Drivers for Changes in the Coastal Zone

  • Chapter
Asia-Pacific Coasts and Their Management

Part of the book series: Coastal Systems and Continental Margins ((CSCM,volume 11))

  • 1024 Accesses

The land area of this region is characterized by rain forests, paddy fields, and countless islands, while the coastal area is characterized by its bio-geomorphology such as mangrove forests and coral reefs. Numerous large and small islands subdivide the region into different seas, which are connected with each other by a large number of passages and channels. Deep trenches, high mountain chains, many volcanoes, deep sea basins, and innumerable coral islands form a complexity of phenomena that are not found over such an extended area in any other part of the world.
