Strategy of construction within the marine coastal zone in relation with coastal dynamics / Stratégie de construction dans les zones côtières marines en liaison avec la dynamique littorale

Abstract

The coastal zone of seas and oceans has certain specific structures, trends and intensity of development which make it distinct from all other natural systems on the Earth. This also requires a special approach for development and construction in the coastal zone. Thus, on the basis of experience gained from coasts of different seas and states, a system of strategic measures including 16 main elements was formulated. It includes information data on construction, geographical localization of each sector of the coastal zone, corresponding methods of information analysis, harmony between the natural system and construction measures, maintaining the natural restoring potential of the coastal system, safe and effective exploitation of facilities under construction for a maximal period and ecologically friendly facilities. Integrated development of natural resources of the coastal zone seems to be not feasible. The type of economic activity should correspond to individual natural features of the coastal zone. Kinds of activity which contradict one another should not be permitted.
