Abstract

The five maritime countries of the South Asian region, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, share a complex legacy of social, cultural and environmental realities that characterize the historical and geographical identity of the subcontinent. The coastal areas of these countries have a number of shared natural resources, and many similar environmental and developmental problems. Different perceptions of the importance of the coastal zone exist in the South Asian countries, but the awareness of the special nature of the coastal zone seems to be growing in the region. The countries are increasingly recognizing the ecological and economic significance of their coastal areas and the problems associated with the development of coastal resources.
