(a) Review of instruments relevant to IMCAM

The coastal zone provides a number of important resources and functions critical to human society and natural systems.

Such a large scale movement of populations to coastal areas, coupled with a significant increase in economic activity and industrialization along the coastline including oil and gas exploration, mining, fish farming, tourism and the development of ports would put enormous pressure on coastal areas.

Much of the world apos s population lives along the coast.
