“…Therefore, beach site selection is also a procedure that should not be overlooked by the local authorities. This is also important especially in developed countries when issuing licenses for different activities on the coastal reach (Lester, 2013). Moreover, public share and equal benefit policy from the coast or beaches are also stressed in the coastal law (URL-1, 2015).…”

Coastal management of recreational beaches is an important topic that needs to use scientific approaches when decisions have to be taken by an authority or a stakeholder. Coastal recreation, which mainly depends on tourism activities, is strongly linked to the management perspective of a region which is generally the municipal authorities in Turkey. Therefore, reliable quantitative management strategies become an issue of high priority in the management of recreational beaches. In this study, the problem of beach quality assurance criteria was investigated using a hybrid decision-making approach. To eliminate the subjectivity of decision makers and obtain reliable quantitative data, an expert group was invited for an evaluation process consisting of 5 main and 32 sub-criteria related to beach quality using pairwise comparisons and scoring. The results of the study revealed that 'physical quality' is the most important criterion followed by 'ecological and economic' criteria set.Specifically, cleanliness (9·20%), availability of a discharge node (7·30%) and security (7·22%) dominated the quality assurance policy when deciding on recreational beach locations. It is concluded that quantitative evaluation of beach quality assurance criteria can help in promotion and protection strategies in coastal landscape management.

“…We demonstrate how these attributes and considerations can be applied in conservation planning and management, using California (USA) as a case study. The state of California (USA) is an ideal study area for examining protection of coastal wildness with its long, ecologically diverse coastline, and history of coastal protection and strong coastal policy (Lester, 2013). About 68% of California's population of 38.4 million people lives within 48 km of the coast (NOAA Office for Coastal Management https:// coast.noaa.gov/states/california.html).…”

Conservation of coastal biodiversity and associated ecosystem services requires protection and management for attributes of coastal wildness, which we define to include physical and ecological intactness and connectivity, native species and habitat diversity, and limited human disturbance. Coastal wildness is threatened by high demand for access to and development of coastal margins; sea level rise exacerbates this threat. As a case study, California (USA), a biodiversity hotspot, has a network of marine and terrestrial protected areas along the coast and strong coastal policy. While 35% of California’s coast has wildness attributes, only 9% of California’s coast is characterized as wild and also protected on both land and in the adjacent waters. A multi-tiered approach is needed to incorporate wild coast attributes into conservation planning and protection of coastal areas. A coastal wildness designation is needed, as well as policies that manage for wildness attributes in existing protected areas.

“…Integrated coastal management (ICM) as a type of coastal management is a government-led management system that attempts to use the legal system. In the United States, the pioneer of coastal management, ICM is the center of coastal management, and the ICM system under the Magnuson Patrice Law of the Gulf of California is famous [3].

Multilevel Management System for Coastal Areas by Network Governance

Coastal areas are a critical space for humans and other living things and must be properly managed. Coastal management is complicated by the diverse use of coastal areas by diverse individuals. The proposed method is integrated coastal area management that integrates various sectors. Satoumi has been proposed and practiced in Japan and is one of the voluntary coastal zone managements of shallow water. The author proposed a multilevel management system with Satoumi as a basic element. The multilevel management system manages the waters under the jurisdiction of prefectures through multistep efforts such as providing Satoumi, Satoumi networks, and administrative coastal infrastructure. The author also proposed that multistep efforts be bundled with network governance. In this report, after introducing the multistep management system, the efforts of coastal zone management in Shizugawa Bay and the coast of Kagawa Prefecture in Japan were evaluated as a multistep management system and network governance, and the characteristics and issues of each approach were extracted. Furthermore, the effectiveness of multilevel management systems and network governance were examined.
