COSTAL ZONE
• The coastal areas are defined as areasbetween 50 meters below mean sea leveland 50 meters above the high tide level, orextending landward to a distance of 100kilometers from shore, including coralreefs, intertidal zones, estuaries, coastalaquaculture, and sea grass communities
(UN Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2003 : 54)

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
COSTAL STATISTICS
• According to the UN atlas, 44% of people live within 150 Kms of the sea.
• 60 % of the world’s 39 metropolises with a population of over 5 million are located within 100 km of the coast.
• 14 of the world’s 17 mega cities with populations greater than 10 million are on coasts.
• According to UNEP report , 1/3 coastal regions run a high risk of degradation.

COSTAL RISKS
Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability(frequency & severity) (Exposure & Capacity)
(UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction [ISDR] 2004).
RISKS FROM
COSTAL HAZARDS
• Risk from coastal hazards are defined by
the type and severity of the hazard and its
frequency of occurrence.
(UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction [ISDR] 2004).
COSTAL HAZARDS
– Tsunamis
– Earthquakes
– Storms
– Storm Surge
– Flooding
– Landslide
– Spills & Pollution
– Shoreline Erosion
– Sea Level Rise
– Climate Variability & Change
– Costal Resource Degradation
COSTAL HAZARDS
VULNARABLITY TO
COSTAL HAZARDS
• Vulnerability to coastal hazards is
expressed as the degree of exposure
of the population and its capacity to
prepare for and respond to the hazard.
(UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction [ISDR] 2004).

DEFINITIONS OF RESILIENCE
“Resilience determines the persistence ofrelationships within a system and is a measureof the ability of these systems to absorb changeof state….and still persist.”
- (Holling 1973)
DEFINITIONS OF RESILIENCE
• “…Resilience for social-ecological systems is oftenreferred to as related to three differentcharacteristics: (a) the magnitude of shock thatthe system can absorb and remain within a givenstate; (b) the degree to which the system iscapable of self-organization, and (c) the degree towhich the system can build capacity for learningand adaptation.”
- (Folke et al. 2002)
DEFINITIONS OF RESILIENCE
‘’The capacity of a system to absorb disturbanceand re-organize while undergoing change so asto still retain essentially the same function,structure, identity and feedback.”
- (Walker et al. 2004)
