M. Kononenko, M. Shilin. Integrated coastal management planning strategies (Стратегии планирования в комплексном управлении прибрежной зоной) – St. Petersburg, Russian State Hydrometeorological University Publishing House, 2003. 181 p.

Reviewers: V. Limarev, Ph.D. in geography, Professor at the Pomorsk State University (Arkhangelsk);
A. Alekseev, Ph.D. in geography, Senior Researcher at the Zoology Institute of the Russian Academy of Science (Saint-Petersburg), President of the Section for Commercial Fishery of the Interdepartmental Ichthyological Commision.

The principles and methods of scientific planning for practical care of the coastal zone are analyzed on the basis of a systems approach. As an object of planning, the coastal system, its ecological, economical, and social sub-systems, is examined. The role of planning in integrated coastal zone management is revealed and discussed. Case studies and exercises are proposed for training in practical planning in the coastal zone.
