O ZONEAMENTO ECOLÓGICO ECONÔMICO COSTEIRO E OS DESAFIOS DA GESTÃO COSTEIRA INTEGRADA

Abstract

The Integrated Coastal Management is understood as a dynamic and continuous process to manage natural sources sustainably in the coastal zone. In Brazil, the National Plan of Coastal management has ZEEC - Coastal Ecologic  Economic Zoning as an instrument to organize natural sources and the occupation of the territory and it is a relevant contribution to Coastal management. Seeking knowledge to improve the management, this article is about to develop a temporal analysis of ZEEC in the 17 Brazilian coastal states based on bibliography analysis every four years to discover how ZEEC helps in the coastal integrated management process. Therefore is fundamental to understand the implementation of ZEEC in the coastal states in the last decades and how ZEEC can be used in the coastal integrated management process.
