ICZM is a dynamic, iterative and multidisciplinary process that preparing and implementing a feasible program for the sustainable use of coastal and ocean resources and their development and protection. An ICZM program generally contains the following stages: issue identification and assessment, program preparation, formal adoption and funding, implementation, operation and evaluation. Nations take tangible steps depending on their specific needs and circumstances, when undertaking their own ICZM programs. Many successful ICZM examples all over the world prove it to be a workable way to address coastal and ocean problems.
