Abstract
The Mediterranean coast of Egypt suffers from a number of coastal problems as unplanned urbanization, land use conflicts, environmental degradation or shoreline retreat, that will be exacerbated by climate change. The problems are multi-dimensional and multi-located, and the Egyptian government has tried to respond to these challenges by implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM).
