The concept and practice of ICZM is not yet well understood, although it has gained widespread acceptance as a management system and vehicle for rational and sustainable utilization of coastal zone resources and uses.ICZM may be described generally as the management of human activities for sustainable use of coastal resources through proper policy management and technological interventions.
