Abstract

The Swedish coastal zone suffers from environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, overexploitation of fish stock and habitat destruction. Moreover, the coastal zone is an area of conflicts between many users, representing different types of fishery, aquaculture, tourism and nature conservation, among others. On the other hand, Sweden has taken measures to regulate coastal problems. Recently, efforts have been devoted to “Sustainable Coastal Zone Management” (SUCOZOMA). They are directed towards promoting a management of marine and coastal ecosystems that approaches the requirements of sustainability. The SUCOZOMA research program was launched in 1997 and is funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (MISTRA) for the period 1997–2000.
