DESCRIPTION:
Xiamen is a port city on China’s southeast coast in Fujian Province whose name means “gateway” to the interior land areas. The city gained economic prominence from its coastal location and natural harbor for trade as early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). The designation of the city as one of China’s four experimental Special Economic Zones in 1980, and subsequent open door policy of the country, provided further impetus to an outward and marine economy coupling with construction, reclamation, tourism and other economic activities.
Integrated coastal management (ICM) was initiated in Xiamen in 1994 with the support of the Global Environment Facility/United Nations Development Programme/International Maritime Organization and PEMSEA. ICM in Xiamen is focused on integration of science into management decisionmaking for sustainable development, improving coordination between various management sectors, public participation, integrated sea-area use management and law enforcement. Integral to the framework of sustainable development of coastal areas, natural and man-made hazard prevention and management was identified as a key area in coastal profiling and response actions were included in Xiamen Coastal Strategy.
