How is the balance between the socio-economic and environmental needs resolved by planning and management in this coastal area?
In 1997, the ICZM was introduced and aimed to ensure sustainable coastal development in a coral sea environment.
The ICZM seeks, over the long-term, to balance environmental, socio-economic, cultural and recreational objectives, done by:
Monitoring, Beach Tourism Control, Increasing Biodiversity and Improvements on Habitats.
Monitoring:
-Coral problems monitored by experts.
-Water quality + beach changes above+below water line monitored to show how sediment is being moved.
-3 monitoring cameras.
-A event aims to engage Gulf nations in coral conservation.
Gov. investment in environmental audits and monitoring.
-Scientists identifying trends (e.g. how grain size has changed).
Beach Tourism Control:
-No fishing without permits to prevent over fishing.
-No litter dropping to reduce effects of tourism on the marine ecosystem.
Increasing Biodiversity and Improvements on Habitats:
-To create new sites where coral can colonise and create a reef.
-Reduction of pollution from construction, residential areas and hotels.
North Norfolk Coastline
Socio-economic needs:
-Protect the environment as a source of revenue from tourism + recreation --> especially salt marshes, beaches + dunes.
-Improve access to area for shipping+fishing boats, and vehicles: lack motorway access which limits inwards investment by businesses
-Maintain coastal defences to reduce the risk of flooding of important historic / residential / business centres.
-Diversifying the economy: away from relying on seasonal tourism and agriculture to a range of skilled, service jobs to increase wealth in the area and reduce out migration of young people.
-Build affordable housing: grown as migration of retirees and growth of 2nd homes.
