Integrated coastal zone management is described as integrated because it

  • A.brings together the sectors, disciplines and levels of government
  • B.combines all of the coastal defences into one continuous structure
  • C.merges the land and the sea into a single legal jurisdiction
  • D.integrates the design calculations for every coastal structure

Answer: A

Correct answer: brings together the sectors, disciplines and levels of government

The integration is institutional and intellectual rather than physical. A coast is used by fishing, ports, tourism, conservation, housing and industry, studied by engineers, ecologists, economists and planners, and administered by local, regional and national bodies. Managing it sector by sector produces decisions that contradict one another, and the integrated approach exists to bring those views into one process.
