| Summary: | Inclusive and environmentally sound
sustainable development requires managing natural resources
that societies depend on for the long term. In the context
of marine and coastal resources which provide an important
source of income for large numbers of households and revenue
for countries, this implies balancing the economic, social,
and environmental dimensions of the use of the natural
resources in marine and coastal areas. The term “blue
economy” is increasingly being used to describe this
balanced approach. For coastal countries such as Vietnam,
the importance of its marine economy is well known. The
country has used the goods and services provided by the
natural assets in its near-shore and coastal areas –
including fisheries, mangroves, wetlands, lagoons, and sandy
beaches - for tourism, production of seafood, and
controlling climate events that cause erosion and
weathering. This report focuses on a critical issue related
to effective integrated coastal zone management -
establishment of coastal setbacks. The purpose of this
report is to help operationalize the requirements associated
with establishing coastal setbacks. The work focuses on
providing practical guidance drawing on experiences in
various provinces. |
