Status of Marine Pollution in the Context of Coastal Zone Management in Pakistan

  • Chapter
Coastal Zone Management Imperative for Maritime Developing Nations

Part of the book series: Coastal Systems and Continental Margins ((CSCM,volume 3))

Abstract

Murine Pollution control can be efficiently managed and mitigated through implementation of an integrated coastal zone management plan in a given coastal region. However, in formulating a coastal zone management plan basic scientific information and data is required for all the essential elements of the plan. A multi-sectoral approach leading to an integrated coastal zone management is imperative for these purposes.
