The Role of Forest Landscape Restoration in Supporting a Transition Towards More Sustainable Coastal Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Forest Landscape Restoration

Part of the book series: World Forests ((WFSE,volume 15))

Abstract

This paper presents a case for integrating Forest Landscape Restoration into the principles and practice of Integrated Coastal Management as a means of supporting the transition towards more sustainable use of coastal areas and coastal ecosystems. Two examples of non-sustainable use of coastal forest systems are presented to illustrate how Forest Landscape Restoration could be used to support the return of these systems to productive use as well as helping to maintain the health and productivity of other coastal ecosystems. The compatibility of the principles for Integrated Coastal Management and Forest Landscape Restoration is examined to illustrate how these two development planning and management mechanisms can be integrated. Common obstacles to the implementation of Integrated Coastal Management and Forest Landscape Restoration are identified and elements of good practice that can be used to overcome such obstacles are presented. The paper concludes with the identification of potential social and economic benefits that could be derived from integrating Forest Landscape Restoration into the principles and practice of Integrated Coastal Management.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term Coastal Zone is also used to define the zone of transition from purely marine to purely terrestrial environments, however this has lost favour as a result of growing recognition of the trans-boundary management considerations, such as changes in hydrology due to development in river catchments, that have a major impact on the management of coastal areas and human activities. The term Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) is used instead of Integrated Coastal Zone Management in recognition of the linkages between catchments, coastal areasand ecosystems, and marine areas and ecosystems. The term ICM will be used in this paper.
