Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), integrated coastal management (ICM), or integrated coastal planning is a coastal management process for the management of the coast using an integrated approach, regarding all aspects of the coastal zone, including geographical and political boundaries, in an attempt to achieve sustainability.
The 1st European Coastal Conservation Conference 1991, organised by the EUCC and the Dutch government, was the start of the development of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) as a policy approach. It led to the EC Demonstration Programme and to the adoption of the European Council and Parliament Recommendation on ICZM in 2002.

Alternatively, integrated coastal zone management approaches may be used to prevent development in erosion- or flood-prone areas, reducing the need to address the changes. Growth management can be a challenge for local authorities who must provide the infrastructure required by new residents. [7]
The concept of Freshwater Shoreline Management evolved from ideas developed for the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), which emerged from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. [2] In Canada, a coastal zone management plan was completed by 1996 using the ICZM framework. [3]
In the report, it was highlighted that an integrated coastal zone management (IKZM) is an important method for adaptation. [19] IKZM is an informal management approach to strengthen sustainable development by means of integration, communication, good coordination practice, and participation.
Coastal and oceanic landforms. Integrated coastal zone management minimizes the negative human impacts on coasts, enhances coastal defense, mitigates the risk associated with the sea level rise and other natural hazards. The beach erosion is a type of bioerosion which alters the coastal geography through beach morphodynamics.
