I need literature to made a report on integrated coastal management applied to the western Southamerica littoral, mainly Peru. Many places of the work are within the Humboldtian biogeographical region according to Sullivan and Bustamante. But, I have not many experience to build the process to made a plan for ICZM in this zone.
have you read The Ecosystem Approach from IUCN? its a methodology focused in developing countries
Hey Jose!
I am not from the area, but there is a group working with integrated coastal management in Southern Brazilian coast that I could introduce to you, if there would be any names that you would like to get in touch. The first link below is about many works (dissertation) they have developed within the scope of coastal management. The second link is the address o the researchers that I know, in case you need some contacts. Finally, the third link is a guideline from Brazilian government on the instruments for integrated coastal management. It is in Portuguese, but I assume it would not be so hard to read.
Hope it helps.
;)

Development of Coastal zone management is an good idea, it certainly enhance the standard of living of poor people along the coastal region. In the recent years aquaculture play a vital role in the development of coastal zones. So waste and salt soils turn into productive soils by commercial cultivation of Important Halophytes for oil production and vegetables. Commercial cultivation of macro algae in the coastal water also provide employment opportunity to the rural poor and helps increase productivity.
