This series presents the results of an investigation by IUCN’s Global Change Programme into the possible implications of predicted global change for natural systems and their management. This publication examines issues specific to marine ecosystems.

This series presents the results of an investigation by IUCN’s Global Change Programme into the possible implications of predicted global change for natural systems and their management. This publication examines issues specific to terrestrial ecosystems.

This publication provides guidelines towards the development of coastal area plans to be applied at a national level, discussing coastal zone issues, patterns of use of the coastal zone, integrated approaches to management and planning in the context of conflict resolution, and models and information needs. Brief case studies illustrate the process to achieve integrated planning.

A straight forward presentation of the keynote papers and case studies prepared for the workshop on coastal marine biosphere serves held in 1989. The keynote papers together provide an excellent digest of the different factors to be considered in biosphere reserve planning, examining constraints across the full range of physical to socio-economic spheres. These are supplemented by case studies illustrating the practicalities of applying the biosphere reserve concept in a wide range of coastal environments.
