“…While connecting the dots in the literature on 'legal and policy frameworks' and 'science-policy integration for ICZM,' new literature on 'coastal sustainability' and 'SDGs for oceans and the coasts' provides suggestions based on international environmental law (IEL) and United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 1982;Vaȋdianu et al, 2020). However, the concepts of "ICZM for coastal sustainability', 'ICZM for coastal cities,' 'legal-governance of coastal cities,' and 'science-policy integration in ICZM' under international law and policy standards are not analyzed in a single context throughout the literature Chan et al, 2019).…”

“…Most of the literature suggests that the integration of authorities governing atmospheric pollution shall collaborate with environmental and marine authorities to observe coastal flood risk and ocean acidification as relative problems (Kudrenickis et al, 2016). Literature also highlighted the national efforts to integrate governance of port, shipping, and coastal cities governance within ICZM systems under IEL and UNCLOS (Rees et al, 2018, p. 14;Schlüter et al, 2020;Vaȋdianu et al, 2020). The efforts to protect coastal ecosystems are regarding applying preventive and precautionary measures in planning and while implementing, including prior assessment and systematic observation (Vince and Hardesty, 2017).…”

“…Such scientific knowledge in policymaking is also forwarded in the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and Paris Agreement (Rothenberg and Nicksin, 2008;Miola et al, 2011;Galaz et al, 2012). Such integration of scientific knowledge into policymaking forwards diverse approaches of ICZM at various levels (Rees et al, 2018, p. 14;Schlüter et al, 2020;Vaȋdianu et al, 2020). CLR suggested that aspects of science-policy integration are regarding the application of systematic observation, which should be a national agenda implemented through sub-national and local authorities (Vince and Hardesty, 2017).…”

Literature on integrated coastal zonal management (ICZM) for coastal sustainability from a legal perspective provided significant measures. Recently, sustainable development goals (SDGs) have become a focus in ICZM literature, which establishes coastal goals and connects these goals with other goals. Although integrating coastal goals into ICZM under international law challenges the existing models presented in the literature, the comprehensive literature review (CLR) methodology is appropriate for observing the current literature and provides a way-forward for coastal goals. Therefore, through this research, a CLR on ICZM literature is conducted to observe how far SDGs are integrated for coastal sustainability. The CLR identified that coastal city governance is a pertinent part of ICZM, and the coastal goals are devised in the form of environmental goals of SDG – 14 (life below water). This CLR examines the anthropogenic connections of waste, sanitation, and emissions management and urban planning with coastal ecosystems under the ICZM system. For such purposes, governance tools of science-policy integration under international law and policy for sustainable development are utilized to form an obligatory framework. The CLR further provided coordination, adaptivity, monitoring, and capacity-building tools, which were utilized thoroughly throughout the literature and can be incorporated with the SDGs in a multilevel governance framework of ICZM. Throughout the study, international law formulating SDGs is pivotal to be transplanted successfully into the ICZM governance processes.

“…However, in this study the limits of the coastline are defined based on the methodology used in a national project [61], coinciding with the boundaries of the territorial-administrative units situated at the seashore; the area spans over 3470.9 km 2 and has a maximum width of 50 km. The area described above was chosen because it is the only Romanian coastline; in addition, it is representative for a European country undergoing post-communist transition, and the different environmental impacts generated by it [62]. Moreover, the Romanian coast is an extremely dynamic system [63].…”

“…The resulting study area, labeled in the article as 'Romanian shoreline', consists of 18 units with a broad variation of ranks (according to their national importance), areas (from about 10 to 800 km 2 ), and population (from less than 1000 to over 300,000) ( Table 1). The area described above was chosen because it is the only Romanian coastline; in addition, it is representative for a European country undergoing post-communist transition, and the different environmental impacts generated by it [62].

The importance of studying coastal areas is justified by their resources, ecosystem services, and key role played in socio-economic development. Coastal landscapes are subject to increasing demands and pressures, requiring in-depth analyses for finding appropriate tools or policies for a sustainable landscape management. The present study addresses this issue globally, based on case studies from three continents: Romania (Europe), Algeria (Africa), and Vietnam (Asia), focusing on the anthropogenic pressure resulting from land use/land cover change or urban sprawl, taking into account the role of socioeconomic and political factors. The methodology consisted of producing maps and computing and analyzing indicators, correlating geospatial and socio-economic data in a synergistic manner to explore the changes of landscapes, and identify the specific driving forces. The findings show that the pressure of urbanization and tourism on coastal areas increased, while the drivers and impacts vary. Urbanization is due to derogatory planning in Romania and Algeria, and different national and local goals in Vietnam. The two drivers determine local exemptions from the national regulations, made for profit. In addition to the need for developing and enforcing policies for stopping the degradation and restoring the ecosystems, the findings underline the importance of international cooperation in policy development.

Managing Land Sea Interactions: Case Studies of Coastal Governance in Four EU Member States

Under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, EU member states are committed to delivering Good Environmental Status in EU marine and coastal areas but the risk of damage from land based pollutants is rising, along with increased economic uses and activities in marine and coastal areas. While it is accepted that land sea interactions need to be managed, and uses and activities in our marine and coastal areas must be regulated, the complexity and dynamic nature of land sea connections create challenges for governance systems. This chapter reviews the marine and coastal management systems in operation in Ireland, Romania, Spain and France. Using relevant case studies at national, sub national and local level, we assess their capacity to manage complex and dynamic land sea interactions. We further examine their ability to achieve integrated, multiscalar and cross sectoral governance of their marine and coastal areas. Recommendations to assist EU member states who are developing marine and coastal governance systems are also provided.
