to establish the dynamic interactions between the economy and the environment within the coastal system. While environmental conditions make a certain coastal zone attractive, the economic agents interact with the physical environment and modify it, altering the natural evolution process. This interaction may have significant environmental and economic consequences that need to be evaluated to exploit the coastal zone in a rational and sustainable way.
