At the World Bank, coastal zone management (CZM) is a part of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM), is an interdisciplinary roomates and Intersectoral approach to problem definition and solutions in the coastal zone, it includes a range of initiatives that promote the environmentally sustainable development of coastal areas, and encompasses a range of activities such as community-based management of coastal resources, large-scale infrastructure development (ports, industrial and residential parks, etc..), pollution and erosion control, aquaculture, tourism and recreation, oil spill contingency planning, and navigational risk assessment.CZM is a process of governance that consists of the legal andinstitutional framework Necessary to Ensure that development and management plans for coastal zones are integrated with environmental and social goals, and are developed with the participation of those affected.The purpose of the ICM is to maximize the benefits providedby the coastal zone and to minimize the conflicts and Harmful effects of activities on social, cultural and environmental resources.

Abstract Presents details on the thickness, lithology, and fauna of the Quaternary in Camargue, Rhone delta region, France, obtained in the course of petroleum exploration. The fauna, listed by horizons, is essentially Flandrian.

Abstract Reconstruction of the Quaternary terraces of the Rhone (southeast France) reveals three or possibly four levels between the Rhone delta and the Rhone-Drome confluence. The age of the lowest terrace level--best exposed at Valence-Romans and upstream--is questionable. It may represent either the Wuerm or the Riss, or it may be divided between two different stades--neo-Riss and an older stade represented by the Leore-Fouillouse terrace. The middle terrace is Rissian and the highest terrace represents the Villafranchian. This phenomenon of uplifted terraces seems to be related to an isostatic uplift of blocks to compensate for the load of glacial ice. The continuity and extent of this phenomenon would explain the relative positions of the terraces, the older higher than the younger. Cross sections are included which show the recognized terraces. A correlation chart presents the Quaternary stratigraphy of Scandinavia, the alpine regions, the Sahara, central Africa, and Australia, and includes the major archaeological divisions.

Sustainable management of coastal areas involves dealing with problems such as coastal erosion, rapid growth in the rate of urbanization, tourism, environmental degradation associated with industrial and urban activities. Besides consideration is provided for the effects of climate change, whose scenarios also have significant consequences on coastal systems that are already extremely vulnerable and prone to many human pressures. Over the years, several international and national studies have been conducted to deepen the coastal processes. To date—despite considerable efforts—there are still problems. Two relevant priorities emerge: managing coastal risks and ensuring sustainable coastal management. In response to the above-mentioned challenges, it is worthwhile to elaborate an integrated methodology that, basing on the collection, analysis and evaluation of data, may provide an effective guideline for the successful implementation of each action, while providing timely and targeted information for the adoption of governance strategies concerning the prevention and management of marine-coastal risks. In the present study, considering what emerged in the major research projects on the coastal field during the last decades, a methodological proposal is outlined to pursue the principles of the integrated coastal zona management (ICZM) and join the managing coastal risks with sustainable uses focusing on the implementation scale.
