by Elisabeth Mann Borgese Founder and Honorary President
International Ocean Institute Adalberto Vallega has been, for
decades, a master and great teacher of integrated coastal
management and Mediterranean cooperation. This new book, of an
almost en cyclopaedic scope, is a most original contribution to the
rapidly growing literature on the subject, of equal value to the
academic community which will greatly appreciate the theoretical,
historic and philosophical underpinning of the work, and to the
practi tioner, the planner, regulator and manager, who will find in
these pages most useful "checklists" for his duties and
responsibilities. Vallega perceives the need for Integrated Coastal
Area Management (ICAM) in the broader context of the ongoing third
industrial revolution, which he calls the trans-industrial stage,
in its interaction with climate change. There have been profound
changes in the economies of the industrialized coun tries. The
development of the new High Technologies, including
micro-electronics, genetic engineering, new materials, has
accelerated the transition from an economic system based primarily
on production to one based very largely on services. This, in turn,
has facilitated "globalization" of production systems and services,
including the financial system, as well as the migration of people
The ongoing global "Great Peo ple's Migration" is, generally, from
the hinterland to the coasts where, already today, over 60 percent
of the human population resides, exercising unprecedented pressures
on the coastal and marine environment. Clearly, this justifies the
current emphasis, at global, regional and national levels, on the
need for coastal management."
