On the Issue of Applying Foreign Experience in Environmental Management in the Coastal Territories of the Russian Federation

Abstract

Environmental management in the coastal territories is characterized by a number of problems that significantly worsen the quality of tourists’ recreation as well as the life of local residents. These include conflicts between different types of human economic activity, the impact of adverse and dangerous natural processes, environmental pollution and negative human impact on natural landscapes in a whole that reduce the recreational potential of the territory and the quality of life of the population, and much more. Foreign countries also face similar problems in their coastal territories, and have accumulated considerable and relatively successful experience in solving them. In many cases, especially for territories with similar climatic characteristics, adverse and dangerous natural processes, types of human economic activity, it is necessary to use foreign experience in the management of natural resources in the coastal territories in Russia. An example of its use is shown on the example of tourism development in the Arctic territories of the Russian Federation in comparison with the Northern territories of Canada, USA, Norway, Greenland
