| WWF HONDA MARINE PARKS PROGRAMME |
 Integrated Coastal Management in the WWF-SA Honda Marine Parks Programme
The coast is loosely defined as being where the “land meets the sea”. Drawing the boundaries of the coastal zone can be problematic – if you start to look at the vast amount of activities and processes that affect the coastline and the sea, you could easily include entire mountain ranges many kilometres away from the sea itself. The natural attributes of our extensive coastal line, pose some unique development challenges because they are inclusive of land, sea, dynamic beach strips as well as a popular site for human settlement, development, recreation and leisure.
