Coastal areas around the world are severely stressed due to a myriad of human activities and marine pollution. They are now detrimentally being affected by climate change and sea level rise as well. One major theater most acutely impacted by these phenomena is coastal South Asia, an overcrowded region with low adaptive capacities. Drawing on the experiences of coastal countries and regions beyond South Asia, Towards Sustainable Coastal Development: Institutionalizing Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Coastal Climate Change Adaptation in South Asia recommends operationalizing integrated coastal zone management and linking the same with coastal climate change adaptation under appropriately crafted coastal laws to facilitate a move towards sustainable coastal development.

"The author has provided a persuasive case for regional coastal management. He has effectively linked the law with wider management and policy solutions. The book is set in an international context and draws on a variety of jurisdictions to develop a much-needed solution to a real and pressing issue. For a law book, there is also much fascinating detail about the areas in question, as well as excellent illustrative maps and the use of SWOT analysis. The literary references and the thoughtful, but realistic, tone make this an interesting read, as well as a scholarly consideration of climate change and sustainable development and ICZM in SouthAsia. It is book that should be read by coastal policymakers and decisionmakers from all countries with a sea board, as well as academics and students with an interest in coastal law and sustainable development."
